Falling for Christmas
After an intermittent presence on screen during the 2010s due to a series of legal issues, Lindsay Lohan returns to the cinema with 'Falling for Christmas', a Netflix Christmas romantic comedy that is the first of several projects between the actress and the streaming platform. In this movie, Lohan plays the spoiled heiress of a hotel magnate who, immediately after getting engaged, suffers an accident and ends up with amnesia, being taken care of by a handsome innkeeper. It's one of those Hallmark-style Christmas movies that, unpretentiously, entertain with a cliché and cheesy romantic plot. Nothing special, but fans of this type of film and of Lindsay Lohan, above all, will enjoy it.
Romance
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
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.
