Why watch this film?
In his first movie since the Oscar-winning 'Vice', director Adam McKay returns in 'Don't Look Up' without losing his acidic humor. The film, which is worthy of the filmmaker's return, has a star-studded cast - with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet and Meryl Streep - and a story that fits perfectly with the Covid-19 pandemic, experienced from 2020 onwards. In the plot, two astronomers try to warn the population about a comet capable of destroying the Earth, but no one believes them. The production brings timely reflections on the course that humanity has taken and how it affects our lives, especially in relation to the destruction of nature. 'Don't Look Up' is a great social and political satire, hitting the right rhythm and balance between brilliant and depressing.

The Other Guys
Before becoming the acclaimed filmmaker of 'The Big Short' and 'Vice', Adam McKay was one of the main names in American comedy, with films like 'Anchorman', 'Step Brothers' and 'The Other Guys'. This last one, specifically, tells the story of two bureaucratic policemen (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) who are called to action after the death of two colleagues -- in a hilarious special appearance by Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. From there, we follow the typical action comedy, in which the characters get into typical entanglements of a fictional policeman's day-to-day life, just like 'Brooklyn 99'. It's not an exceptional comedy from McKay, but you can have fun and embark on this comic idea of the backstage of a typical police investigation.
The Big Short
How could the US financial market enter into a huge crisis around ten years ago? 'The Big Short' has the merit of turning an initially dry question into an interesting, engaging story that explains the various variables of such a gamble - and how one can both win and lose a lot of money with it. You'll have fun, but also discover some harsh truths about capitalism - which is a great bonus.
Vice
Director Adam McKay ("The Big Short") is an expert in satire and black humor. With "Vice," the filmmaker portrays one of the most powerful and controversial figures in recent American history, Dick Cheney, with the same acidic sense of humor. Obviously, the star of the show is the chameleon Christian Bale in the lead role, accompanied by the great Amy Adams as his wife, and Sam Rockwell as George Bush. It's no surprise that the movie received eight Oscar nominations and won at the Golden Globe for Bale's performance. It is undoubtedly one of the most interesting films of the 2019 awards season, which makes the audience understand politics with humor.

Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Love, Divided
From hate to love, there's only one step. Or, in this case, a very thin wall. Love, Divided (a remake of the French film Behind the Wall) is about a game designer (Fernando Guallar) who can only concentrate in absolute silence, which becomes a problem when a singer and pianist (Aitana) who is preparing for an important audition, moves into the adjacent apartment. It's a predictable romantic comedy, and the outcome can be seen from miles away. However, if you enjoy this kind of story, Patricia Font's remake is still charming.
