Why watch this film?
A hilarious dramatic comedy starring Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Regina Hall and Awkwafina, the feature film 'Breaking News In Yuba County' is one of those stories that bet on the absurdity of situations - and the great probability of everything going wrong - to make people laugh. Here, more specifically, director Tate Taylor (‘The Help’ and ‘Ma’) plays with the story of a woman who takes advantage of her status as a subcelebrity while searching for her missing husband. It's a well-dosed situational comedy, although with all the absurdities that director Tate Taylor insists on putting in his exaggerated direction. Highlight for Allison Janney (awarded in ‘I, Tonya’) with a humor to measure.

Ma
An original premise and an extraordinary actress in the lead role should result in a memorable movie. Unfortunately, 'Ma' doesn't reach its full potential, but the powerful performance of Octavia Spencer (Oscar winner of 'The Help', also directed by Tate Taylor) is already enough reason to watch this movie and have fun.

The Girl On the Train
Based on the acclaimed novel by Paula Hawkins, 'The Girl on the Train' is proposed to be a thriller in the same vein as David Fincher's 'Gone Girl'. As a script, it definitely does not reach that level, but it has great performances from Haley Bennett and the always brilliant Emily Blunt to make it worth giving it a chance.

The Help
You may find "The Help" set in the sixties, but its themes remain relevant. With great cinematography and outstanding performances - particularly from Octavia Spencer who won an Oscar for this movie - the film presents its story in a fresh and even humorous way, which earned it three more Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.

Ava
Jessica Chastain stars as the protagonist and producer of this action movie that seeks to break away from the cliché that only men can lead this type of feature. It's almost inevitable not to compare it with Charlize Theron's 'Atomic' and celebrate that Hollywood is opening up space for women to star in any story, changing the usual and generic pattern of things. In addition to Chastain, the production has good actors such as Geena Davis, John Malkovich, Common, Colin Farrell and Joan Chan. However, it must be said that action movies with female protagonists still have scripts that could be better explored.
![Get On Up](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/qPxxi7/thumb/get-on-up_xEbSIAU.jpeg)
Get On Up
Directed by Tate Taylor ('The Help') and produced by Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, 'Get On Up' portrays the life of the Godfather of Soul in a spirited and charismatic biopic. The film manages to capture the strength and presence that James Brown had on stage, making the whole movie vibrate with a lot of groove. The production is composed of a star-studded cast, bringing together names like Viola Davis, Dan Aykroyd, Octavia Spencer and Craig Robinson, but the big highlight is Chadwick Boseman, who embodies the singer and dancer incorporating his energy and personality impeccably. It is a stylish biography, which captures the essence of its character and makes it flow throughout the movie. A recommended work for both fans and occasional viewers, those who know James Brown will love it, but those who don't will be impressed with the story of this icon.

![Outsider Girls](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/cRSp4H/thumb/outsider-girls_gfUGunI.jpeg)
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](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/mc4yPG/thumb/problemista_fqYJkEg.jpeg)
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.
