Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by Jay Roach ("Trumbo: Blacklist") and written by Charles Randolph ("The Big Short"), "Bombshell" is a timely biographical drama released after the wave of sexual harassment complaints in Hollywood and the US media industry in general. At times, it doesn't transcend sensationalism, but the movie is a great starting point to get to know the #MeToo and Time's Up movements. The highlights are the performances of Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie and a terrifying John Lithgow as Roger Ailes.

Trumbo
Dalton Trumbo was one of the great screenwriters of the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood, having signed films such as 'Spartacus', 'Exodus' and 'The Princess and the Commoner'. However, during McCarthyism and the alleged "witch hunt" in the entertainment industry, Trumbo ended up on the list of professionals prohibited from being hired by the studios. This movie tells this story, with Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad') playing the title role. Thus, we see the harmful effects of the witch hunt lived in the Cold War, the impact on Trumbo's career and how he managed to circumvent these difficulties. The cast is star-studded and, in addition to Cranston, it features Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, John Goodman and many others. Recommended for fans of the seventh art, but also for those who want to watch and reflect on the past and even the future.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
