Trailer
Why watch this film?
Although it was banned in its country of origin, Kenya, where homosexuality is considered illegal, "Rafiki" (which translates from Swahili as "friend") was released in the Certain Look section of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where it had the distinction of being the first Kenyan production ever released in the festival's history. Without resorting to sensationalism or misery-mongering, the film is an open denunciation of the culture of its country that, although it is not particularly original in its argument, it is in a vibrant, energetic, colorful and moving execution.

Look Both Ways
Lili Reinhart salta da série 'Riverdale' para o cinema com um filme que lembra - pelo menos em seu conceito - o clássico 'De Repente 30', com Jennifer Garner e Mark Ruffalo. Embora o clássico dos anos 2000 fale sobre as experiências ligadas ao amadurecimento, este longa aqui explora as diferentes experiências que uma menina pode ter enquanto ainda é jovem e começa a descobrir a vida fora do colégio. 'Look Both Ways' é sobre uma garota (Reinhart) cuja vida se divide em duas em um momento chave: em uma versão de sua vida, ela engravida e se torna uma jovem mãe; na outra, se forma, consegue o emprego dos sonhos e tira a desejada vida profissional do papel. Um filme cheio de experiências como amor restaurador, decepção e autodescoberta.
