Why watch this film?
Movies based on real events tend to move us and when it's about lost lives then that power is even greater. 'United 93' tells the story of the people who were on the plane that was hijacked on September 11th, 2001, unlike the other two that hit the World Trade Center, this one was supposed to fall on the Pentagon but thanks to the passengers it ended up being diverted from its route. It's a punch in the stomach to watch this movie. Hard and devastating, it's completely absurd to try to feel a third of what the crew went through that day. What happened on September 11th is one of the greatest tragedies caused by man in the 21st century, no matter how many years pass, it's still very hard to think about it.

From the same director
Captain Phillips
Based on true events that occurred in 2009, it may not be an exact portrait of the events, but as a cinematic work, it manages to create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere that grips the viewer. Director Paul Greengrass puts his trademark - fast and impactful action scenes - but the real merit lies in the casting of non-actors in the roles of the Somali pirates. Their performance is one of the high points of the work.
Jason Bourne
One of the most electrifying action franchises of the 2000s, 'Bourne' returns in this feature starring Matt Damon once again and directed by Paul Greengrass. Although it rescues elements that made the first three movies a success, 'Jason Bourne' doesn't manage to repeat the impact of those productions. Nonetheless, it works as a continuation of the protagonist's story, adding new elements here and there - which pleases the character's fans.
22 July
Based on real events, the terrorist attacks on Norway on July 22, 2011, perpetrated by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, the movie is directed by Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum), who brings his signature dizzyingly paced style without forgetting the emotional drama of the victims and their families. A necessary story (unfortunately) in today's world.
Green Zone
Countless movies have been made about the US war in the Middle East. 'Three Kings', 'Zero Dark Thirty', 'American Sniper' and, of course, 'The Hurt Locker', winner of the 2009 Best Picture Oscar. And 'Green Zone', a feature film starring Matt Damon and directed by Paul Greengrass ('Captain Phillips'). The plot follows the journey of a soldier (Damon, in one of the most interesting roles of his career) who begins to see a complete lack of sense in the American invasion of Iraq. From there, the character enters an almost Kafkaesque plot trying to understand everything that is happening in the Middle East - a feeling amplified by the opposing views of a CIA agent (Brendan Gleeson, excellent) and a US defense superintendent (Greg Kinnear). Although Greengrass's hand-held camera gets a bit tiring at times, it's hard not to leave the movie more thoughtful, reflecting on the direction of humanity.
News of the World
"News of the World" is one of those movies that has everything going for it. Directed by award-winning Paul Greengrass, it reunites him with Tom Hanks, who starred in the exceptional "Captain Phillips". And Helena Zengel, from "System Crasher", surprises with a top-notch performance at only 12 years old. However, it's worth saying that the movie isn't all that. In the best western style, the feature film fails to take off the plot from a generic events muddle, apparently looking for an awards season ready-made formula: from the soundtrack, to the excessive close-ups of the two protagonists, and even to the obvious and typical "Oscar-bait" production design. However, this does not invalidate some qualities of the feature, such as the good chemistry between Hanks and the little Zengel, which adds a flavor of emotion to the story. And Greengrass' firm direction, especially in scenes like the shootout. An absolutely forgettable movie, but which still has room to travel in the Old West.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
