Why watch this film?
Directed by Amy Poehler ('Parks and Recreation'), this movie shows that the future of teen movies can be promising. In 'Moxie', a teen tired of her school's toxic and sexist environment is inspired by her mother's past to publish an independent magazine that sparks a revolution among girls. It doesn't even need to be said how much cinema needs to address female struggle and deconstruction of machismo - in a less forced way than we see in productions specifically for that purpose that end up becoming too pedagogical. The magic of cinematography is to make us reflect (and learn too) about various topics in a lighter way and that can actually entertain us. 'Moxie: When Girls Fight' manages to bring the essence of coming-of-age films with a more serious background. Yes, it is possible to talk about teenage romance and at the same time develop a story that gradually gets rid of sexism. It's great to watch a movie where the characters seem real, even if they still have the stereotypes of the American school. Amy Poehler managed to make a good adaptation of the book 'Moxie' and bring a relevant story to the youth. The only negative point is that the protagonist's family drama ends up becoming a bit tedious, taking the focus away from the feminist revolution.

Wine Country
Amy Poehler, famous for productions such as 'Saturday Night Live', 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Baby Mama', produces, directs and stars in this exclusive Netflix movie. 'Wine Country' also features a star-studded cast of American comedies, featuring names like Rachel Dratch ('Click'), Maya Rudolph ('Bridesmaids') and, of course, Amy's long-time SNL partner: Tina Fey. The story takes place in the picturesque Napa Valley, famous for wine production in California, and perhaps works better as a travel guide than a comedy film due to its predictable jokes, but still the final result is fun.

Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.

Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
