Why watch this film?
It's curious how the troubled backstage of 'Don't Worry Darling' has slowly become more interesting and talked about than the movie itself. And it's sad too. After all, the feature film is a competent production that gracefully achieves the quality of a feminist and modern dystopia. Directed by Olivia Wilde ('Booksmart'), the feature film tells the story of a strange 1950s community, where a woman (Florence Pugh, absolutely brilliant) begins to question everything around her and the reality in which she lives, as well as her husband (Harry Styles). It's a movie with a strong social commentary, about oppression and the role of women. The weakest point of the feature film, unfortunately, is the idea. The script, signed by the trio Katie Silberman, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke, starts from the essence of Plato's cave myth, where people live in a world of shadows until they question what lies behind it. Something already beaten, very explored. In addition, Harry Styles is not well on screen and, when necessary, he cannot reach the necessary dramatic climax. However, there are some interesting elements. First and above all: Florence Pugh. The actress is a sensation, an event. Even in moments that the script does not favor her, she manages to find a way to shine. In addition, although much of the film skates because of this obvious and beaten base, the last 30 minutes are exciting. After all, it is there that Olivia Wilde finds space to leave the audience tense. Even though everyone knows how things unfold, the filmmaker and the script can go anywhere in the last second. It can be life or death, joy or sadness; celebration or mourning. And that's where 'Don't Worry Darling' shows its power, its strength and how, despite everything, it is a good feature film.

Booksmart
What happens when the school nerds decide to break all the rules? That's the hook for 'Booksmart', a coming-of-age comedy directed by newcomer Olivia Wilde (whom you may know from movies like 'Tron: Legacy'). Here, she joins the writers of 'Love, Simon' and 'My Spy' in an almost all-female production team. Because of this, the story overflows with authenticity and freshness, entertaining in a subgenre that already seemed saturated - and receiving many praises from critics. In general, the humor may seem too American for Brazilians, but it will certainly resonate with those more identified with US culture.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
