Why watch this film?
Directed and starring Mélanie Laurent (Oxygen) and Adèle Exarchopoulos (The Five Devils), Wingwomen is a fun French crime comedy about a group of friends and formidable thieves who, tired of their life of crime, decide to pull off one last heist before retiring, although things don't go as planned. The Netflix original film doesn't bring anything new to the genre and even falls into several clichés. However, thanks to the excellent performances of its leads, it's a very entertaining and enjoyable production, whether you're a fan of these actresses or French cinema.

Breathe
A true analysis of conflicts between teenagers including pain, friendship, bullying, and love. However, this is done in a deep way, without staying on the superficiality common to teen movies. Growing up isn't easy, and 'Respire' is a faithful portrait of this stage.
The Mad Women's Ball
Interesting movie about the cruel treatment women have been receiving since the world began. We know how misogynistic society is and this movie gives a good brushstroke of it in the 19th century. Based on Victoria Mas' book and directed by Mélanie Laurent, who also stars in the feature, we see the importance of such a story being adapted by a female mind. Laurent may still be known as just the woman who takes revenge on Hitler in 'Inglourious Basterds', but her importance in cinema goes beyond that. This is the sixth movie she acts as director and, after a 10-year pause, she shows how well she can exercise this function. 'The Mad Women's Ball' is a strong, heartbreaking and extremely raw portrayal of what it is to be a woman. At the same time it manages to be cruel, it doesn't fail to be banal. In the end, we are aware of everything the production denounces, but we simply close our eyes to most of it - this doesn't just refer to machismo, but to other sensitive topics such as prejudice, for example. Laurent is honest but also delicate when approaching the female universe.
Galveston
Mélanie Laurent (Shosanna from 'Inglourious Basterds') directs a mix of action and drama with a cast of talented names, including Elle Fanning ('Maleficent') and Ben Foster ('Hell or High Water'). The story is based on the book by Nic Pizzolatto, creator of the 'True Detective' series, and takes place in Galveston, Texas, where a young girl is held captive and manages to escape with the help of a hitman, initiating a complicated relationship in which both must exorcise their pasts. The result is an intense and well-acted feature film.
