Why watch this film?
From director Colin Trevorrow ("Jurassic World"), 'The Book of Henry' is an ambitious movie that tackles a lot of themes, but it has to be said that it doesn't always maintain consistency and there are some abrupt shifts in tone. Nevertheless, it's precisely these themes that will leave you reflecting after watching it. Plus, it has a great cast led by Naomi Watts and Sarah Silverman, as well as rising young stars like Jacob Tremblay ("The Room"), Jaeden Martell ("It") and dancer Maddie Ziegler.

Jurassic World
"Jurassic World" was a big milestone in blockbuster cinema. The now classic Steven Spielberg film managed to bring together cutting-edge technology of the time to recreate those huge and fascinating monsters, as well as bring us an engaging story and a philosophical plot about man trying to become God. More than two decades later, Universal recreated the franchise with a movie that uses today's technology to make the action sequences and deadly monsters even more spectacular, while trying to make us think about the limits of greed in entertainment. Okay, the feature directed by Colin Trevorrow fails in its philosophical task, but delivers enough adrenaline to entertain us (including several references to the original movie). Marvel fans can still have fun with the interesting chemistry on screen between the protagonists Chris Pratt ("Guardians of the Galaxy") and Bryce Dallas Howard ("Spider-Man 3").
Jurassic World Dominion
"Jurassic World Dominion" is the conclusion of the trilogy that began in 2015 with "Jurassic World: The World of Dinosaurs" - and, with the inclusion of some key characters, closes an entire hexalogy that began with the first "Jurassic Park" in 1993. The story starts where "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" left off: several species of dinosaurs escaped into the rest of the planet and started to reproduce, so humanity must learn to coexist with them. In this new world, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) live in hiding to raise Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon), but when the girl is kidnapped by the genetic engineering company BioSyn, they must travel to their dinosaur sanctuary to rescue her. The script, it must be said, is flawed: it entangles unnecessarily to bring together all the iconic protagonists of the saga coherently, and much of the plot is superfluous, artificially inflating the almost two and a half hours of its filming. However, there are good things, such as exciting chase sequences and suspense with the true stars of these films: the dinosaurs. So if you are a fan of "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World", then you will really enjoy "Dominion".
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.
