Why watch this film?
If you saw French actor Félix Maritaud in '120 Beats Per Minute' or in the intense drama of 'Savage' (by Camille Vidal-Naquet), you will know that he is quite capable of conveying to the audience the deep emotional turmoil that his film characters suffer. In 'Jonas', he achieves the same effect with ease, presenting us with a broken and conflicted protagonist in the adult phase of the story (set in 2015), which intertwines with his contrasting adolescence (in 1997, played by young actor Nicolas Bauwens). This exploration of various stages in the character's life will certainly remind you of 'Moonlight', but the surprising twist of the script towards mystery hides a powerful emotional punch.

The Lost Patient
Young Thomas, only 19 years old, wakes up in a hospital. He doesn't know where he is or what happened. That's when he finds out he has been in a coma for three years. That's when psychologist Anna tells him his family was murdered and he is the only survivor of the massacre - his sister Laura, meanwhile, remains missing. From there, 'Le Patient' shows this young man trying to piece together his fragmented memories to unmask the killer, find Laura and, ultimately, uncover the truth about his entire story. Although somewhat obvious in its development, with a cliched ending, this Netflix exclusive production will hold the audience's attention and excite them with its plot.

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.
