Why watch this film?
Substitute the title 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody: A História de Whitney Houston' with 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'. Translate the following text into US English:Although it is a rather square biopic for a figure of the stature of Whitney Houston, 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' is a refreshing treat for the singer's fans. It not only speaks of the most important issues in the life of the North American, such as drug addiction, criticism from the black community and her relationship with her father and husband, but also celebrates all the good that Houston has done. All the incredible numbers she has beaten, all the vocal strength and so on. In addition, Naomi Ackie ('Lady Macbeth') is well on stage and, despite some slips with exaggeration of mannerisms, knows how to live The Voice on the big screen. Could it be a more creative movie, like 'Elvis' or 'Rocketman'? Without a doubt. It approaches, in the end, more of the formula of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. But still, it moves.Substitute the title 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody: A História de Whitney Houston' with 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'.

Harriet
History often does not do justice to the most important African American figures in the United States, and the case of Harriet Tubman is just one of many that have not received the deserved representation in pop culture. That's why 'Harriet' is only the first cinematic production intended for the big screen and entirely dedicated to the political and abolitionist activist. As is usually the case with biographical dramas, this feature film directed by filmmaker and actress Kasi Lemmons ('Eve's Bayou') does not lack melodramatic clichés of the genre. However, Cynthia Erivo ('Widows') is phenomenal in the title role, earning one of the two Oscar nominations for the film (the second was for the original song 'Stand Up'). Perfect for those who like inspiring stories.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
