Our suggestions
With beautiful photography and Rachel Weisz's ('The Constant Gardener', 'The Favourite') great performance, the film adapts the 1951 novel of the same name, which had previously been adapted to the cinema in 1952. Here, however, director Roger Michell (of 'Notting Hill' drama) hits the right tone of the story to combine drama, suspense, and romance. In this way, the general public can find its place within the feature film without ever compromising the strength of the movie as a whole.

Tea With the Dames
'Tea with the Dames' is exactly what its title suggests, an intimate chat with lots of tea between the great dames of British drama: Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith. They reminisce about moments in their careers, how they met and curiosities of their trajectories. Directed by Roger Mitchell, of 'Notting Hill', everything is conducted with the necessary lightness to turn the meeting of four great friends into a documentary that entertains the viewer. The result is a valuable narrative for the fans of these great actresses and, of course, for cinema fans in general.
A Weekend in Paris
A bittersweet and sarcastic love story about a couple who, 30 years after their union, return to Paris. There, they are forced to confront that time has passed - but also to rediscover what they had in the beginning. An intelligent film, with one of the most beautiful cities in the world as its backdrop.
Blackbird
A truly touching movie. Some may blame it for being too "in your face", but it still deeply moves you, as it makes you wonder how it would be possible to deal with a situation like this. And the more you think about it, the more it depresses you. But in a good way. After all, the movie's story really challenges you morally and, along with that, tells a great story about love and family bond. The acting is excellent. Susan Sarandon finally gets to appear in a big role again and she really nails it. She adds a lot of sarcasm to it, which helps make her character appealing and convincing, especially considering the struggle that lies within her. Kate Winslet is very light here with some very good moments that build up her character well.
Notting Hill
A great classic of romantic comedies from the late 1990s, about a common Brit with a pacific life in Notting Hill, London's neighbourhood, who ends up getting involved with a famous Hollywood actress - and has his life turned upside down. With a round script and impeccable performances by Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, it's a movie for the eternal lovers.
The Duke
Surprisingly entertaining movie about a taxi driver who steals a painting from the National Gallery in London. Starring Oscar winners Helen Mirren ('The Queen') and Jim Broadbent ('Game of Thrones'), 'The Duke' is charming and both actors perform their roles very well - perhaps too well. Despite the humor being particularly British, it's effective comedy with messages about social justice that are quite relevant, even though the story is set in the 1960s. The movie has a great pace, keeping the narrative moving and not worrying about unnecessary details.
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.
