42
In 1947, Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson became the first African American player in Major League Baseball, the main league of the sport in the United States - breaking down prejudice and segregation that existed in baseball, becoming one of its greatest idols. In '42', Chadwick Boseman brings to life the athlete and does an excellent job. The feature film only recounts a small part of the protagonist's life, but it is still his most important moment: when he emerges in the minor leagues and has his first year of MLB. A very inspiring and moving movie.
A Knight's Tale
Viewed with modern eyes, A Knight's Tale is the kind of movie that, thanks to its truly innocent ambition and perfect cast, manages to transcend all its clichés and flaws to become a modern classic. The movie tells the story of William Thatcher (the already legendary Heath Ledger in one of his most beloved performances), a peasant who, with his enormous talent for jousting, manages to pass himself off as a knight among the nobles, fighting to make his place in history. Its mix of anachronistic pop references and its idealized vision of the medieval era wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but that's precisely what has given it its enduring charm, in an age where movies are becoming increasingly complicated and less innocent. In other words: if you like simpler times medieval movies, here you'll find a 21st century production that fits the description perfectly (except, of course, for the use of a soundtrack with rock classics, like Queen's "We Will Rock You" or David Bowie's "Golden Years").
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.
Baby
