Why watch this film?
After 'Alpha Dog' and 'The Social Network', Justin Timberlake didn't have great roles in movies nor challenging ones. He participated in romantic comedies, science fictions, and even animations in the last 10 years and none of the characters were memorable. In 'Palmer', the singer and actor proposed to face a protagonist different from everything he had already shown on the big screen and executed this challenge with mastery. It is worth mentioning that Timberlake and the young actor, Ryder Allen, are the highlights of the movie, which delivers a sincere story about redemption and personal acceptance. Without a doubt, a success for Justin Timberlake's career and also for the director and actor, Fisher Stevens.

Before the Flood
"Before the Flood" (also known as "Before it's Too Late") is a documentary that, at times, may seem like a vanity project for Leonardo DiCaprio, who narrates and appears as an interviewer for much of its duration. However, if we look beyond that, the information it presents is important and powerful, as its images manage to argue in favor of the urgency to take immediate legal action to stop climate change.
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
