Bob Trevino Likes It is one of those modest independent dramedies that are surprisingly funny, moving, and powerful, also based on true events. Inspired by director Tracie Laymon’s experiences, the film follows Lily Trevino (Euphoria's Barbie Ferreira), a young woman raised in neglect: abandoned by a drug-addicted mother as a child, she was left in the care of a self-centered and unwilling father, Bob Trevino (French Stewart). After a trivial argument, Lily tries to reconnect with him but accidentally connects on Facebook with another Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo). Together, they form an unexpected father-daughter bond that helps Lily grow and Bob heal an old wound. Bob Trevino Likes It may not be visually ambitious, but its honesty and emotional depth, fueled by an authentic script and Barbie Ferreira’s vulnerable performance, will surprise and move you.
Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. Aftersun is one of those films with an extremely simple plot that nevertheless hides a devastating power. Director Charlotte Wells' feature debut is the story of an 11-year-old girl and her fond memories of her last holiday with her father at a Turkish beach resort. That's enough for a deeply moving cinematic experience, as visually poetic as it is narratively painful, in a portrait of a broken family about to change forever.
A touching movie about a father trying to protect his own son from the horrors of the world. A great work by Benigni, in direction, acting, and screenplay, which rightfully won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, among other awards.
Starring Mel Gibson, Diego Luna, Erin Moriarty and William H. Macy. An action movie that was featured at the Cannes Festival and deserves to be seen. After all, seeing Mel Gibson back in action doing what he does best: being a cynical tough guy and saving his daughter from a drug cartel. The plot doesn't have great moments, nor is it inventive - it ends up being more like 'Taken' than it seems at first glance. However, it's almost impossible not to be mesmerized by the action and violence sequences, which keep the tone of the movie high all the time. For some fun and to dive into this action universe, watch Blood Father.
