Trailer
Why watch this film?
A movie that goes beyond simple entertainment, with a mystery to be solved by the characters and the audience. The first act proposes an interesting way to set the mystery, even though the story then follows some rather obvious paths. There is also beautiful cinematography, with snowy scenes that help compose the desolation of the characters.

Guest of Honour
Movie exploring the relationship between father and daughter, 'Guest of Honour' is an intriguing film: it tells the story of Jim (David Thewlis), a food inspector trying to get his daughter Veronica (Laysla De Oliveira), a high school teacher wrongfully accused of sexual assault, out of jail. But the situation changes when Veronica says she doesn't want to leave jail. From there, with direction and screenplay by Atom Egoyan ('The Sweet Tomorrow'), we follow the hard unfolding of this situation, delving into a drama that moves between family pain and the feelings of each of the characters. Special mention to Thewlis (from the 'Harry Potter' saga) who, as in 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things', manages to put strangeness in his character and raise the tone of the feature film.
Devil's Knot
This thriller is inspired by the book Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, which recounts the case of the West Memphis Three, three teenagers sentenced (two to life in prison, one to death) for the alleged murder of three children in 1993, allegedly as part of satanic rituals, in a case tainted by so-called "Satanic Panic" in the United States. Directed by Canadian Atom Egoyan (The Guest) and starring Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon and Dane DeHaan, Devil's Knot explores the collective hysteria that surrounded the case and the conviction of the three teenagers, forming an impactful portrait of an era marked by ideological manipulation.
Thriller
Boy Kills World
When his family is murdered, a deaf-mute named Boy escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.
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.
