Why watch this film?
Based on Joanne Harris' novel and directed by Lasse Hallström (of the melancholic 'Chocolat'), 'Chocolat' is yet another light and sweet fable about liberating desire, with a kitschy view of romance. If this movie were a dessert, it would be comparable to an industrial chocolate like any other, pleasant enough to please, but definitely not as memorable as the delicacies its protagonist makes. However, Juliette Binoche ('The Freedom is Blue') is as good as ever, accompanied by a strong cast including Johnny Depp, Judi Dench and Alfred Molina.

A Dog's Purpose
Adapted from W. Bruce Cameron's eponymous novel, 'A Dog's Purpose' is a movie with generous doses of drama and comedy, perfectly designed to move dog lovers. Its greatest sin is seeking easy tears, by pure and shameless manipulation of emotions. Stay away if you don't like such sugary movies, but if you have or have had a dog, we warn you: you will cry.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Despite a talented cast, including Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and young promise Mackenzie Foy, 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' is among the weakest Disney narratives in recent years (and unfortunately, with very little dance for a story based on the famous ballet 'The Nutcracker' by Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky). However, on the other hand there is an impressive production design and spectacular special effects, making the movie worth it for the visuals (which really enchant).

Dear John
Nicholas Sparks is the owner of an infinite number of romantic stories always similar and with strangely similar characters, such as 'The Notebook', 'Safe Haven', 'A Walk to Remember' and 'The Choice'. In 'Dear John', one of the audience's favorites, there is not much really different in Sparks' narrative adapted for the big screen. We follow the story of a soldier on leave who falls madly in love with a beautiful and conservative college girl, with all the predictable unfolding of a plot like this. However, the good performances of Amanda Seyfried ('Mank') and Channing Tatum ('Magic Mike') help the movie to have some differential and be memorable in its ending.

![The Nature of Love](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/u4i1uk/thumb/the-nature-of-love_iWsIW8M.jpeg)
The Nature of Love
Sophia, a 40-year-old philosophy professor, has been in a stable and conventional marriage to Xavier for a decade. From gallery openings to endless dinner parties, ten years have flown by. When Sophia meets Sylvain, a craftsman renovating the couple’s new country house, Sophia’s world is turned upside down. The two begin a passionate affair fueled by their irresistible physical connection. However, Sophia comes from a wealthy family of intellectuals, while Sylvain comes from a working-class family of manual workers. As they get to know each other on a deeper level, Sophia begins to question her own values after abandoning herself to her great romantic impulses. Director Monia Chokri delivers a smart and sexy romantic comedy, infusing it with spiky energy and fresh perspective, upending genre and gender conventions.
![Goyo](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/gbj1n4/thumb/goyo_3Uh5LCI.jpeg)
Goyo
Goyo is a romantic film directed by Argentine filmmaker Marcos Carnevale (known for movies like Elsa & Fred). It's about a museum guide with Asperger's syndrome (Nicolás Furtado) who unexpectedly falls in love with the museum's new security guard (Nancy Dupláa), an older woman disillusioned with love. The story is appreciated for its touches of humor and the portrayal of a romantic relationship for a neurodivergent person (in this case, on the autism spectrum). However, the story is somewhat superficial and melodramatic. You'll enjoy it if you're looking for a tender, uncomplicated romance to enjoy with a partner.

Jeanne du Barry
Jeanne du Barry is a French period drama, directed and starring Maïwenn (known for The Fifth Element), about the courtesan and the last official mistress of King Louis XV (Johnny Depp) of France. The film chronicles her life from her childhood and formative years as a servant's daughter, to her rise in French society through sex, alliances, and strategic marriages. Although well-crafted, it is a very conventional drama that, in its making, invites not very favorable comparisons with Barry Lyndon. While Kubrick's classic manages to be a very subtle satire, Maïwenn's film takes itself too seriously. This, considering its representation of the female gender and the backgrounds of its two main stars, not only does not help but invites questioning the purpose of telling this story, with so little hope for its protagonist. You will enjoy it if you like period dramas with sumptuous costumes, or if you are an avid follower of Johnny Depp.
