Why watch this film?
Imagine The Godfather, with all its intricate mafia situations, family complications, and all that - including murders for revenge. Now, switch out Marlon Brando's figure for Toni Colette (Hereditary) playing a character who has no idea how Italian mafia works. That's the essence of Mafia Mamma, the feature film by the unpredictable filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Miss Bala). Here, however, she hits the right notes in humor as she tells the story of an ordinary woman (Colette) who is called to her grandfather's funeral and, out of the blue, finds out she has become the great heiress of the Italian mafia. It's a typical comedy of errors, set in a vibrant Italy, with situations that I'm sure will make you laugh out loud - I, at least, laughed a lot. It's mainly worth it for Colette, who is so inspired on screen.

Miss Bala
This is the Hollywood remake of the Mexican film of the same name, directed by Gerardo Naranjo. The American version delivers everything you expect from an action blockbuster: explosions, fights, and fast-paced editing. Special mention goes to the great work of the cast, particularly Gina Rodriguez ("Jane the Virgin") and Anthony Mackie (Marvel Studios' Falcon).
Twilight
O último livro da saga, ‘Amanhecer’ foi dividido em dois filmes para os fãs não se despedirem tão rápido da história. Como nos outros volumes da saga, a trilha sonora segue como um dos grandes destaques. No quarto filme, o Brasil é o destino dos protagonistas em lua-de-mel -- sim, a Bella finalmente consegue se casar com seu grande amor. O romance deles sofrerá novamente, mas, dessa vez, com a gravidez da personagem. O bebê, meio humano, meio vampiro, está sugando a vida da mãe, mas ela não quer interromper a gestação de forma alguma. O desfecho é bem envolvente, deixando muita curiosidade para o capítulo final de ‘A Saga Crepúsculo’. Ainda assim, é válido analisar que esse é um dos filmes mais conversadores da franquia - o que foi motivo de críticas. A personagem principal é submissa ao seu marido e isso acaba sendo extremamente problemático no desenrolar da história. O mesmo acontece no livro escrito por Stephenie Meyer, vale dizer.
Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
