Trailer
Why watch this film?
From director Bill Condon ('Chicago', 'Beauty and the Beast'), 'The Good Liar' is a traditional thriller based on the contemporary premise of online dating and frauds. It's not a particularly innovative movie in its genre, but the script is undoubtedly clever, albeit with some inconsistencies. However, it's easy to forgive any mistake for the true titans duel we have on screen: Sir Ian McKellen ('The Lord of the Rings') and Helen Mirren ('The Queen'), two veteran acting legends together for the first time in a feature film.

From the same director
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
The last book of the saga, 'Breaking Dawn', was split into two movies for fans not to say goodbye so quickly from the story. As in the other volumes of the saga, the soundtrack follows as one of the great highlights. In the fourth movie, Brazil is the destination of the protagonists on their honeymoon - yes, Bella finally manages to marry her great love. Their romance will suffer again, but this time with the character's pregnancy. The baby, half human, half vampire, is sucking the life out of the mother, but she does not want to interrupt the gestation in any way. The outcome is quite engaging, leaving a lot of curiosity for the final chapter of 'The Twilight Saga'. Still, it is valid to analyze that this is one of the most conservative films of the franchise - which was the cause of criticism. The main character is submissive to her husband and this ends up being extremely problematic in the unfolding of the story. The same happens in the book written by Stephenie Meyer, it is worth saying.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
The last movie of the story, which began with 'Twilight' in 2008. It is worth mentioning that Stephenie Meyer's narrative has always spoken to young people and explored opposites, when talking about Bella and Edward's forbidden love. Unlike 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1', this feature film has much more action and is quite surprising. Of course there are flaws, but it is still satisfying for fans and is the final chapter of a story that has conquered people all over the world - especially here in Brazil. As in the other films of the saga, the technical part continues to be problematic, highlighting the digitally created child (which had a somewhat strange result).
Beauty and the Beast
One of the most beloved and praised Disney films, 'Beauty and the Beast' got its live-action version with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the leads, while the mediocre director Bill Condon ('Twilight') took on the responsibility behind the camera. The result is not quite grand either. The story is the same as the original animation released in the 1990s, and even camera movements are replicated. Here, the viewer must find comfort in the stunning musical numbers (mainly the dance scene and "Be Our Guest") and an impressive production design - Belle's dresses are jaw-dropping. It's not amazing, nor as memorable as the original animation. Still, it should warm the heart of those fans looking for good Disney stories.
Drama
Kidnapped
'Kidnapped' - The story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna, Italy, who in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
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.
