The Good Liar
From director Bill Condon ('Chicago', 'Beauty and the Beast'), 'The Good Liar' is a traditional thriller based on the contemporary premise of online dating and frauds. It's not a particularly innovative movie in its genre, but the script is undoubtedly clever, albeit with some inconsistencies. However, it's easy to forgive any mistake for the true titans duel we have on screen: Sir Ian McKellen ('The Lord of the Rings') and Helen Mirren ('The Queen'), two veteran acting legends together for the first time in a feature film.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
The last book of the saga, 'Breaking Dawn', was split into two movies for fans not to say goodbye so quickly from the story. As in the other volumes of the saga, the soundtrack follows as one of the great highlights. In the fourth movie, Brazil is the destination of the protagonists on their honeymoon - yes, Bella finally manages to marry her great love. Their romance will suffer again, but this time with the character's pregnancy. The baby, half human, half vampire, is sucking the life out of the mother, but she does not want to interrupt the gestation in any way. The outcome is quite engaging, leaving a lot of curiosity for the final chapter of 'The Twilight Saga'. Still, it is valid to analyze that this is one of the most conservative films of the franchise - which was the cause of criticism. The main character is submissive to her husband and this ends up being extremely problematic in the unfolding of the story. The same happens in the book written by Stephenie Meyer, it is worth saying.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
The last movie of the story, which began with 'Twilight' in 2008. It is worth mentioning that Stephenie Meyer's narrative has always spoken to young people and explored opposites, when talking about Bella and Edward's forbidden love. Unlike 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1', this feature film has much more action and is quite surprising. Of course there are flaws, but it is still satisfying for fans and is the final chapter of a story that has conquered people all over the world - especially here in Brazil. As in the other films of the saga, the technical part continues to be problematic, highlighting the digitally created child (which had a somewhat strange result).
Beauty and the Beast
One of the most beloved and praised Disney films, 'Beauty and the Beast' got its live-action version with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the leads, while the mediocre director Bill Condon ('Twilight') took on the responsibility behind the camera. The result is not quite grand either. The story is the same as the original animation released in the 1990s, and even camera movements are replicated. Here, the viewer must find comfort in the stunning musical numbers (mainly the dance scene and "Be Our Guest") and an impressive production design - Belle's dresses are jaw-dropping. It's not amazing, nor as memorable as the original animation. Still, it should warm the heart of those fans looking for good Disney stories.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
