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.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
