Trailer
Why watch this film?
From the same director and screenwriter of the political horror 'A Chorona', Jayro Bustamante, 'Temblores' tells the story of a married man, father of two children, conservative and evangelical who ends up romantically involved with another man. The narrative is undoubtedly relevant, weaving criticism about how certain religions deal with homosexuality. Perhaps the way things are portrayed deserved more care, however, it is possible to understand the director's intention to leave the viewer to interpret the plot as desired. The production has great performances and is very well built.

La Llorona
"La Llorona" gives a different face to Latin American folklore, since the production brings a horror tale with a historical context - which can be more frightening than any legend. The feature film makes a denunciation of the genocide and indigenous sexual abuse that occurred in the country in the 1980s. And not only that, director Jayro Bustamante also brings a very good approach to sexual and psychological abuse by portraying the story of a family that comes to know the worst side of their father after a trial.In the movie, we follow former general Enrico (Julio Diaz) being accused of having been the mastermind of some of the massacres that occurred during the Guatemalan civil war. The focus here is how his wife, daughter and granddaughter deal with it, using the supernatural as a backdrop. The production brings another type of horror, which mixes Latin legends, historical facts with beautiful cinematography. "La Llorona" is a great example of how Latin American cinema is rich, both in content and execution.
Drama
Raspberries with Mustard
Meeri Ehrlich, 13 years old has three problems. First: She is in love - with the wrong person - and has butterflies in her tummy. Second: Her mother passed away and she misses her a lot. Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
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.
