Why watch this film?
The new Filipino production directed by filmmaker Marla Ancheta, whose filmography is full of Netflix originals (her previous film also premiered exclusively on the platform). 'Doll House' tells the story of a rock singer who hits rock bottom when a friend dies of an overdose - and he decides to go back to his hometown to reconnect with the daughter he had abandoned. This family drama reflects on second chances, but also on the consequences that will sooner or later have to be faced for mistakes made in the past. The protagonist is played by Beron Geisler, who presents an excellent chemistry with the little Althea Ruedas. The father-daughter relationship, approached from the point of view of friendship, makes this movie an emotional journey.

Finding Agnes
Don't be fooled: despite the label of a sensitive and delicate movie, 'Finding Agnes' is one of the poorest aesthetically and narratively productions from Netflix in 2020. After all, director Marla Ancheta takes advantage of countless clichés, easy solutions and one-dimensional characters to tell the story of a son searching for his mother's memories, who abandoned him when he was very young. However, despite being a really fragile production in terms of technique, there is heart in what is told. And this reflects in an urgent sentimentality that arises there from the last thirty minutes and ends up making the movie, as a whole, gain traction. It's not good. But it can still be a good feature film to get emotional, shed some tears and reflect on oneself.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
