Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by Steve McQueen (of the impactful '12 Years a Slave') and with a great screenplay co-written with Gillian Flynn ('Gone Girl'), 'Widows' is based on a 1980s TV series which, in Brazil, was broadcast as 'The Golden Ladies'. The feature-length version is an exciting thriller with several plot twists. Special mention for the great performances of the cast, especially the incredible Elizabeth Debicki and the always impressive Viola Davis (which earned her a BAFTA nomination).

From the same director
12 Years a Slave
A hard and indigestible story, reminding us even more fatefully of the horrors of slavery. Solomon Northup had the chance to eventually tell his story, but there were millions who never could. '12 Years a Slave' is technically a perfect movie—deserving of the three Oscars it received. But watch the movie not because of that, but for all the stories that were silenced and can never be heard.
Shame
This is a movie directed by Steve McQueen, again in collaboration with Michael Fassbender after 'Hunger.' 'Shame: Guilty Desires' continues his unflinching visual style to confront the human condition in its most devastating form, through obsession with sex, as well as the way an addiction - and the resulting guilt - can consume all other aspects of a life into an unavoidable black hole. Carey Mulligan ('Drive') and especially Michael Fassbender dive into the darkest depths of the human psyche to lay it bare for the viewer, in a manner as disturbing as it is captivating.
Thriller
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.
Sleeping Dogs
Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, is forced to revisit a case he can’t remember. As a man’s life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth - sometimes, it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
