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.
Leave the World Behind
The paradox of apocalyptic thrillers, especially when adding irony to the mix, is that criticism and warning can turn into catharsis and, eventually, into frivolity. Written and directed by Sam Esmail (creator of the series Mr. Robot) based on the novel of the same name by Rumaan Alam, Leave the World Behind belongs to the select club of films with that effect, like Don't Look Up or The Menu in recent years. The plot follows a couple (Ethan Hawke and Julia Roberts) from New Jersey who, on a vacation with their children to Long Island, experience a series of disturbing events and the arrival of George Scott (Mahershala Ali) and his daughter (Myha’la), the owners of the house they are staying in. Distrusting each other and cut off from the rest of the world, both families must confront what, at every moment, seems more like an existential threat. It functions as an entertaining and well-acted thriller that will give you a great time, although it is not as deep as it pretends to be.
