The Lovebirds
After the successful partnership between director Michael Showalter and actor Kumail Nanjiani in 'The Lovebirds', which was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, the duo returns in 'Um Crime para Dois'. Here, however, there is no sensitivity of Nanjiani and his wife's script, as seen in the previous film. After all, Showalter goes back to betting on basic humor to reach the audience. There are situations that walk on the edge of ridiculousness, others that bet on Kumail's physicality and his partnership on screen, Issa Rae (from 'The Hate You Give'). But this is not a problem, if you are happy with absurd twists and an excellent chemistry between the protagonists, who create a real bond with the audience. The mix of romance, comedy and action movie (yes, action movie!) is fun and, despite being strange, should make many people embark on the story of this happy couple.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
A movie worth it for the performances - earning Jessica Chastain her first Oscar. 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' follows the tumultuous story of an American missionary couple, Tammy Faye (Chastain) and Jim Bakker (Andrew Garfield), who worked in a religious television channel. They became icons in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. Faye's image is well preserved in the movie, in the sense that she seems a victim in this environment and one of the only missionaries trying to be inclusive even with the controversial values of religion. It is a relevant production about religious intolerance, conservatism and also about media control.
The Big Sick
A love story amidst prejudice. With an original screenplay, inspired by a true story, that was nominated for an Oscar we know a very entertaining cultural shock. The years pass but the life of Middle Eastern immigrants in the United States continues to be complicated and the film deals with this issue in a light and humorous way.
Spoiler Alert
Directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) and based on the memoir Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies by Michael Ausiello, Spoiler Alert is a romantic and biographical drama that chronicles the birth, blossoming, and eventual end of the relationship between Michael (played by Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory) and Kit (Ben Aldridge of Llaman a la puerta). As suggested by the title, their relationship has a tragic end, but as they say, it's all about the journey. Its premise could have resulted in a terribly mawkish movie, but Showalter's direction and performances manage to balance comedy with schmaltz and drama, resulting in a powerful and deeply moving romantic film.
Romance
Wicked
Elphaba, an ostracized but defiant girl born with green skin, and Glinda, a privileged aristocrat born popular, become extremely unlikely friends in the magical Land of Oz. As the two girls struggle with their opposing personalities, their friendship is tested as both begin to fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and The Wicked Witch of the West. The first of a two-part film adaptation of the Broadway musical.
Beautiful Wedding
Picking up where Beautiful Disaster left off, Abby and Travis wake up after a crazy night in Vegas as accidental newlyweds. With their best friends in tow and Abby’s six-figure poker winnings, they travel to Mexico, where they can enjoy a wild, lavish honeymoon. But as chaos follows “Trabby” at every turn, they must decide if they belong together – or if this marriage is another disaster waiting to happen.
My Best Friend's Wedding
Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett star in MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING, a high-spirited romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something new, something touching and something truly hilarious. Roberts dazzles as commitment-shy Jules Potter, who reluctantly realizes she is in love with her best friend Michael (Mulroney). There is just one catch: he's about to marry someone else. Comically crazed and full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth.
Turtles All the Way Down
With young adult novels – and their respective film adaptations – like The Fault In Our Stars, John Green has been the undisputed master of moving teenagers and adults since the 2000s... and beyond. Turtles All The Way Down is the adaptation of his latest fiction novel, directed by Hannah Marks (Mark, Mary & Some Other People). The story follows Aza (Isabela Merced, Madame Web), who, in addition to dealing with typical high school teenager issues, must cope with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which becomes debilitating when her thoughts fixate on the bacteria present everywhere in the world... and on herself. It’s a typical Green story: expect some melodramatic romance and tragedy, but grounded and never condescending. Marks’ direction is solid and Merced is phenomenal in the role.
