Trial by Fire (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Story about crimes, trials, convictions, and redemption almost always make for good movies. 'Trial by Fire' meets these requirements: the feature is based on the true story of Cameron Todd Willingham, convicted of murdering his own children in a fire. Years after the accused was executed by lethal injection, an investigative article published in the prestigious magazine The New Yorker called the trial into question, showing that the evidence was weak. In the film adaptation, director Edward Zwick brings up the points raised by the report - and all of Willingham's suffering in prison.

Legends of the Fall
It's hard not to fall in love with Brad Pitt in the classic 'Legends of the Fall'. He delivers an impeccable performance - solidifying the existentialism theory that everyone only lives brief moments of happiness. It's a passionate, dense and sentimental movie, as all epic dramas tend to be. The movie is based on the book published in 1979 by Jim Harrison and tells the story of three brothers and their father, who live on a farm at the beginning of 1900. Their lives are affected by war, family conflicts and love. The plot covers the period of World War I and Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1930. The entire cast of the film is good - in addition to Brad Pitt, another highlight is Anthony Hopkins, who plays a challenging role.
Drama
On the Fringe
A Spanish social drama with thriller elements, starring Penelope Cruz ("Dolor y Gloria") and Luis Tosar ("Celda 211"), about the intertwined stories of three characters in difficult economic situations seeking to survive 24 crucial hours for their futures. "En los márgenes" could easily lend itself to exploiting its character's conditions in the most miserable way. However, director Juan Diego Botto and his co-writer Olga Rodríguez find the humanity in these circumstances and bring it to the forefront, presenting a powerful tale of the power of solidarity in tough times.
Please Baby Please
A musical comedy best described as Love Without Borders through the kitsch and camp of John Waters and Pedro Almodóvar, Please, Baby, Please follows a couple who witness a murder, becoming the obsession of a gang, starting with fear and ending in lust. The chameleon Andrea Riseborough (Mandy) delivers a delirious performance alongside Harry Melling (Crimes of the Academy). It will please more fans of Rocky Horror Picture Show than traditional musicals, but it's certainly an experience.
