Why watch this film?
Have you ever imagined bringing together actress Daryl Hannah (the protagonist of 'Splash: A Mermaid in My Life') and musician and director Neil Young as, respectively, director and star in a movie with non-actors that mixes past, present, future and surrealism? And with a plot about an outlaw group that experiences the superpowers of the Full Moon? Well, it happened. Few will understand it, even fewer will like it, but this is a lysergic and metaphysical journey that only Neil Young and Daryl Hannah together could give us. Recommended for those who like experimentation, Young's music (which includes great jams and the memorable 'Peace Trail'), that "homemade" aesthetic, and want something to embark on to take their feet off the ground. If that's not your profile, don't watch it.

Game Over, Man!
"Game Over, Man!" is an action-comedy starring Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson as hotel employees who find themselves in a dangerous situation and join forces to save the day, hostages, and Jamaican musician Shaggy. Okay, the script isn't anything too original but laughter is guaranteed. This Netflix original movie is produced by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad" and "Sausage Party") and Scott Rudin, the Oscar-nominated producer of "Lady Bird".
Roxanne Roxanne
A biographical movie of the rapper Roxanne Shanté, who was hugely successful at just 17 years old in the 1980s. The film brings a hard story, with high doses of reality and drama, showing the underworld of hip-hop in Queens, New York. A good original production from Netflix that, in addition to bringing a woman as the protagonist, brings a nostalgic air for fans of the old guard and memorable performances. It's a pity that the script, in some moments, has its loopholes.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
