Why watch this film?
Produced by the late 20th Century Fox and, after its merger with Disney and the arrival of the new coronavirus pandemic, it ended up in a limbo with no possibility of release. The solution found by Mickey Mouse's house was to sell the distribution rights to Netflix, which launches the feature film worldwide with its exclusive seal. In the plot, adapted from A.J. Finn's book, we follow the story of a woman (Amy Adams) with agoraphobia - fear of leaving home, in short. Her life turns upside down, however, when she witnesses a crime from her home window, in the same mold as 'The Girl on the Train'. It is a competent domestic thriller, albeit full of clichés, and that knows how to play with the viewer's moods. The absolute highlight is Amy Adams' performance, who knows how to embody well the role of this desperate woman.

Darkest Hour
An astonishing performance from Gary Oldman, who won an Oscar for Best Actor for playing Winston Churchill at one of the most dramatic moments in human history, when Hitler and the Nazis ruled over France and threatened Britain. Appointed as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Churchill must rally the people and the dissonant political forces to reestablish the country’s military order—and then ensure victory for the Allies. Though with poetic liberties, director Joe Wright's (Pride & Prejudice) feature manages to portray the complicated personality of the statesman—which gives even more luster to Oldman’s work. It is worth mentioning that 'Darkest Hour' covers all the behind-the-scenes of the so-called \"Operation Dynamo\", which makes it a perfect pair to watch before or after 'Dunkirk', a production by Christopher Nolan that covers exactly the same facts, but from the view of the combatants on French territory.
Pan
The story of the boy who didn't want to grow up has already had several versions in the movies. We have the classic Disney adaptation from 1953, the reinterpretation with Johnny Depp in the acclaimed 'In Search of Neverland' and even Steven Spielberg's delightful interpretation in 'Hook: The Return of Captain Hook'. But the most different and daring version was with 'Peter Pan' -- also known as 'Pan', according to the original title. In it, Hugh Jackman (the eternal Wolverine) takes on the role of Captain Hook in a multicolored plot with special effects that fill the eyes. The biggest difference, however, ends up focusing on the director Joe Wright's (‘The Fate of a Nation’) desire to talk about Peter's story before Pan. There are many narrative problems, leaving the plot somewhat bloated and tiring. But in the end, there is this good enchantment.
Hanna
Revenge thrillers can be repetitive, but few have a teenage protagonist capable of such extreme violence. Directed by Joe Wright ('Pride and Prejudice'), 'Hanna' stands out for its brilliantly choreographed action sequences and excellent performances from its two leads: Saoirse Ronan (still young) and Cate Blanchett.
Cyrano
'Cyrano de Bergerac' is one of the most classic stories in French theater, with a fictionalized version of the life of the poet, writer, and playwright of the same name. This cinematic version, directed by Joe Wright (of 'Pride & Prejudice'), brings a twist: instead of the protagonist suffering from a large nose, he has dwarfism. Thus, the main character is played by Peter Dinklage ('Game of Thrones'), with 'Cyrano' becoming a fun and colorful musical. The general premise, however, remains the same: the protagonist falls in love with Roxanne, but she, however, is enchanted by another man, Christian. Feeling unworthy of this love, Cyrano then helps the adversary by writing passionate letters - which enchant the beloved. The performances are the highlight, in a cast that also includes Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Ben Mendelsohn.
Pride & Prejudice
"Pride & Prejudice" is one of the most famous books in English literature, perhaps the most popular in Jane Austen's bibliography and, consequently, there are no shortage of adaptations for cinema and television (the most famous, up to this version, starred Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier). This version, however, is a classic story seen through fresher lenses and montages, in a contemporary style, to bring a well-known tale to a younger audience of the time. It is no wonder that the protagonist is played by Keira Knightley, then world-famous for her participation in the Disney saga "Pirates of the Caribbean". The rest of the cast does an excellent job, highlighting Donald Sutherland and Rosamund Pike.
Atonement
"Atonement," directed by Joe Wright, is a captivating drama/romance film that follows the lives of young lovers Cecilia Tallis (Keira Knightley) and Robbie Turner (James McAvoy). The film is based on the book by Ian McEwan and features strong performances, brilliant cinematography, and a unique score. Saoirse Ronan delivers an outstanding performance as Briony, Cecilia's younger sister, who accuses Robbie of a crime he did not commit, ultimately changing the course of several lives. The film's narrative structure is masterful, and the World War II setting adds a layer of complexity to the story. The chemistry between Knightley and McAvoy is palpable, making their love story all the more heart-wrenching. Overall, "Atonement" is a beautifully crafted film that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll.
