Why watch this film?
"Life Itself" is helmed and penned by Dan Fogelman, the creator of the critically acclaimed series ‘This Is Us.’ Here, Fogelman maintains the same atmosphere as on TV, blending romance and tragedy. Though it may be a bit too saccharine for some, the feature grows with the performances of an all-star cast which includes Oscar Isaac ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens"), Olivia Wilde ("Rise From Hell"), Annette Bening ("American Beauty"), as well as Samuel L. Jackson and Antonio Banderas (who need no introduction, right?).

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.
