20th Century Women (2016)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, the movie is a great comedy about the changing of customs (especially of women) between the late 1970s and 1980s - something that, in a way, still resonates today. The story is sophisticated and entertaining, while Annette Bening and Elle Fanning are great on screen as mother and daughter.

Beginners
Movie that gave the Oscar to actor Christopher Plummer, the oldest to win the award in the supporting category, 'Beginners' emotionally touches when it tells a story about sexuality, acceptance and identity. After all, the plot follows the story of a young man who is shocked when he discovers that his father, a terminally ill cancer patient, reveals himself as a homosexual man. It's a beautiful, sensitive movie with the dilemmas of life, and it gains even more strength with a cast in tune with the message of the story.
C'mon C'mon
What a sensitive, beautiful and delicate movie 'C'mon C'mon' is, a feature film directed and written by Mike Mills ('Every Kind of Love', 'Women of the 20th Century') and starring Joaquin Phoenix ('Joker'). With a beautiful black and white photography, it tells the story of an uncle (Phoenix) who must learn to deal with and live with his nephew (Woody Norman), an intelligent and eccentric boy who faces problems with his parents. Without weighing down and becoming a melodrama, the movie moves with the most beautiful aspects of a relationship and, mainly, with the process of life discovery by a child. All this emotion gains even more powerful airs with the good performances of the main duo: Phoenix hits as this uncle who tries to share his love between work and family, while Norman shows a rare cinematic power in children.
Comedy
Rye Lane
A romantic comedy that captures a highly stylized photography, excellent performances, the rich cultural context of South London and some pages from the manual of Before Dawn, result in a romantic comedy that does not reinvent the wheel, but feels very refreshing thanks to its dynamic. The story begins right after Dom (David Jonsson) breaks up with his girlfriend and casually meets Yas (Vivian Oparah). The couple spend time together, getting to know each other and helping each other cope with their broken hearts in funny and unexpected ways. A fun Star+ exclusive if you like romantic comedies, but are looking for something a little different.
La Situación
A woman inherits a farm left by her grandmother in Argentina only to discover that it is a cocaine production farm.
Wobble Palace
Low budget American movie set on the eve of “Trump era” in the United States, aiming to be a time capsule of the Millennial generation with all its eccentricities and economic, relational, and identity complexities. Wobble Palace follows a young couple on the brink of collapse (she being queer and he hetero) that decide to separate, but not completely. They decide to share their weekend house so they can experiment their lives separately. The movie has many hilarious moments and some revelations about the contradictions of the generation. With less than an hour and a half running time, it's a fun choice if you're looking for something interesting and different.
La ley de Herodes
Probably the movie that put Luis Estrada on the map as one of the main exponents of political satire in Mexican cinema, which he would refine later with propositions like El infierno. Released in 1999, at the twilight of the 70-year regime of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), La ley de Herodes is already a classic that, in its microcosm, exposes how the corrupt - and absurd - system of Mexican politics works under the thumbs, godfathers, and cynicism of the party. The story is set in the remote and poor town of San Pedro de los Saguaros in 1949, when the inhabitants execute their mayor for trying to steal the municipal money. The PRI, facing important elections, decides to put Juan Vargas (Damián Alcázar, in his first fruitful collaboration with Luis Estrada) as a "puppet" mayor to control the situation in the meantime. But Vargas' initial good intentions soon become corrupted by the twisted power dynamics in the town and in the party, naturally resulting in a disaster.
