Why watch this film?
There are several movies that talk about the task of parents raising their children alone: such is the case of 'The Pursuit of Happiness', 'A Two Family House' and the moving 'Somewhere Special'. All of these, however, put extreme situations in the equation - in the case of the production with Will Smith, the difficulties of the job market; in the other two, diseases that need to be faced. It is interesting, therefore, to see a movie about 'Fatherhood' that deals with the theme with some naturalness, escaping from this imminent need to complicate the story. In this plot directed and written by Paul Weitz (of 'American Pie' and 'The Flynn Family'), we follow the effects of a single father (Kevin Hart) in raising his daughter (Melody Hurd). After all, the mother died in childbirth and the grandparents live in another city. There is no one else. Throughout almost two hours, filmmaker Paul Weitz (of 'American Pie' and 'The Flynn Family') shows the relationship between father and daughter, with the inherent challenges in this man's life and how it is for her to grow up without immediate female references - there is a question involving pants and skirts, for example, which bets on simplicity and shows the small depth of the story. But, despite making little progress on the issue of single parenting, 'Fatherhood' is one of those cute movies that we watch without problems or bumps in the road, with a Kevin Hart ('Jumanji') that surprises in a role between family comedy and drama. It is a movie that does not revolutionize the way we see the family in the 21st century, nor does it bring naturalness to paternal creation. In the end, however, it enters this list of good productions on the subject.

Grandma
Ellie Reid (Lily Tomlin) shut herself off from the world after losing her partner, whom she had lived with for 38 years. Antisocial and with a sharp sense of humor, she will have to come out of "her protective bubble" when her granddaughter asks for help. The two embark on a one-day journey that forces Ellie to confront her past and blossom, while the young girl must prepare to face the future. Outstanding performance by Lily Tomlin (from the series 'Grace & Frankie'), which favors an intense exchange on screen with the actress who plays her granddaughter, the also talented Julia Garner (from the indie drama 'The Assistant'). A transformative movie that, above all, speaks about the importance of establishing powerful family bonds.

Moving On
"Moving On" directed by Paul Weitz is a comedy-drama film that follows two estranged friends, portrayed by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, who reunite at a funeral and decide to seek revenge on the petulant widower, played by Malcolm McDowell, of their recently deceased best friend. Along the way, Fonda's character reunites with her great love, played by Richard Roundtree, as each woman learns to make peace with the past and each other. Despite the film's promising premise and the star-studded cast, "Moving On" fails frustratingly often to rise to the level of its leads. However, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are entertaining company regardless of the context. The film's R rating is due to language, and it has a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. "Moving On" was released on March 17, 2023, and distributed by Roadside Attractions. Overall, "Moving On" is a decent watch if you're a fan of the cast, but it falls short of its potential.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
