Trailer
Why watch this film?
Teen movies involving romance and some kind of illness are not new -- 'The Fault in Our Stars' certainly opened that door. So, trying to get away from that same old thing, some titles are starting to go towards a more reflective side and talk about mental health. 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before', from Netflix, was one of the first to do this, committing all kinds of possible absurdities. Now, 'Words On Bathroom Walls' follows a more sensitive path, understanding the limits and sensitivities of talking about mental illnesses in adolescence -- even though, inevitably, there is romanticization of the situation at some moments. The highlight of this film by Thor Freudenthal ('Diary of a Wimpy Kid'), inspired by a book by Julia Walton, ends up being the performance of Charlie Plummer who, despite the limitations, has shown himself to be one of the most interesting young actors of his generation. To cry and be moved.

Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
