Playing Dead
The movie takes a meta-linguistic start - a movie about the making of a movie - to introduce Jean Renault, an actor who can no longer get big roles in TV and cinema. From there, it builds a surreal story, full of humor and mystery, with a good dash of Agatha Christie. Nearly complete entertainment.

Isabelle Huppert doesn't mess around and in 'La daronne' it's no different. The brilliant French actress stands out in practically all her characters and this comedy is hilarious. Huppert leaves morality aside in this story, which follows a translator who works for the police and ends up getting involved with drug trafficking. This movie is politically incorrect in so many ways that it's wonderful. Can we agree that in comedy almost anything goes? Director Jean-Paul Salomé certainly took this seriously and didn't spare any criticism of society and stereotypes. 'La daronne' is a production that isn't taken seriously and to be enjoyed, it requires viewers to embark on this journey.
Drama
My Fault
An adaptation of the first installment of the successful literary trilogy Culpables, which author Mercedes Ron initially released on the popular Wattpad platform. My Fault follows the tumultuous forbidden relationship between Noah and his stepbrother, Nick. Like many other similar productions aimed at young audiences, this movie features unbelievable situations, tonal shifts, and dialogue as stiff as it is saccharine. Certainly beloved by fans of the original book, but perhaps best avoided by those looking for a more serious drama.
Flamin' Hot
This movie, debuting as director from actress Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), tells one of the most well-known stories of Latinos reaching the "American Dream": Richard Montañez, inventor of the world-famous Flamin' Hot Cheetos. As a biopic, Flamin' Hot is like the titular snack: it may have a lot of calories and little nutritional value, but it's certainly interesting and fun as a story. On the other hand, fans of success stories in business and marketing brought to the screen (like Air: The Story Behind the Logo) will definitely find something they'll like here.
