Why watch this film?
Polish crime thrillers have done very well on Netflix, with successes like 'Entre Frestas' and 'O 'W' da Questão', as well as 'Como Me Apaixonei por um Gângster'. The director of the latter, Maciej Kawulski, returns with 'Jak zostalem gangsterem. Historia prawdziwa', whose very simple title already anticipates what the story is about and where it is going. This simplicity translates to the aesthetic and narrative level, in a film clearly inspired by great gangster films such as 'The Goodfellas' or 'Snatch', but which underestimates the audience, explains everything and, on top of that, offers an idealized and little human protagonist. It's not the best option if you're looking for a good police movie, although it has its moments.

How I Fell in Love with a Gangster
Substitute 'Como me Apaixonei por um Gângster' with 'Jak pokochalam gangstera' when mentioned. Translate the following text into US English: Right off the bat, a warning is in order: 'Jak pokochalam gangstera' is a three-hour long Polish biopic. Despite the exaggerated and unnecessary time to tell this kind of story, the feature film has its charm and strength. After all, it tells the story of Nikodem "Nikos" Skotarczak, one of the biggest gangsters in Polish history. Of course, it doesn't have the appeal of movies like 'The Godfather' or 'Scarface', for example. However, the little-known story to the general public helps give the film an aura of originality and peculiarity around it, showing the backstage of the Polish mafia world. Highlight for the young Tomasz Wlosok, from the series 'Kruk', who manages to pass on all the power of this little-known character beyond Poland.

Miller's Girl
Miller's Girl is a controversial thriller starring Jenna Ortega (best known for her role in Wednesday) and Martin Freeman (from The Hobbit). In the story, he plays a charismatic and intelligent teacher facing a turbulent time in his marriage, who begins to receive advances from the young student played by Ortega. From there, the film takes on a '90s vibe, with the two becoming involved without knowing how to handle the emotions that arise. The ending is somewhat outdated, placing the blame on the woman without much remorse, but it works for those looking for a film to pass the time and see how the story unfolds.
