Why watch this film?
There is a very specific type of movie that always reappears: one that speaks of relatives who come together because of the desire of someone who has just died. This is the case of "Raymond & Ray," an exclusive Apple TV+ movie directed by Colombian Rodrigo García ("Last Days in the Desert," "Albert Nobbs"). The story follows the journey of half-brothers Raymond (Ewan McGregor) and Ray (Ethan Hawke) as they reunite when their absent father dies and discover that his last wish was for them to dig his grave. Together, they reflect on life and society, bringing up discussions that García has shown he knows how to do—still with strong and natural performances from McGregor and Hawke.

Four Good Days
Starring the great actresses Glenn Close and Mila Kunis, 'Four Good Days' tells the story of Deb (Close), a mother who is helping her daughter Molly (Kunis) in the process of recovering from drug abuse. This time they spend together after a long distance revives past wounds, but also creates the opportunity to reactivate the love between mother and daughter. The interesting thing about the movie is to observe the actress Mila Kunis fleeing from her usual Hollywood roles, playing the risky and challenging role of a heroin addict, she does very well and is the highlight of the movie. In addition to her, we also have an incredible performance from one of the great actresses in the history of cinema, Glenn Close, who in itself dispenses presentations. Both share the screen magnificently together with the touching story.
Family
Director of films such as "Albert Nobbs," "Four Good Days," and the series "Evita," "Familia" is the first Spanish-language feature film by filmmaker Rodrigo García (son of the acclaimed writer Gabriel García Márquez). The story follows a family gathering at their father Leo's ranch (Daniel Giménez Cacho, "Bardo") for a meal, but the conflict revolves around his three daughters (Natalia Solián, Ilse Salas, and Cassandra Ciangherotti) when they receive news that a buyer has made a good offer for the ranch. Thus, the daughters have a few days to decide whether to sell their legacy, the place where they grew up and that holds the memories of their late mother. "Familia" is, therefore, a somewhat typical slice-of-life drama, with an occasionally uneven script, but it is elevated by the performances of its excellent main cast.
