Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on the non-fiction book The Boys in the Boat, this film tells the story of a group of young men who, affected by the economic crisis of the 1930s in the United States, become a formidable rowing team that even takes the fight to the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics. Although the rigidity in George Clooney's direction (The Tender Bar) doesn't do it many favors, the film is steered to success by the sheer impact of its story and the work of its actors, especially Callum Turner (Fantastic Beasts) and Hadley Robinson (Moxie).

The Midnight Sky
George Clooney returns to the director's chair in this sci-fi drama based on the book Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton. The film follows the story of a scientist racing against time to prevent a group of astronauts from returning to Earth after a global catastrophe. This is one of Clooney's best works as a director and also as an actor - he is also one of the protagonists of 'The Midnight Sky'. If you were worried about the excess of coffee commercials he was doing, you can rest assured as George Clooney has returned to what he does best. Besides him, the rest of the cast, Kyle Chandler, Felicity Jones and David Oyelowo, are great too.
The Tender Bar
'The Tender Bar' is a touching and sensitive story. The exclusive Amazon Prime Video movie is directed by George Clooney (who has already held the position in films such as 'Good Night and Good Luck'), and stars Tye Sheridan ('Ready Player One') and Ben Affleck ('Gone Girl'). The production adapts the book of the same name by J. R. Moehringer, in which the author tells his own life in Long Island. It is a measured and honest journey of maturity, paying more attention to everyday details and unique moments than to a journey of great events. Still, it is a powerful drama, one of those made to move the viewer.
The Ides of March
"The Ides of March," directed by George Clooney, is a gripping political drama that explores the dark underbelly of American politics. The story follows the idealistic press secretary, Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling), as he navigates the treacherous waters of a presidential campaign. As the Ohio Democratic primary approaches, Meyers finds himself caught up in a web of dirty politics, scandal, and betrayal. The film is supremely well-acted, with standout performances from Gosling, Clooney, and Paul Giamatti. While it may not expose any revelatory truths, "The Ides of March" is a measured and confident drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The film is rated R for pervasive language and has a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Overall, "The Ides of March" is a must-see for anyone interested in American politics or just looking for a well-crafted drama.
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.
