Trailer
Why watch this film?
Surprisingly entertaining movie about a taxi driver who steals a painting from the National Gallery in London. Starring Oscar winners Helen Mirren ('The Queen') and Jim Broadbent ('Game of Thrones'), 'The Duke' is charming and both actors perform their roles very well - perhaps too well. Despite the humor being particularly British, it's effective comedy with messages about social justice that are quite relevant, even though the story is set in the 1960s. The movie has a great pace, keeping the narrative moving and not worrying about unnecessary details.

Tea With the Dames
'Tea with the Dames' is exactly what its title suggests, an intimate chat with lots of tea between the great dames of British drama: Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith. They reminisce about moments in their careers, how they met and curiosities of their trajectories. Directed by Roger Mitchell, of 'Notting Hill', everything is conducted with the necessary lightness to turn the meeting of four great friends into a documentary that entertains the viewer. The result is a valuable narrative for the fans of these great actresses and, of course, for cinema fans in general.

A Weekend in Paris
A bittersweet and sarcastic love story about a couple who, 30 years after their union, return to Paris. There, they are forced to confront that time has passed - but also to rediscover what they had in the beginning. An intelligent film, with one of the most beautiful cities in the world as its backdrop.

My Cousin Rachel
, ao mesmo tempo em que não compromete nenhum dos gêneros.With beautiful photography and a great performance by Rachel Weisz, the movie adapts the 1951 book of the same name, which had already been turned into a movie in 1952. One of the merits of the story is that it manages to combine drama, suspense, and romance, without compromising any of the genres.

Blackbird
A truly touching movie. Some may blame it for being too "in your face", but it still deeply moves you, as it makes you wonder how it would be possible to deal with a situation like this. And the more you think about it, the more it depresses you. But in a good way. After all, the movie's story really challenges you morally and, along with that, tells a great story about love and family bond. The acting is excellent. Susan Sarandon finally gets to appear in a big role again and she really nails it. She adds a lot of sarcasm to it, which helps make her character appealing and convincing, especially considering the struggle that lies within her. Kate Winslet is very light here with some very good moments that build up her character well.

Notting Hill
A great classic of romantic comedies from the late 1990s, about a common Brit with a pacific life in Notting Hill, London's neighbourhood, who ends up getting involved with a famous Hollywood actress - and has his life turned upside down. With a round script and impeccable performances by Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, it's a movie for the eternal lovers.

![Outsider Girls](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/cRSp4H/thumb/outsider-girls_gfUGunI.jpeg)
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](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/mc4yPG/thumb/problemista_fqYJkEg.jpeg)
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.
