Harriet (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
History often does not do justice to the most important African American figures in the United States, and the case of Harriet Tubman is just one of many that have not received the deserved representation in pop culture. That's why 'Harriet' is only the first cinematic production intended for the big screen and entirely dedicated to the political and abolitionist activist. As is usually the case with biographical dramas, this feature film directed by filmmaker and actress Kasi Lemmons ('Eve's Bayou') does not lack melodramatic clichés of the genre. However, Cynthia Erivo ('Widows') is phenomenal in the title role, earning one of the two Oscar nominations for the film (the second was for the original song 'Stand Up'). Perfect for those who like inspiring stories.

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody
Substitute the title 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody: A História de Whitney Houston' with 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'. Translate the following text into US English:Although it is a rather square biopic for a figure of the stature of Whitney Houston, 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' is a refreshing treat for the singer's fans. It not only speaks of the most important issues in the life of the North American, such as drug addiction, criticism from the black community and her relationship with her father and husband, but also celebrates all the good that Houston has done. All the incredible numbers she has beaten, all the vocal strength and so on. In addition, Naomi Ackie ('Lady Macbeth') is well on stage and, despite some slips with exaggeration of mannerisms, knows how to live The Voice on the big screen. Could it be a more creative movie, like 'Elvis' or 'Rocketman'? Without a doubt. It approaches, in the end, more of the formula of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. But still, it moves.Substitute the title 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody: A História de Whitney Houston' with 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'.

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.
