Why watch this film?
Directed by Luís Pinheiro ('Mulheres Alteradas' and 'A Garota da Moto'), 'Vale Night' is a light, dynamic and very funny Brazilian comedy. It's an unconventional story about parenthood, where we follow two tired parents who just want to have fun. Mother Daiana decides to take a night off for herself, a "vale night", and leaves her son in the care of his father. Bored, he ends up taking the child to a party, and everything goes well until he loses the kid. From there, Vini has to go through a series of mishaps and misadventures to recover the child without Daiana noticing his disappearance. Besides being an unpretentious and exciting comedy of errors, the movie also succeeds in treating parenthood lightly and without glamorizations. Parents do everything for their children, but they are human and also want to have fun from time to time. Thus, the film is the perfect choice for a couple of tired parents wanting to relax a little.

Garota da Moto
Derived from the series aired by SBT and Amazon Prime Video, 'Garota da Moto' is another example of how action cinema in Brazil can still find its place. The feature film, directed by Luis Pinheiro (of the fun 'Mulheres Alteradas'), tells the story of Joana (Maria Casadevall, taking the place of Chris Ubach), a motogirl who, during her work, crosses with a gang of slave labor. She makes her own justice. From then on, she becomes the target of criminals, mainly of a man who seems to have control of organized crime in São Paulo - and, despite the exaggerations of the character, is well interpreted by Roberto Birindelli. From then on, the classic "cat and mouse" begins. It is, thus, a film of good intentions that, after the series, gives more strength and autonomy to the character of Casadevall. She goes after revenge and makes her own justice. With this, the feature film has gains and losses. It gains, first of all, by strengthening the character and making her go beyond a simple fight with another woman - and, look, caused by a man. However, on the other hand, this change of attitude requires sharper script and direction to make this character more credible and natural. And that simply does not happen. While the good 'O Doutrinador' embraces the fantastic, to speak of another Brazilian film of an avenger, 'Garota da Moto' takes itself too seriously. The character loses the opportunity to evolve, mainly with a mechanical performance of Casadevall. And the story gets stiff and very unbelievable, with very unnatural situations. Still, the action works in Pinheiro's hands, who manages to give rhythm and strength to the plot. Could it be better? No doubt. But it's a good way for national "genre" cinema to find its own voice and space more and more.
Comedy
Ninjababy
If The Worst Person in the World had a sister film, but more chaotic, furious, and eccentric, it would be Ninjababy. Starring the brilliant Kristine Thorp (Sick of Myself), the film is about a party girl who dropped out of college but is faced with the news that she's pregnant. While trying to figure out who the father is and whether or not to give the baby up for adoption, she also begins to mature while interacting with a character named Ninjababy, a product of her imagination created to cope with her situation. With anarchic energy, it's a film that captures the desires and worldviews of an entire generation.
