I'm a Girl, I'm a Princess (2022)
I'm a Girl, I'm a Princess
”A mother struggles to understand and support her trans daughter in a society full of prejudice.”
Why watch this film?
Argentine movie based on the true story of Mónica Gabriela Mansilla, mother of twins who discovered that one of them, Luana, did not identify with the male gender assigned to her at birth. 'Yo nena, Yo princesa' tells the process through which Mansilla, her trans daughter, and the father of her children dealt with the discovery of the girl's identity, with all the prejudices, frustrations, and conflicts it brought, both within and outside the family. The execution is melodramatic and unsubtle in many moments, which detracts from the impact of a story that, however, is important to know.

Drama
Society of the Snow
On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to take a rugby team to Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes.
The Book of Wonders
A beautiful French production that deals with a profound theme in an accessible and sincere manner. The Book of Wonders tells the story of a woman (Alexandra Lamy) whose 12-year-old son falls into a coma. The mother embarks on a journey to fulfill adventures on the wish list as a way to cope with the loss and also to show the beauty of the world. Like any movie of this kind, it has its clichés, but if you're looking for something to warm your heart, this is an excellent choice.
Maestro
When you sit down to watch Maestro, it's natural to expect a biographical film about Leonard Bernstein, the talented and complex conductor portrayed by Bradley Cooper – who also directs. However, what unfolds in the plot is not something like a typical biopic, but rather a nuanced film about the love between Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan). Slow and contemplative, the feature avoids the pitfalls of turning this story into a melodrama in the style of Marriage Story, subtly presenting the emotions. On the contrary, Cooper leaves much implied so that we, the audience, can feel what is happening and not just observe. Therefore, it's a film that demands a lot from the audience, requiring them to engage with the concept and not find it merely monotonous.
NAGA
