Trailer
Why watch this film?
Who hasn't been to McDonald's at least once? The concept of fast food is synonymous with the iconic golden arches, which were born with the founding of the first restaurant in California. 'The Founder' is a true lesson - albeit a morally questionable one - about seizing opportunities. Michael Keaton's tremendous performance is complemented by an all-star cast that includes Nick Offerman, Linda Cardellini and John Carroll Lynch.

The Highwaymen
"Roads Without Law" is a detective thriller directed by John Lee Hancock (of “Walt Disney Behind The Scenes of Mary Poppins” and “The Blind Side”), which seeks to bring to the spotlight the detectives who captured the infamous criminal duo Bonnie & Clyde - that is, the opposite side of the story that everyone knows. Thus, Hancock focuses on the work of the police officers, brilliantly played by veterans Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. Even though the script is not out of the ordinary (and you already know the end), the protagonists make the movie worth it.
Saving Mr. Banks
"Mary Poppins" is a true classic of musical and fantasy cinema in the Disney repertoire, and the story of its creation is just as fascinating - and moving. "The Dream of Walt" (it must be said, the original "Saving Mr. Banks" is much more appropriate) may be too covered in saccharine sentimentality, but when it comes to Disney, "Mary Poppins" and the brilliant performances by both Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson (nominated for a Golden Globe), it's impossible not to succumb to its charms.
The Little Things
At first glance, the cast of 'The Little Things' is surprising. Rami Malek ('Bohemian Rhapsody'), Denzel Washington ('Training Day') and Jared Leto ('Dallas Buyers Club') form the main trio. Meanwhile, the plot tells the story of Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon (Washington), who is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence collection. Instead, he gets involved in the search for a serial killer terrorizing the city. In charge of the case, Jim Baxter (Rami Malek), a Los Angeles Police Department detective, impressed with Deke's instincts, unofficially appoints the officer to help him. With echoes of 'Seven', the feature film tries to complicate the story more than is possible, getting tangled up in difficult comings and goings to decipher. Even more so with John Lee Hancock's (‘The Highwaymen’) confusing and personality-less direction. But at least Denzel Washington is a spectacle on the screen, with his tics and quirks further perfecting the character.
Mr. Harrigan's Phone
Based on a Stephen King story, 'Mr. Harrigan's Phone' follows the story of a boy whose only companion is a mysterious old man, Mr. Harrigan of the title. Everything changes when the elderly man dies - and the cellphone he was given shortly before continues to send messages and receive calls. Once again, director John Lee Hancock creates an incredible atmosphere of terror for almost an hour, as he did in 'The Little Things', but not much else happens - not much happens. Nevertheless, the entire narrative presented is well done and the cast is good, with Jaeden Martell ('It: The Thing') and Donald Sutherland ('The Hunger Games'). There is a tone of mystery, but in the end there is no development. It is worth it for the curiosity and for being a work of the King of Terror.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
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.
