Why watch this film?
After the success of Lições e Laços, Turma da Mônica returns to audiovisual in a project completely different from the previous one. The cast is no longer the same, Daniel Rezende leaves the direction and the basis of the stories is no longer the classic comic book. In Turma da Mônica Jovem: Reflexos do Medo, we follow the grown-up gang – Cebola no longer changes R for L, Mônica no longer hangs out with Sansão and so on. Directed by Maurício Eça, the story shows this group facing maturity while also coming face to face with a threat: Cabeça de Balde. In an inevitable comparison with the other two films, there is much less innocence and humanity here – which is also why the film is less moving. However, those looking for an adventure full of fantasy, with touches of horror and fantasy, may be rewarded by seeing the Gang on a new journey.

A Garota Invisível
Teen romantic comedies have become one of the pillars of lighthearted and easy-to-watch cinema, with titles like 'Love, Simon', 'The Kissing Booth' and 'She's All That' becoming the main films of the subgenre. However, those who think these youthful productions are only found in American cinema are mistaken. Here in Brazil, they are becoming increasingly frequent and now a heavyweight title is released with 'The Invisible Girl'. Starring Sophia Valverde ('The Adventures of Poliana'), the feature film hits the mark by creating the atmosphere of a school and showing the journey of this young protagonist. Shy and little known at school, she ends up gaining fame at the local after her video, declaring herself to a platonic love, goes viral. It's a light, unpretentious and very funny movie that should bring smiles and sighs to those who watch it.
A Menina que Matou os Pais
Watch 'The Girl Who Killed Her Parents' alongside 'The Boy Who Killed My Parents', both exclusive to Amazon Prime Video, as it dives into a subject that dominated police pages of newspapers in the early 2000s: the brutal murder of Marisia and Manfred von Richthofen by their daughter Suzane and her boyfriend Daniel Cravinhos and his brothers. With Carla Diaz (from the soap opera 'O Clone') embodying the role of the killer, we follow here the version of the two brothers (Leonardo Bittencourt and Allan Souza Lima) about the crime, putting Suzane as a manipulative young woman who devised the whole murder. Although it is a bit undecided in the tone to be used and Diaz is a bit exaggerated in some moments, the feature finally puts Brazil on the route of films that fictionalize real crimes - something that has been done for decades in the United States, with productions such as 'Zodiac', 'Ted Bundy: The Irresistible Face of Evil' and the like. It could be a bit bolder narratively and aesthetically, playing more with the story and the various versions that surround the case, but 'The Girl Who Killed Her Parents' fulfills its role. Special mention to the actors who play Suzane's parents (Leonardo Medeiros and Vera Zimmermann) and the Cravinhos parents (Augusto Madeira and Débora Duboc). They help to complete the movie.
O Menino que Matou Meus Pais
"Watching together with 'The Girl Who Killed Her Parents', both exclusive to Amazon Prime Video, 'The Boy Who Killed My Parents' shows Suzane von Richthofen's version of the crime that stopped the country in the early 2000s: the murder of her parents, Manfred and Marisia, in a crime orchestrated by her and executed by the Cravinhos brothers - with Daniel Cravinhos being her boyfriend. Compared to the other movie, with the Cravinhos' version, Carla Diaz gets the tone right, appearing more believable with her character so ingrained in the Brazilian popular imagination. Even though it is still a bit undecided in tone and even too rushed, complementing little of the information from the other feature film, 'The Boy Who Killed My Parents' finally puts Brazil on the route of films that fictionalize real crimes - something that has been done for decades in the United States, with productions such as 'Zodiac', 'Ted Bundy: The Irresistible Face of Evil' and the like. It could be a bit bolder narratively and aesthetically, playing more with the story and the various versions that surround the case, but 'The Girl Who Killed Her Parents' fulfills its role. Highlight for the actors who play Suzane's parents (Leonardo Medeiros and Vera Zimmermann) and the Cravinhos' parents (Augusto Madeira and Débora Duboc). They help to complete the movie, even more in this version of Suzane."
Time to Shine
This movie, focused on the children and young adult audience, brings an important message, especially for pre-teens: when feeling secure, it's time to rely on your friendships. From there, 'Hora de Brilhar' tells an interesting story about overcoming, within the world of music, by showing the journey of Ariana (Sophia Valverde), this teenager who is going through a moment of transformation in her life. With good musical numbers and a cast full of stars (Mharessa Fernanda, Matheus Ueta, Duda Pimenta, Bia Jordão), the feature film talks to the children and young adult audience and also serves as a good lesson to reflect on self-confidence and perseverance.

Barraco de Família
Barraco de Família is one of those movies that proves all moms are the same, yet different. It's hard not to relate. While Minha Mãe é uma Peça brought us Dona Hermínia (Paulo Gustavo) as a big-hearted Rio mom, this comedic film stars Cacau Protásio as the matriarch of a typical suburban family from São Paulo. The similarities between the two works don't stop there: the new movie with Cacau Protásio portrays the everyday life and adventures of this family—from the fights, blunders, and cancel culture, to the moments of motherly love, friendship, partying, and dancing. Betting on representation and roots, with a mostly black cast, Barraco de Família also features singer Lellê as Kéllen, the typical rebellious daughter of Cleide (Cacau), in addition to appearances by Sandra de Sá and Péricles. Get ready for some good laughs!
Adventure
Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
'Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia' - In the follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, the duo returns to Ernest's home in Gibberitia, a land known for its musicians. But Ernest and Celestine soon discover that music has been banned and it is up to them to restore it.
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
