Why watch this film?
Who doesn't have a friend who was stuck in the past, having difficulty accepting that we all need to grow and open up to new possibilities and opportunities? In 'Dissonantes' this is the case of Paulo (Marcelo Serrado), a 45-year-old man trying to live his dream of making the music he likes, but self-pressure, self-pity and Peter Pan syndrome don't allow it. He, however, finds himself involved with Loly (Thati Lopes), who seeks to win a highly commercial music reality show. From there, the feature film directed by Pedro Amorim ('Mato Sem Cachorro') builds a dramedy that addresses this late maturity, which makes us reflect on our own conceptions and thoughts. Could it be that, apart from exaggeration, we are not a little like Paulo and don't get out of the way, seeing life pass by while complaining? Or, at the other extreme, are we not in Loly's place, losing our essence by being only what others want? What is the middle of the road? Well executed technically and with good direction from Amorim, the movie ends up skidding in the script - mainly in the way it portrays the flaws of Serrado's character. Still, it is an interesting story about loss, love and music.

Plot summary
Paulo is a guitar player who was successful in the 90s and has lived since then in the illusion of recording the perfect record. He is completely grounded when Clara, his wife, abandons him - it's impossible to think about a future next to someone who stopped in the past. Alone and broke, Paulo is forced to rent his studio to Loly, the pupil of his former musical partner. Paulo's exposure to Hurricane Loly, the conflict that her convictions cause, and the boiling of this clash of generations will drive Paulo to the extreme of rethinking his entire life, not without a number of dissonant chords and lots of laughter.

Carlinhos e Carlão
What a surprise is "Carlinhos & Carlão", an original, necessary and refreshing national comedy with the exclusive seal of Amazon Prime Video. Starring an inspired Luis Lobianco (from "Porta dos Fundos"), the feature film tells the story of a macho and homophobic man who ends up being enchanted by a closet. And what happens is that every day, from 7 pm, he turns into Carlinhos, a happy, cheerful, fun and... gay man. Despite dealing with sensitive and urgent issues, "Carlinhos & Carlão" manages to bring a pleasant lightness while making people laugh. The memorable soundtrack, with songs from Gretchen and "I Will Survive", set the tone, despite the obviousness. But Lobianco, with lightness and brilliance, manages to move between the characters with humor and strength. A movie to laugh, of course, but also to think about some important paths for society.

Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.

Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
