Why watch this film?
Starring the great actresses Glenn Close and Mila Kunis, 'Four Good Days' tells the story of Deb (Close), a mother who is helping her daughter Molly (Kunis) in the process of recovering from drug abuse. This time they spend together after a long distance revives past wounds, but also creates the opportunity to reactivate the love between mother and daughter. The interesting thing about the movie is to observe the actress Mila Kunis fleeing from her usual Hollywood roles, playing the risky and challenging role of a heroin addict, she does very well and is the highlight of the movie. In addition to her, we also have an incredible performance from one of the great actresses in the history of cinema, Glenn Close, who in itself dispenses presentations. Both share the screen magnificently together with the touching story.

Raymond & Ray
There is a very specific type of movie that always reappears: one that speaks of relatives who come together because of the desire of someone who has just died. This is the case of "Raymond & Ray," an exclusive Apple TV+ movie directed by Colombian Rodrigo García ("Last Days in the Desert," "Albert Nobbs"). The story follows the journey of half-brothers Raymond (Ewan McGregor) and Ray (Ethan Hawke) as they reunite when their absent father dies and discover that his last wish was for them to dig his grave. Together, they reflect on life and society, bringing up discussions that García has shown he knows how to do—still with strong and natural performances from McGregor and Hawke.
Drama
Totem
When it comes to personal pain, Mexican cinema tends to lean too much towards exaggerated melodrama, or towards the most mediocre miserabilism. With Totem, Mexican filmmaker Lila Avilés (awarded at the Morelia Film Festival for both this film and The Chambermaid) reminds us that there is another path: one of understanding, acceptance, and feeling. This is precisely what she invites us to do through the story of Sol (Naíma Sentíes), a little girl who gathers with her family to celebrate her father's birthday (Mateo García), who is too ill to attend the party. With great scriptwriting and a camera that is both furtive and complicit, Avilés' gaze infiltrates the bittersweet intimacy of a family united by imminent pain, gradually revealing, with compassion, the ways in which each person faces it.
Toll
Suellen, a toll booth attendant, uses her job to help a gang of thieves steal watches so that she can afford to send her son to a gay conversion workshop.
Hard Days
Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, on December 29th, detective Yuji Kudo drives his car to visit his mother, who is hospitalized with a serious health problem. On the way, he receives a call from the commissioner inquiring about his involvement in the creation of a secret fund, just as he learns that his mother has passed away. Yuji then accidentally hits a man with his car, who dies instantly. It's at this point that the protagonist, in the hospital, tries to cover up the death of the man he ran over by placing his corpse in his mother's coffin. Hard Days, an unlikely Japanese dramatic thriller, depicts the consequences of Yuji's decision, as he grapples with a series of mistakes stemming from his bizarre choices while under investigation. With a strange and tense, yet emotional atmosphere, the feature showcases the skill of filmmaker Michihito Fujii, who knows how to blend genres in a film full of improbabilities but true.
Monster
With films like Shoplifters and Broker (among many others), Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda is a master at telling stories of complex morality, where the truth is never simple, and answers navigate through all shades of gray. Monster is another great demonstration of this (the film won Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival 2023). Its plot begins with a mother concerned about her son's strange recent behavior, and after investigating, she begins to fear that he is being abused by a school teacher. However, as the plot unfolds, we witness all the elements that complicate and entangle the truth hidden behind. Monster is the kind of film that deeply moves and invites reflection on the ways we relate to—and judge—those around us.
