Why watch this film?
Every Christmas without fail, Jackie sends out a holiday newsletter that makes her old college friend Charlotte feel bad. When a twist of fate lands Charlotte, her husband Rob and her family on the doorstep of Jackie and her husband Valentino just days before Christmas, Charlotte seizes the opportunity to prove that her old friend's "perfect" life can't be so perfect. But in her overzealous attempt to expose Jackie, Charlotte nearly ruins Christmas. Best. Christmas. Ever! is, therefore, another typical Christmas story about friendship, union and fraternization, with a beautiful message at the end that helps us get into the long-awaited Christmas spirit.

Pet Sematary Two
Although also directed by Mary Lambert, this 'Pet Sematary Two' sequel is not based on a Stephen King novel, unlike its predecessor. Furthermore, for obvious reasons, the characters from the first installment do not return for this second one, so aside from vague mentions of its events and the Creed family, there are few arguments to call it a legitimate sequel, besides the interest in taking advantage of the modest success of the title. This is a mediocre movie, but it was the second one made by young Edward Furlong after his debut in 'Terminator 2'. Fun, finally, for those interested in the career of the also protagonist of 'American History X' and 'Detroit Rock City'.
A Castle for Christmas
Brooke Shields, of classics such as 'The Blue Lagoon', returns to romantic comedies in this Christmas movie. 'A Castle for Christmas' tells the story of a writer (Shields) who travels to Scotland to escape from a scandal and ends up being enchanted by a beautiful castle. What she didn't expect was that the owner would interfere more with her life than the property. This is a pretty, pleasant production and great to start the Christmas season. The feature has direction by Mary Lambert, known for horror films such as the original version of 'Pet Sematary'.
Pet Sematary
Let's be honest: 'Pet Sematary' is not exactly a good adaptation of Stephen King's book - and it hardly qualifies as a good horror movie. However, it is one of the author's most well-known novels and, for better or worse, the film has gained a cult status due to its weirdness and because, for thirty years, it was the only adaptation of this novel to the screen. Another point that contributed was the Ramones' song, 'Pet Sematary', specially composed for the feature - and which at the time, believe it or not, was nominated for the Golden Raspberry for Worst Original Song. Don't let the fans of Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky know about this...
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
Club Zero is a film with a risky proposition: to understand how young people, especially those of Generation Z, dive headfirst into new trends to feel like they belong to something. But at what cost? That's what this complicated film by Jessica Hausner (Little Joe) seeks to understand. Complicated, not because it has any complexity, but because it tackles a thorny issue (this particular behavior) and further complicates it by addressing eating disorders, with young people stopping eating for the sake of a better world. With not much material to discuss, the film ends up going in circles and dangerously falling into emptiness. However, Hausner still manages to find some space to reflect on where the world is heading and, above all, where this dangerous herd behavior is taking us — something that, ultimately, the film itself ends up embracing by adhering to trends reminiscent of Wes Anderson's style and Greek cinema aesthetics.
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.
