Why watch this film?
The only Carnival that Brazilians had in 2021 was on Netflix. This romantic comedy is ideal for getting into the spirit, in a different way than we are used to, but it reminds us of a pleasant time of the year. In the story, digital influencer Nina, who ends up becoming a joke on the internet after going viral with a video of her boyfriend's betrayal, wins a trip to Salvador during Carnival with her three best friends. The trip will make them all rediscover the value of friendship and that the universe of influencers is not the wonderful thing they think it is. A very "good vibes" movie from the streaming giant, which yields good laughs and makes relevant critiques of the virtual world - about agreeing to everything to become famous and the culture of cancellation. A very current and light production, which also opens space for the impacts that fame has on people's lives, whether you are famous or a friend of one.

How to Deal with a Heartbreak
Sequel to the successful Peruvian romantic comedy "Soltera codiciada" from 2018. In How to Deal with a Heartbreak, we pick up the story of María Fe (Gisela Ponce de León), who seems to be going through her best moment... until the pandemic arrives. Struggling with creative block but committed to writing a second book for a publisher, she faces an existential crisis in the worst possible way. This sequel is interesting because it takes into consideration how the pandemic affected an entire generation both professionally and economically. However, the narrative isn't as effective as the first one, as it tends to get lost in unnecessary detours and twists. You'll enjoy it if you liked the original.
