Joy
The story of Joy Mangano is as unreal as it is inspiring: she built a sales empire from a mop. In her third collaboration with director David O. Russell ('Silver Linings Playbook', 'American Hustle'), Jennifer Lawrence manages to extract the humanity from the character in a script that is not entirely effective. Once again, she was nominated for an Oscar for her work on this movie, Joy.
Accidental Love
The story behind 'Accidental Love' can be better than the movie itself - which is not a difficult task, given the very low quality of the production. The feature film is directed by David O. Russell, a filmmaker known for productions such as 'Silver Linings Playbook', 'American Hustle' and 'Joy'. Those titles were remembered in the awards seasons, right? But in the middle of the way there was 'Accidental Love'. The romantic comedy with Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal was made before those mentioned titles, but finished afterwards. Russell was worried about the quality of the feature film and felt that, because it was so bad, a bad reception could hinder him with new undertakings. He solved this, then, signing the film with the pseudonym Stephen Greene. And even years later, he still tries to stay away from any discussion about the movie out of fear of burning his image in Hollywood. In other words: it's really a bomb, one of those movies that make you embarrassed. But, maybe because of that and the story behind it, it's a good alternative entertainment. Just understand the context and laugh a little at this small Russell failure, known for mistreating actors on stage. The world turns.
American Hustle
Inspired by a real FBI operation during the 1970s, this fun movie by David O. Russell brings one of the director's favorite themes: losers who do whatever it takes to come out on top. With glorious performances by Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence (all Oscar-nominated), 'American Hustle' will entertain you and also move you.
Amsterdam
What is 'Amsterdam'? "The name of the capital of the Netherlands," you must be answering. In David O. Russell's 'The Silver Linings Playbook', it takes on another meaning: a place we want to go to forget our problems, living in another reality. However, the story - set on the eve of World War II - throws up a dilemma: escaping this hard life won't erase your problems. Thus, we see the trio Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington being forced to face, in the heart of New York and far from Amsterdam, an adventure of crime and mystery involving very powerful people. The cast also features other famous names, such as Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon, Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, Mike Myers and many others. Even if it gets lost trying to mix too many elements, creating an amalgam of mystery, comedy, drama and romance, 'Amsterdam' has great art direction, the merit of setting a frighteningly current story and, above all, another great performance by Bale.

Drama
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
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.
