Why watch this film?
Today, everyone and their grandparents have played Tetris or at least heard about the famous video game, one of the most popular in history and still current. However, few know the story behind it, a curious trajectory that runs parallel to the technological and political career between capitalist and communist blocs during the Cold War. Tetris, exclusive to Apple TV+ starring Taron Egerton (Rocketman) is a film inspired by this story, and even though it takes some creative liberties to move towards the terrain of the political thriller, it's quite enjoyable. Its focus on Henk Rogers' (Egerton) perspective as the "trailblazer" of Tetris doesn't always work, but if you want to learn more about this peculiar story, it's a good starting point.

From the same director
Stan & Ollie
Stanley "Stan" Laurel and Oliver "Ollie" Hardy formed one of the greatest comedy duos in history, which, in the world of cinema, can only be equated in size to the success of The Three Stooges. Laurel and Hardy - or the Fat and the Lean, as they became known in Brazil - started in silent films, entering the talkies and the Golden Age of the seventh art. This feature film adapts the final phase of their career, already in the 1950s, and is a nostalgic tribute to the legacy of the duo, but without failing to entertain the viewer. Special mention for the excellent performance of the protagonists, Steve Coogan ('Philomena') and John C. Reilly ('Chicago'). Reilly even received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in the feature. In Brazil, 'Stan and Ollie' premieres directly on streaming.
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.
