Why watch this film?
It is the adaptation of the Argentine book 'The Strangest Girl in the World' by Mariano Cattaneo, directed by the author himself (who had already made another adaptation as a short film). It is a simple story: Melién (Gina Mastronicola) is the typical outcast girl, who instead of socializing with her schoolmates, prefers to take refuge in her powerful imagination, reading and drawing. However, there are two issues: first, she is the object of ridicule and abuse by her classmates; and second, she swears that her drawings are more than that, beings with their own life that have come out of her imagination. 'The Strangest Girl in the World' mixes real image with some animation elements to tell a story that, under the fantasy, is both a portrait of bullying and an ode to the power of imagination. Without any great pretensions, it is a good family-friendly fantasy movie that, even if it does not reach the depth of its obvious inspirations (like Tim Burton or Guillermo del Toro), is still quite enjoyable.

In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
