Frozen

“Dans Frozen river, on est dans du Zola et du Hugo à l'américaine et le misérabilisme plein pot, un plein jour de soldes. Ici, c'est la grande braderie de la misère sociale, même qu'ils auraient pu l'appeler "Les Misérables en hiver" qui font passer des migrants pour boucler les fins de mois... Ici, les miséreux ont tous une sale gueule et une vilaine peau, y compris leurs mômes... faut dire que manger du pop-corn et boire du jeu d'orange (il est surgelé je présume), ça ne rend pas jouasse. En p”

“This is the greatest film I have seen in a long time. How didn't Melissa Leo win the Oscar for this? This is the performance of a lifetime that will hopefully go down as a classic.”

“The rule that independent American films have more substance than their Hollywood counter parts is yet again reaffirmed. The weight of the film is carried on the shoulders of the brilliant Melissa Leo who plays the down-ridden, abandoned mother of two, struggling to provide them a better life.

“I was excited to watch this movie after all the buzz about it but I've been a bit disappointed. Yes, the animation is great and it keeps all the typical Disney details and is funny, sometimes. In addition, it features two strong female characters that don't need of a hero to save the story but ... ... but still they are the super-beautiful and perfect Disney princesses, as if they couldn't be normal girls from normal status, and the role of Queen Elsa is not that important as it would have”

“If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) Six years later, and Frozen has left an undeniable cultural impact. From Let It Go to tons of merchandising, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee delivered such a memorable film that people not only didn’t forget but regularly asked for its sequel. As of right now, Frozen II has claimed the third-best animated opening weekend ever, proving that the love for this franchise (I think it’s safe to call it that already) is strong. Howev”
