Our review of Free Guy:

Explosions, adrenalin, dialogues and comic situations: Free Guy is the perfect movie to see with friends or family. Gamers will appreciate this new universe, fairly representative of popular online games, with numerous easter eggs to spot throughout the film. Those who have never touched a controller can rest assured: the story and stakes of this film are easy to understand, even if you're not a seasoned gamer.

But Free Guy also gives us food for thought: are our lives all mapped out? How much freedom do we have? Can we take our destiny into our own hands and create a better future for ourselves and others? With these themes, Free Guy is inevitably reminiscent of the excellent Truman Show, without falling into the trap of copying. In the end, we're left with a happy, funny story, and a desire to explore the world and dare to do those things that everyday life sometimes prevents us from doing.

If you want to (re)discover Free Guy at home, go to Disney+ from April 5, 2024.
