MoviePass, MovieCrash
MoviePass, MovieCrash is an HBO documentary that, as the title suggests, explores the story of the rise and catastrophic fall of MoviePass, the innovative cinema subscription service in the United States. What really happened? While it follows the formula of typical "talking heads" documentaries, where stakeholders parade in front of the camera giving their testimonies, the documentary hits the nerve by presenting the questionable business decisions made by certain company members, encouraged by a financial system that fosters greed and does not allow fair access to financing for all citizens. In other words, MoviePass, MovieCrash is not just the gossip behind the failure of a potentially groundbreaking company: it is also a critique of the unequal, cynical, and sometimes idiotic business and financial culture of the United States.
Rafa Márquez: El capitán
Rafa Márquez: El Capitán is a documentary by Mexican director Carlos Armella (Go, Youth!, The Day I Met El Chapo) that, as the title suggests, delves into the life and career of Rafael Márquez, one of the most notable Mexican soccer players in international football, known as the leader of the Mexican National Team and a defender for Barcelona. Featuring testimonials from sports figures like Ronaldinho, Xavi Hernández, and Jared Borgetti, the documentary explores his moments of glory as well as his controversies without holding back. If you're a fan of Mexican soccer, don't miss it.
How to Rob a Bank
How to Rob a Bank is another of Netflix's ventures into the true crime documentary universe. Here, we're in 1990s Seattle, and the best bank robber in the world has it all: looks, charm, an extensive hideout in a treehouse, and an incredible ability to disappear using Hollywood-style makeup. But as the police close in, his once carefree life turns into a suffocating trap, and he is forced to risk it all in one last heist. A film that follows everything we've seen in true crime documentaries but with an extra flavor when we come across an exciting story with a structure that goes beyond the obvious.
Illusions for Sale: The Rise and Fall of Generation Zoe
Illusions for Sale: The Rise and Fall of Generation Zoe is an intriguing Netflix documentary, neatly packaged in the clichés of the platform's true crime productions. The film discusses the genesis, growth, and fall of the most bizarre and ambitious financial platform in Latin America, which is largely a faithful reflection of its eccentric creator: Leonardo Cositorto. It's a must-watch for true crime fans and those who enjoy improbable stories.
