Why watch this film?
"Mr. Jones" tells the story, based on real facts, of journalist Gareth Jones, who risked his life to show the world what was happening in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, a fact known as Holodomor. This period was a time when Soviet Ukraine faced one of its worst moments and many people died of hunger. Jones unmasked the journalist Walter Duranty, who published false news about the USSR, giving the impression that Stalin's regime was great. The film manages to tell the historical facts in detail - which can be uncomfortable - and brings an excellent cast. Highlight for Vanessa Kirby, who impressed with 'Pieces of a Woman', James Norton, as Gareth, and Peter Sarsgaard with Duranty.

Charlatan
Czech filmmaker Agnieszka Holland ('Traces', 'Mr. Jones') is one of the most interesting names in Czech cinema, extremely prolific and with a unique creativity - despite some instability in her work in recent years. 'Charlatan' seems like the perfect mix between these good and bad moments of Holland's filmography. On the one hand, the feature succeeds in telling the story of a herbalist in the Czech Republic who analyzed his patients' urine and prescribed plants to cure them. The plot is interesting and the journey of this man undoubtedly raises many questions - are his methods really effective, for example? However, the filmmaker ends up weighing too heavily on the melodrama and, mainly, on the blank narrative. This interesting discussion about the herbalist's history never goes beyond, as well as important reflections on healing. In the end, however, it should please those who like good and interesting biographies, regardless of the critical content of the film. Reflection is up to you.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
When his family is murdered, a deaf-mute named Boy escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
