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.
Adventure
We Lost Our Human
This is a fun, interactive Netflix special (in the same vein as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend), with an animation style reminiscent of cartoons like The Amazing World of Gumball or Steven Universe. The premise of We Lost Our Human is eccentric: two spoiled pets are the only ones who can travel to the center of the universe to fix a technical glitch that has made humans disappear. Like other Netflix interactive specials, the viewer only has to choose between different paths at certain times, resulting in different versions of the story.
The Magician's Elephant
Follows Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister. When he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, he want to know, is his sister still alive? To get the answer, he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting Peter off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change the face of his town.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Based on the homonymous illustrated book by Charlie Mackesy, 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' is a beautiful animated short film exclusive to Apple TV+. Through art direction that looks like an animated watercolor - imitating the style of the book -, the film tells the simple story of empathy and friendship between the four title characters. Beautiful and totally appropriate for children, although it will certainly warm the heart of even the toughest adult.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Sequel to the 2019 film, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' starts differently. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is now a teenager, nearing adulthood, who can transform into a superhero (Levi) when he invokes a sort of mystical power. Now, however, he is not alone: his foster siblings also share the power and begin to defend the city of Philadelphia, in the United States, from villains. This is the case with three Greek gods (Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu) who threaten the superhero family by facing other strong mystical powers. The film doesn't have the brilliance of DC's "independent" productions like 'Batman' and 'Joker', but it's also far from being a disaster like 'Batman v. Superman', 'Justice League', and even 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The film has a certain freshness, similar to that seen in Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'. Like in the first feature, director David F. Sandberg ('Lights Out') knows that Shazam's story cannot be as grand as Batman's journey on the big screen, for example, or Superman's. He needs to focus on the little, on the closeness of these heroes who are actually teenagers experiencing almost magical powers. That's where the fun and the difference of the film lies, which doesn't take itself too seriously and therefore doesn't make any commitment to the viewer to be grand or opulent. It goes straight to the point, being its main virtue and making the experience the most enjoyable possible in the end.
