Why watch this film?
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.

No soy tu mami
Directed by Marcos Carnevale ('Elsa & Fred'), 'No soy tu mami' is an Argentine production with a central theme of enormous relevance to contemporary women, whose freedom of choice regarding romantic life and maternity is constantly questioned by traditional social pressures. This in itself puts it a bit above typical popular comedies, but it has to be said, the movie ultimately falls into some clichés as contradictory and paradoxical as the worries of its main character. Therefore, although it is well directed and entertaining, it is a production that is finally less subversive than it appears.
So Much Love to Give
An Argentine comedy about a man who has two families and uses the same routine every week to see both wives and children, but things get complicated. It's not the most original story in the world, the same premise has already been seen in 'Confusions Amorosas' (2003) and also in 'Women on the Attack' (2014), but still, it's worth watching. The movie is funny, it talks about female unity, revenge and also about knowing how to deal with impulses. Despite the theme, it's a light production and guarantees good laughs.
All Hail
It's a typical story of someone who, disappointed with their profession, a love or life in general, decides to retreat and go back home to think about life. 'Granizo', an Argentine feature film exclusive to Netflix, follows this exact path: it tells the story of a famous meteorologist who returns to his hometown after receiving a barrage of criticism for not predicting a terrible storm and begins a journey of self-discovery. Although it uses some obvious clichés of this rediscovery cinema, 'Granizo' has a different protagonist, who moves well between drama and comedy, has good humanity creation around him and makes it easy to identify with.
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.
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.
Space Cadet
Space Cadet is an unusual comedy exclusive to Prime Video and starring Emma Roberts. The plot's driving theme, typically seen in action, science fiction, or drama films, is space travel. Here, Rex (Roberts, in her usual role) is a party girl from Florida who ends up becoming the only hope for NASA's space program after an unexpected event puts her in training with other candidates who may have better qualifications. Without any desire to be more than she is, the feature film entertains in a carefree manner -- and plays with the notion of reality.
Acuérdate de mí
Xavier, a Law student, accidentally meets Soledad, a charming dancer. Their romance will face difficulties due to belonging to different worlds.
