Trailer
Why watch this film?
Rooney Mara looks great as 'Mary Magdalene', unfortunately the female role gets lost in the story - which ends up giving a bigger protagonism to Jesus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, in several moments of the production. Despite this, director Garth Davis, from 'Lion: A Journey Home', did a good job on the movie.

Lion
Based on real facts, this is one of those movies to captivate us, about a young man who is ready to overcome any obstacle in order to reunite with his own family. The themes of loneliness, search for origins, family and reunion are universal, but gain an interesting Indian flavor in this movie. Also, the beautiful photography stands out.
Foe
Marital drama and science fiction come together in 'Foe,' a film directed by Garth Davis (Lion: A Long Way Home), based on the novel by Iain Reid, and starring Paul Mescal (Aftersun) and the always impeccable Saoirse Ronan (Little Women). The story, set in an apocalyptic 2065, follows a couple, Hen and Junior, leading a mundane life until a stranger appears at their door with a surprising proposition: to participate in the OuterMore space colony, while a robotic replica of one of them stays on Earth to live with their spouse. Despite having a somewhat slow pace, the film presents interesting ideas about human identity and the search for meaning in an increasingly dehumanized world, like a blend between the powerful classic "Never Let Me Go" and an episode of Black Mirror.
Drama
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
Astral City: A Spiritual Journey
Life after death is the main theme in this drama about the process of transformation of a man during his surprising and enlightening experiences in the spiritual dimension. With magnificent art direction and special effects that have never been seen before in a Brazilian production, the film brings to the screen the most important work by Brazilian medium Chico Xavier who, through the account of the spirit of doctor André Luiz, describes in great detail what life is like at “ASTRAL CITY: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY”.
20,000 Species of Bees
Lucía is an eight-year-old girl, who sometimes struggles as the world tries to catch up with the fact that she is trans. As the summer holidays pass, she explores her femininity alongside the women of her family who at the same time reflect on their own femininity.
Challengers
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a “Challenger” event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
