Why watch this film?
Directed by Bobby Moresco, the Oscar-winning writer of Crash, Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend is inspired by the story of Ferruccio Lamborghini, the farmer who would eventually become the head of one of the world's most prestigious luxury sports car brands. With a strong leading performance by Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), the film, in a very similar vein to Ford v Ferrari, tells an inspiring automotive world story about not giving up in the pursuit of our dreams, even in the face of the greatest adversities. The movie also features outstanding performances by Mira Sorvino and Gabriel Byrne in the role of Enzo Ferrari.

Bent
Starring the trio Andy Garcia (from 'Ocean's Eleven'), Karl Urban (from the series 'The Boys') and Sofía Vergara (the eternal Gloria from 'Modern Family'), 'Bent' is one of those police movies made to measure for genre fans. After all, all the elements that were successful with the audience are here: there is conspiracy, intertwined plots, characters being deceived, "fatal women". However, it is interesting to see how debut director Bobby Moresco (producer of the movie 'Crash: On the Edge') works with these formulas of police cinema in a low-budget production. There are more dialogues, more reflective moments, more silences. So, it is necessary to watch the movie ready for a different experience, which joins almost dissonant elements of "big cinema". And it is worth paying attention to the performance of Garcia, who manages to extract good moments even with a little developed character; and Vergara, impeccable in moments of explosion.
Drama
Raspberries with Mustard
Meeri Ehrlich, 13 years old has three problems. First: She is in love - with the wrong person - and has butterflies in her tummy. Second: Her mother passed away and she misses her a lot. Third: her father - owner of a funeral home - is looking for a new partner. But Meeri has something that is only hers, something very special - she can fly.
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
