T2: Trainspotting
After 20 years since the first 'Trainspotting', we return to this universe and meet the same characters again. And if back then we had a realistic story about the youth of Edinburgh, today we have a true character study with people trying to reconcile with their tumultuous past and friends that were left behind. A perfect ending for those stories.
Sunshine
Many science fiction films deal with the end of humanity by our own hand: a nuclear holocaust, a scientific disaster, an endless war or the revolt of machines created by us. 'Sunshine: Solar Alert' does so from the inevitable: the eventual extinction of the sun. On top of that, this underrated film directed by Danny Boyle ('Trainspotting') and written by Alex Garland also has very good and well thought out action sequences. Think of something like 'Armageddon', but much less silly.
Steve Jobs
Directed by Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting") and written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network"), "Steve Jobs" is a satisfying biopic of the controversial mogul and Apple founder. Structured in three parts corresponding to three major brand launches, the movie further explores Jobs' personal life, sacrificed for his work. Winner of two Oscars: Best Actor for Michael Fassbender and Best Supporting Actress for Kate Winslet.
Slumdog Millionaire
"Slumdog Millionaire" swept the Oscars, winning awards in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Original Song and Best Sound Mixing. And it's no wonder. Directed by Danny Boyle (of the classic "Trainspotting: No Limits"), this movie brings the excitement of a quiz show to the big screen with an emotional punch. After all, more than just showing the program and its backstage, the film is clever in diving into the life of an ordinary Indian boy played by Dev Patel ("Lion"). There is a formula used here that tries to emotionally move the audience at any cost and this can bother some people. However, if you embark on Boyle's proposal and identify with Jamal Malik's story in any way, you will find a delicate, light and exciting film. After all, more than telling the story of any participant in a "Millionaire Show" style program, the feature film talks about people. And here, in this case, a person who is hard not to sympathize with, cheer for and be enchanted by.
Trainspotting
A hard-hitting yet darkly humorous account of mid-1990s Scotland's disaffected youth. Directed by Danny Boyle (who would later go on to win an Oscar with 'Slumdog Millionaire'), the film marked a turning point for tackling lost youth in a memorable way.
Yesterday
What if you woke up one day in a world where there was no Coca-Cola or the Beatles? Besides having to resort to Pepsi, you would be seen as a music genius when you hummed the beautiful and now unknown songs of the Fab Four. That is the crazy premise of 'Yesterday', a beautiful movie by director Danny Boyle ('Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?') starring Himesh Patel and Lily James ('Cinderella', 'Baby Driver'). Set to songs like "Let It Be", "She Loves You", "Hey Jude", "Something" and, of course, "Yesterday", the feature film was made just right to make us feel good, the famous "feel good movie". Although it does not innovate or deliver anything surprising, it fulfills its main function: to improve our day.
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
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
