White Boy Rick
"White Boy Rick" is a movie based on a true story and set in Detroit during the 1980s. With solid performances from Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club") and Bel Powley ("The Diary of a Teenage Girl"), the feature film fails to deliver in its narrative, wasting the socio-political context of the story – which is about a 14-year-old boy becoming a political informant and, involved with the dark side of the city at the start of its economic and social decline, turns into a drug trafficker. Despite the gaps, it's an entertaining adaptation that brings good suspenseful moments.
'71
England and Northern Ireland have their history of conflict and disagreements. This movie takes place during one of the worst times, when soldiers occupied the streets of Belfast after a wave of protests from the local population. It is when a British army recruit finds himself alone in the city, being forced to deal with the population and the separatists. An interesting story that throws us into a little-known conflict in Brazil - and with powerful scenes, a solid script and a good performance by Jack O'Connel.
Drama
Manticore
Julian is a successful video game designer tortured by a dark secret. When Diana appears in his life, Julian will begin to see a chance at happiness.
Como el mar
Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching.
My First Film
Many filmmakers spend their lives trying to sustain their creative careers, unaware of their missteps. In My First Film, the debut feature of director Zia Anger (who has created videos for artists like Mitski and Beach House), we see the opposite: a filmmaker who looks back and reconstructs what went wrong in her disastrous first attempt when she was younger. Past and present blend with reality and fiction (featuring artists like Odessa Young), in a film that recreates not just events but emotions. There are many meta and revisionist films, but My First Film is the most fascinating since 2018's Shirkers, at the very least.
Borders of Love
Petr and Hana, who after years together share their unspoken erotic fantasies. What begins as an innocent conversation gradually turns into experimentation with other partners and increasingly pushing the limits of just how far they can go with a non-monogamous relationship before it gets out of hand.
