Trailer
Why watch this film?
In The Accountant one must recognize its ambition as a character study (brilliantly acted by Ben Affleck), in addition to its satisfying action sequences. However, it is plagued by an overabundance of narrative details, an irregular pace, and more than a few far-fetched coincidences in the script. Ideal if you want to distract yourself with a decent action thriller, or if you're a fan of Anna Kendrick and want to see her in something other than a comedy.

The Way Back
There are many examples of inspiring movies in which a team that fights against all odds manages to overcome adversity thanks to a coach who goes through his own story of overcoming (‘The Man Who Changed the Game’ is one of those examples). 'The Way Back' is a sports drama with a similar premise, but treated with an even more serious approach, with a protagonist immersed in alcoholism, depression and remorse. It is a solid performance by Ben Affleck (in a role that can also be very personal for the actor, who reported having gone through similar problems in his life). This is a feature-length given to sentimentality and a bit conventional within its type, but it is worth watching if you identify with these themes or need a “comeback” story to be inspired.
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.
