Why watch this film?
"Indian Horse" follows the life of Saul Indian Horse, a talented hockey player, dealing with racism against Canadian natives in the 1970s, in a residential school. This is a difficult movie to watch, but very necessary. This movie shows the brutal and harsh reality of life in these institutions. Giving a view and understanding to those who are not aware of this reality. Raw, painful, disturbing and exciting, this narrative manages to give weight and make an alert.

Indian Horse
Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and awarded at several Canadian festivals, 'Indian Horse: An Unbreakable Spirit' is a powerful drama based on the homonymous novel by Objiwa Richard Wagamese. Therefore, in addition to being an inspiring story about overcoming racial stereotypes and other personal obstacles (as it usually is with any good sports movie), it is also an interesting look at the culture of Canada's native indigenous people and the discrimination they have faced for decades.
Grand Isle
Nicolas Cage has a tumultuous and inconsistent relationship with the movies. In 'Mother and Father', the actor plays a character who attempts to murder his children in an outlandish and strange plot. In 'Fury' and 'The Rescue', meanwhile, he takes on the role of investigator as he discovers his daughter's kidnapping. Now, in 'Grand Isle', he blends these stories together as he plays a father who is accused of violently murdering his son and desperately needs to prove his innocence. Under the direction of Stephen S. Campanelli (of 'Indian Horse' and 'Momentum'), the actor enters a spiral of bizarre events -- and a typical Cage performance -- to give the story some gas and emotion. It's not a police or investigative film that reinvents the wheel or makes us look at these alternative Nicolas Cage productions again. But those who like this format and the American star will have fun. After all, Nicolas Cage is never enough. We always need more of his performances.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
