Trailer
Why watch this film?
There are many movies about talented people overcoming life's adversities to achieve fame as artists (such as 'A Star is Born', '8 Mile' or 'La La Land', to name a few). However, 'Wild Rose' stands out for several reasons, starting with the great lead duo of Jessie Buckley ('Judy: Far Beyond the Rainbow') and the great Julie Walters (from the 'Harry Potter' saga). In addition, this film by director Tom Harper ('Peaky Blinders') has a great soundtrack and a wonderful main theme, one that moves you, in addition to a script with a very authentic perspective of what it is like to be a single mother in the working class.

The Aeronauts
Directed by Tom Harper ('Peaky Blinders', 'Wild Rose') and inspired by the book 'Falling Upwards: How To Take the Air' (by Richard Holmes), 'The Aeronauts' reunites Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, the couple of protagonists from 'The Theory of Everything', in an exciting survival epic in the heights. Even though the movie can't avoid certain narrative clichés, there is plenty of visual spectacle, as well as charisma and chemistry between the actors, to make it enjoyable and thrilling.
Heart of Stone
Although Heart of Stone (formerly known as Agente Stone) has the backing of producers known for the Mission: Impossible saga (and it is obvious they are trying to replicate that magic), this movie starring Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) falls into the same territory as other recent efforts from Netflix such as The Gray Man and Red Notice (also featuring Gadot) which try to launch big budget action franchises, but end up feeling like bloated stories, without direction, and lacking the same impact in their action sequences, often shot on green screen studio sets. The story follows an intelligence agent (Gal Gadot) working for a secret organization who faces the theft of one of its most valuable and dangerous elements when her identity is compromised by her personal connections. The latter is an interesting idea, but there isn’t enough strength in the script or performances to give it importance. Check out the full review of Heart of Stone.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
