10 Horas para o Natal
Starring Luis Lobianco ('Carlinhos & Carlão') and Giulia Benite ('Turma da Mônica: Laços'), '10 Hours to Christmas' tells the story of a family that, for the first time, won't be spending Christmas together. After all, the parents have separated and now each one is in their own corner. Thus, the three children of the couple (Benite, Pedro Miranda and Lorena Queiroz) try to "save Christmas as a family". It's an unreal yet enjoyable journey to watch. It lacks a bit of the Brazilianness of 'Tudo Bem no Natal que Vem', for example. But director Cris D'Amato succeeds with a light, simple narrative that entertains anyone -- and with scenes worthy of note, such as an entire sequence filmed at the corner of Ladeira Porto Geral and Rua 25 de Março. It won't change your life, but it will certainly make it lighter.
Double Dad
Maisa Silva makes her feature film debut in partnership with Netflix Brazil. 'Pai em Dobro' is a portrait of a very common story in Brazilian society: paternal absence - which is shown in a less tense way in the production. The actress, who grew up in the eyes of the public, has become a great professional and this is evident - she stands out in the movie even alongside more experienced actors like Eduardo Moscovis and Laila Zaid. 'Pai em Dobro' has a screenplay by Thalita Rebouças, who had a large part of her books adapted to the cinema. This time, she created an original story for the screen and then wrote the novel, which was released in 2020.
A Sogra Perfeita
The plot of 'The Perfect Mother-in-Law' has the essence of the genre in Brazil. Directed by Cris D'Amato, the filmmaker behind films such as 'It's a Fairy' and 'S.O.S. Women to Sea', the feature film tells the story of Neide (Cacau Protásio), owner of a beauty salon who wants her son Fábio Jr. (Luis Navarro) to get married. The suitor that appears on the horizon is the new beauty salon attendant, Ciléia (Polliana Aleixo). Together, they devise a way to bring the young woman into the life of the young man, who only thinks of staying locked in his room playing video games. That's when the plot takes shape and direction, with this story of love coming and going. With Protásio playing a character reminiscent of what was seen in 'Love Tying', in which the actress also plays a conflicted mother-in-law, the humor is familiar to Brazilians. 'The Perfect Mother-in-Law' does not intend to revolutionize the genre, nor to bring something really different. The feature film bets on the basics done correctly, without overdoing it, so that the audience can find an entertaining and harmless pastime.
Someone Borrowed
Netflix has been promoting Brazilian cinema for many years, focusing especially on romantic comedies, with this 'Noiva de Aluguel' as its most recent exponent. Here, humor is built from a tragic situation that exposes the character flaws of the central character before redeeming him. It's the classic learning story, here starring Caio Castro, Danielle Winits and directed by Cris D'Amato, who once again directs a Netflix original movie.
Romance
The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry
'The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry' - A haunted woman named Ida journeys from Germany to Jordan, to an eerie and deserted port town on the Red Sea where her partner, Ismail, recently disappeared. Wandering through desolate bars, hotels, and offices, Ida attempts to feel Ismail’s presence one last time and to say goodbye.
13 Going On 30
Jennifer Garner (Daredevil, TV's "Alias") and Mark Ruffalo (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) star in this hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (Garner) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (Ruffalo). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
