Why watch this film?
Originally titled 'Philophobia', from the Portuguese filofobia, which is the irrational fear of loving or falling in love with someone, 'Fear of Loving' deals exactly with that. Using teenagers, the story unfolds showing their vulnerabilities and traumas they suffered in childhood, usually due to disruptive families. The narrative is dominated by loneliness and an incessant search, by the protagonists, for something that does not exist, which is an ideal someone. After a while we learn that perfection does not exist and that people will always have flaws, and that's okay. 'Fear of Loving' brings a different story and one that relates well to the current world, especially for speaking of this fear of commitment that has become increasingly common among young people. This is the directorial debut of Guy Davies and he does a beautiful job.

Drama
Society of the Snow
On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to take a rugby team to Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes.
The Book of Wonders
A beautiful French production that deals with a profound theme in an accessible and sincere manner. The Book of Wonders tells the story of a woman (Alexandra Lamy) whose 12-year-old son falls into a coma. The mother embarks on a journey to fulfill adventures on the wish list as a way to cope with the loss and also to show the beauty of the world. Like any movie of this kind, it has its clichés, but if you're looking for something to warm your heart, this is an excellent choice.
Maestro
When you sit down to watch Maestro, it's natural to expect a biographical film about Leonard Bernstein, the talented and complex conductor portrayed by Bradley Cooper – who also directs. However, what unfolds in the plot is not something like a typical biopic, but rather a nuanced film about the love between Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan). Slow and contemplative, the feature avoids the pitfalls of turning this story into a melodrama in the style of Marriage Story, subtly presenting the emotions. On the contrary, Cooper leaves much implied so that we, the audience, can feel what is happening and not just observe. Therefore, it's a film that demands a lot from the audience, requiring them to engage with the concept and not find it merely monotonous.
