Trailer
Why watch this film?
A movie based on a true story, set in the early 1980s, about a seasoned couple of sailors who decide to take a trip from San Diego to Tahiti—only to be surprised by a devastating hurricane. Thus, we can split the feature into two main segments: the first one being a beautiful love story, and the second being about surviving the disaster. An emotionally stirring drama, especially through Shailene Woodley's (The Fault in Our Stars and Divergent series) performance.

Contraband
If you like those long ones where Mark Wahlberg uses all his physique and muscles to save the day, you've found the right movie. Just like the generic '22 Miles' and 'The Gambler', 'Contraband' is one of those productions that put the star at risk, hit some people and then come out as the hero of the day. There are no big surprises in this good director Baltasar Kormákur's (‘Adrift’) film, who does well when adapting the story from an Icelandic production. The scenes are well filmed, with emphasis on the running in the action scenes, and some well-fitted twists. In the end, it does what is expected: brings a good dose of adrenaline and, without a doubt, should please those Mark Wahlberg fans.
Beast
A typical survival thriller along the lines of classics like 'Shark' or more recent offerings like 'Killer Predators'. 'Beast' tells the story of a recently widowed man (Idris Elba) who takes his teenage daughters on a safari in South Africa, the country where he met his late wife and the girls' mother. However, as expected, things go wrong and what was supposed to be a healing journey turns into a nightmare in which the man must face the fury of nature. It's a modest but effective film that brings entertainment and emotion without grand gestures. Click here to read the full review.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
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.
