Why watch this film?
Even though it is the director Simon Stone's debut film and has a great hint of evening soap operas in its conflicts, 'The Daughter' achieves its main goal: making us reflect on family and the bond between parents and children. There are also beautiful scenes of rural Australia and an interesting cast in this free adaptation of the play 'The Wild Duck'.

The Dig
Another proof that it doesn't take a very elaborate story to make a good movie. 'The Dig' is a visually beautiful production, with a simple and emotional script. Simon Stone's casting direction work is one of the highlights, Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes rarely disappoint and this is another feature that shows the power of both their performances. Lily James, who has become a trademark figure in Netflix productions, is not left behind and once again stands out. The development of the characters is another strong point of 'The Dig', since it is a story that goes far beyond the proposal of "a wealthy widow hires an amateur archaeologist to dig up the tombs on her property". The density of the script opens up several layers, making the film quite captivating. A powerful drama that discusses culture, history and the need for the collective.
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.
