Why watch this film?
Tom Holland had already shown he was an excellent actor even as a child when he stole the scene in 'The Impossible' and, since then, he has only evolved. In this movie, Holland delivers a worthy performance - making it clear that he is not just Spider-Man from the Marvel Universe. 'Cherry' deals with the post-traumatic disorder that a young doctor suffers after returning from Iraq. The film is an interesting portrait of how the army messes with the minds of soldiers (and all those involved in this environment) and how damaging this can be in the future. As seen in Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket', if the training is psychologically disturbing, just imagine going to war.

The Gray Man
Netflix continues to push forward in its attempt to create big movie franchises that will sustain the platform's growth and attract new subscribers. 'The Gray Man' is exactly that: with a huge budget (US$200 million, Marvel Studios level), it brings directors and brothers Joe and Anthony Russo (from 'Avengers: Endgame') leading a star-studded cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Wagner Moura and many more. The final result is well executed, full of action and breathtaking scenes. What it lacks, however, is exactly the soul that would create a legion of fans to justify the establishment of a franchise. It would be better to keep it simpler, with more likable characters and a less shaky camera. Now, even though it's forgettable, 'The Gray Man' delivers good entertainment, full of explosions and high stakes involved. If you're an action fan, it's worth a play.

Avengers: Endgame
"Avengers: Endgame" is the conclusion to a grand arc of Marvel Studios, built through 22 films and spanning 11 years. The fourth movie of Earth's Mightiest Heroes begins shortly after the events of "Avengers: Infinity War," when Thanos gathers the Infinity Stones in the Infinity Gauntlet, snaps his fingers and kills half of all living beings in the universe. The remaining heroes go in search of a way to reverse the villain's actions, in a dense story (with humorous touches and plenty of action) and with many references to previous films--closing cycles in the most diverse ways. Even if it is long (3 hours long!) and slightly inaccessible to non-initiates of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ‘Endgame’ manages to deliver everything that fans of the House of Ideas wanted to see. It makes all the cinematic journey until now worthwhile.
Avengers: Infinity War
This movie works as the end of a cycle, which began with the first Iron Man movies and also the beginning, giving space for new superheroes. With humor, good action scenes and also a dose of emotion, 'Avengers: Infinity War' has a different tone from other Marvel productions: it is heavier and brings a reflection. For fans of superhero and action movies alike!
Captain America: Civil War
"Captain America: Civil War" is the third installment of the First Avenger trilogy, tying up the loose ends left by the second part with the events seen in "Avengers: Age of Ultron." After the Sokovia disaster, a new world law was passed regulating superhero activities - causing a split, with a pro-agreement group led by Iron Man and an anti-agreement group headed by Captain America. The result is a great fight between heroes, especially after Tony Stark finds out the connection of Bucky, Steve Rogers' friend now known as Winter Soldier, to his own past. One of the best films of Marvel Studios, which would credential Anthony and Joe Russo to take over the Avengers franchise.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
This is the second movie of the iconic Marvel character, set in modern times and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (who would later take on the 'Avengers' franchise). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" adds a spy and political thriller atmosphere without neglecting the plotlines set up in "The First Avenger". The action sequences are a show themselves, with great fight choreographies. Furthermore, the story includes elements and events that would later have repercussions not only in other Marvel movies, but also in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". This is one of the highlights of the studio.
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.
