Why watch this film?
Telling the untold story of one of the most beloved characters from 'Star Wars', in the 19-year gap between 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' and 'Star Wars: A New Hope', Disney+'s series 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' was destined to be a success. Furthermore, the production brought back the actor who portrayed the character in the prequels, Ewan McGregor, alongside his Anakin Skywalker of the time, Hayden Christensen. In other words, the series sought to continue the franchise's huge legacy while telling a new story within the canon. Whether it succeeded or not is debatable, but it is true that it was a huge task to bring together the spirits of two 'Star Wars' trilogies, respecting what is already established and known by fans. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return' is a documentary that narrates the whole process, with testimonies from McGregor and Christensen, but also from new cast members such as Moses Ingram and director Deborah Chow, who recount their connection with the iconic saga and their visions for their characters. If the series didn't interest you much, don't stop to watch the documentary. However, if you are a 'Star Wars' fan and like 'Obi-Wan Kenobi', this production will be a great complement for you.

Wolfgang
Disney's original documentary about Wolfgang Johannes Puck, an Austrian chef and entrepreneur in Los Angeles. He is well known in the United States for working with celebrities and having his own TV show. The production shows his entire journey, which is quite emotional. Directed by David Gelb, 'Wolfgang' has beautiful cinematography and an engaging script that makes us want to know more about the chef.
Stan Lee
Created to commemorate the centenary of Stan Lee's birth (which took place in 2022), this is a biographical documentary that traces the life, career and legacy of the world's most famous comic book writer in his own words. Directed by David Gieb (Wolfgang: A Legendary Chef), Stan Lee: A Centennial Legend draws on archival material with interviews, movie clips and intimate home videos to reconstruct Lee's story, his inspirations and motivations. It's a bit idealistic and could delve deeper into his more controversial facets. But Marvel fans and comic book aficionados alike will very much enjoy it.
Documentary
Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only
Follow these two comedy icons behind the scenes throughout a tour that will follow the couple as they tell firsthand accounts of their early lives, their struggles, their triumphs, and their brotherhood.
The Eternal Memory
Walking a thin line between documentary and fiction with The Mole Agent, Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi has demonstrated an impressive sensitivity and compassion in approaching subjects dealing with end-of-life illnesses. The Eternal Memory is no different. This documentary delves into the intimacy of journalist Augusto Góngora and his wife, Paulina Urrutia. He, however, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eight years ago, and they now live with tenderness and patience, but fearing the day when he will no longer recognize her. The story is not only devastating – in the best sense of the word – for its inherent drama but is also an essay on memory itself and its fragility, as well as on the role of cinema as a document to preserve historical memory and raise awareness about the disease.
Every Body
Focuses on three individuals who overcame shame, secrecy, and unauthorized surgery during childhood to enjoy successful adult lives. Choosing to ignore medical recommendations to hide their bodies.
