Incendies
16% overall doesn't tell the real story for Incendies. This is a film that gets stronger as tournaments advance — a better matchup in a final than its win rate suggests. The film that earned Villeneuve everything after it is also his quietest devastation, a deep cut most voters have to be talked into. It repays that leap with a final revelation heavy enough to reframe everything before it, the kind of ending people don't shake loose. It ranks among the weakest 2010s performers on the platform.
Synopsis
A mother's last wishes send twins Jeanne and Simon on a journey to Middle East in search of their tangled roots. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's acclaimed play, Incendies tells the powerful and moving tale of two young adults' voyage to the core of deep-rooted hatred, never-ending wars and enduring love.
The opening number doesn't capture it. 10% early, 48% in the semis, 74% in the final — Incendies builds as the competition gets tougher, a trajectory most films can't sustain.
Against Prisoners, the margin is razor-thin: 49%. The most contested matchup in Incendies's record. The extremes tell a clear story — 86% against Dune at one end, 10% against Dune: Part Two at the other.
Incendies owns Best of Denis Villeneuve. Dune is the usual final opponent, and at 86% it's not much of a contest.
Denis Villeneuve's 8 films span a wide range: Dune: Part Two at 77% to Enemy at 5%. Incendies sits at #7.
