Why watch this film?
If you've ever thought that 'Romeo and Juliet' is a very stupid story, you'd get along great with the creative team behind this movie. 'Rosaline' is a retelling of Shakespeare's classic directed by Karen Maine (of the great 'Yes, God, Yes') that mocks all the precepts of romantic love that have been created and universally immortalized by literary tragedy - and even replicated by typical romantic comedies of our day. The movie doesn't always hit the mark and sometimes even contradicts itself. Nevertheless, Maine's direction is efficient and the cast will make you laugh out loud, with special mention to the always excellent Kaitlyn Dever ('Booksmart') as Rosaline and Isabela Merced ('Dora and the Lost City') as Juliet.

Yes, God, Yes
One of the coolest and most sincere films of 2020, 'Yes, God, Yes' already provokes with its title. After all, the 78-minute feature hits the mark when it tells the story of a girl who is discovering her sexuality. However, the place for this apparently could not be worse: a religious retreat for teenagers. Little by little, however, debut director and screenwriter Karen Maine adds small tasty lines to the plot, showing how sexuality ends up affecting everyone, at different levels and intensities. Highlight for the protagonist Natalia Dyer ('Stranger Things'), who faces this so typical role of American independent cinema with naturalness.

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
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.
