Why watch this film?
Based on Susanna Jones' award-winning novel and directed by Wash Westmoreland ('Still Alice', 'Colette'), 'Earthquake Bird' is a thriller that, while eventually not seeming very plausible, is intriguing and engaging. The film will likely not win any awards for straying from genre conventions, but the performances of its multicultural cast - particularly Alicia Vikander's ('The Danish Girl') - are enough to generate tension that will keep you entertained until the end of the story.

Colette
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, known simply as Colette, was one of the greatest French writers from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, as well as being an actress and journalist. A woman ahead of her time, played in this biopic by Keira Knightley (“Pride & Prejudice”), who is impeccable. This is a story of highs and lows, with a lot of overcoming and inspiring. By the way: at the beginning, there are certain parallels between Colette's story and another movie, "The Wife".
Still Alice
A heartbreaking and, unfortunately, realistic story about Alzheimer's disease - and how it can affect not only the carrier but everyone around them. Julianne Moore in one of the best performances of her career, earning multiple awards such as Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA. Not only her, Kristen Stewart is another great highlight of the movie.
