Why watch this film?
One of the most controversial experiments in psychology was called The Stanford Prison Experiment, in 1971. In it, Professor Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University divided his students into two groups. One would be formed by prisoners. The other, by police officers. From there, he analyzed the behavior of people in groups based on acts of authoritarianism and violence. The result, in addition to influencing branches of psychology, became a movie in 2015 under the direction of director Kyle Patrick Alvarez (from 'C.O.G.'). Here, the filmmaker commands an interesting cast (Ezra Miller, Tye Sheridan, Billy Crudup) to talk about the backstage and the directions of the experiment. The great merit ends up being with the filmmaker's courage to provoke the case, accused of having been manipulated by Professor Zimbardo.

Crater
A thrilling Disney+ production, with a surprisingly dystopian backdrop, for young adventurers. In Crater, we follow a boy (Isaiah Russell-Bailey) who has lived his whole life in a lunar mining colony, where the inhabitants work with the promise of being relocated to another planet after years of work. But when his father dies in an accident, he is chosen for relocation on a 75-year journey. To say goodbye to his friends, he decides to bring them together for his father's last task: to travel to a mysterious crater on the moon. Aided by a girl who grew up on Earth (Mckenna Grace from Ghostbusters: Beyond, in the best performance of the movie), the group embarks on a fun - and dangerous - adventure across the moon. It's a science fiction and road movie proposal with certain doses of melancholy and darkness, speaking to the young generation of Greta Thunberg who fight to imagine a better tomorrow.
Thriller
![A Quiet Place: Day One](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/1Al6bl/thumb/a-quiet-place-day-one_RP_q00s.jpeg)
A Quiet Place: Day One
A Quiet Place: Day One is a prequel that expands the narrative of A Quiet Place into new genres and characters. There's none of the Abbott family (John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, and company) here, as the story is set at the very start of the ultrasonic-sensing alien invasion. We now follow Sam (Lupita Nyong'o), a woman with terminal cancer who is in New York City when the disaster begins. With the world coming to an end, she decides she has nothing to lose, so she ventures through the silenced city in search of the one thing she wants. Though more inclined towards the realms of action and disaster cinema, this prequel presents a surprisingly existential and moving story, with great performances from its protagonists (with Joseph Quinn of Stranger Things completing the duo). It doesn’t break new ground in apocalyptic films, but it does manage to find humanity in a franchise that already felt tired in its second installment.

Son of No One
Al Pacino co stars in this movie about a young cop (Channing Tatum of DEAR JOHN, STOP-LOSS) who is assigned to a precinct in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up. To provide for his wife (Katie Holmes of DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, BATMAN BEGINS) and ailing daughter, he works hard to keep his life on track. But this life is threatened when a dark secret bubbles to the surface. An anonymous source reveals new information about the unsolved murder of two boys and a possible police cover-up, setting off a chain of events that rattles the neighborhood. Also stars Juliette Binoche, Ray Liotta, and Tracy Morgan.

Something in the Water
An idyllic wedding trip turns into a nightmare for a group of friends when, stranded on an island with no way back to land, they are attacked by a shark. Something in the Water is a survival thriller that adds to the ever-growing canon of killer shark movies, without really bringing anything new. However, if you enjoy these tense survival stories in extreme situations, you're sure to enjoy it.

Under Paris
The killer shark movie subgenre gets a French addition with Under Paris. The plot follows a scientist (Bérénice Bejo, from The Artist) who must confront her tragic past and find a solution when the presence of a violent shark is discovered in the Seine River, shortly before a major triathlon. It's a film with a outlandish premise (like so many of its shark movie counterparts), though never ridiculous or comedic: it falls more into the territory of a conventional thriller than the comedy of Sharknado. Predictable, but if you enjoy these kinds of movies, you'll find it entertaining.
