Inspired by the homonymous book written by R.C. Sherriff, 'A Última Jornada' follows a group of British soldiers during World War I. The movie shows multiple claustrophobic scenes with the reality of the fights against the Germans in the trenches. Although it is not as emotional as the book, it is still a beautiful adaptation.
This is the second movie by Taylor Sheridan, who is also an actor- and he is starting to shape his sense of direction. Previously, Sheridan had directed a horror movie and now he shows that he has talent for a good police suspense- both to direct and script. He even won the award for Best Director of the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival in 2017. With a story that seduces and intrigues you to want to unravel the plot, 'Wind River' is great for those who love a good thriller.
In times of "fake news" and accusations about the role of the press, 'Spotlight' brings good old journalism to work – and revealing one of the most sordid stories of the Catholic Church. A film that is a real lesson in journalism for students, professionals and for all those who just follow the communication channels – but who need to judge and evaluate the information they are consuming.
Directed and starring Brie Larson (from the success of 'Captain Marvel' and Oscar winner for 'Room'), 'The Unicorn Store' is a beautiful portrait of life for those who lost their childhood dreams in the sea of adult obligations. Larson's lens is saturated with pastel colors everywhere, appropriate for a fairytale atmosphere - on the other hand, the honey is offset by the serious tone of the protagonist's existential crisis. The actress makes an extravagant debut as a director, and we can say, a bit cheesy, but her effort ends up being truly genuine and fun. Also, if you enjoyed her chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel superhero movie, here you can see them together again.
