Why watch this film?
The beginning of 'Monday' is more than promising. With an interesting filming style from Greek newcomer Argyris Papadimitropoulos, the movie reminds of 'Before Sunrise' as it tells the story of a couple who meet at a party in Greece, have an amazing night and then have to face the departure. After all, she (Denise Gough) decides to leave Greece to take advantage of a job opportunity in the United States. He (Sebastian Stan), meanwhile, has no plan whatsoever to leave there. He is a DJ, does some work with soundtracks. He has a life, in short. How will this couple face Monday's departures after this wonderful weekend? From there, Papadimitropoulos weaves this plot full of ups and downs, highs and lows. The fact, however, is that 'Monday' has a great premise, worthy of great romance movies. The cast is also committed to their roles, bringing good moments. The clear and colorful photography helps to give the overall tone of the film. Then, however, the production takes on an unexpected experimental tone, which walks between flavors of romances. It starts like 'Crazy in Love', evolves into a 'Before Sunrise' and, in the end, turns into a mix of Gaspar Noé with the Safdie brothers, shocking through love and the unknown. The highlight goes to Stan, here out of his comfort zone.

Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
Me Before You
Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.
