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
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
