Why watch this film?
Faced with the unenviable challenge of trying to produce a work of wit and heart within the confines of a corporate intellectual property as large as Mattel's Barbie doll, director and co-writer Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) generally comes out on top. Drawing on inspirations as diverse as The Wizard of Oz and The Truman Show, the iconic doll's cinematic debut is a fun comedy that follows a Barbie (Margot Robbie) who must travel to the real world to discover what is making her imperfect in utopian Barbieland. However, she soon discovers that the invention of the Barbie dolls has not been the feminist panacea they themselves imagined, and that the real world is quite the opposite of what they live in their utopian world. Funny, clever and with incisive comments about patriarchy, it is an entertaining popcorn proposal that almost (ALMOST!) makes us forget that it is a huge commercial for Mattel.

Lady Bird
'Lady Bird: A Hora de Voar' deals with a delicate subject, that is the relationship between mother and daughter. Not only that, but also themes such as friendship, sexuality, maturity, addressing all issues of adolescence. It's a beautiful, touching and humorous story. Actresses Laurie Metcalf and Saoirse Ronan manage to convey all the feeling of a troubled relationship to the movie. It is worth saying that Greta Gerwig achieved a lot of recognition, being nominated for the Oscar for Best Director with this, which is only her second feature film.

Little Women
'Little Women', by Louisa May Alcott, is a classic of American literature, read by generations and generations of girls since its release in 1861. There have also been several adaptations for cinema and TV. Here, we have the version of director Greta Gerwig (from 'Lady Bird: A Hora de Voar'), which brought together a star-studded cast: Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep, as well as appearances by Timothée Chalamalet (from 'Call Me By Your Name') Bob Odenking ('Breaking Bad') and Louis Garrel ('The Formidable'), among others. The result is a film full of soul, romance, lightness and great performances (especially Saoirse, for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe), in a story that moves us from the small facts of everyday life. It is worth noting that Greta (who also signs the adapted screenplay) adopted a non-linear path to tell the story, which differs from the book - and which requires more attention from the viewer to understand the different passages of time. That's why the way we know the story of the March family and their young women happens differently from previous versions. Highlights include the excellent period reconstruction, including costumes and sets, and also the beautiful photography, signed by Yorick Le Saux (from 'Eternal Lovers' and 'Above the Clouds'). The original soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat (Oscar winner for 'The Shape of Water') jumps to the ears.

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.
