Why watch this film?
If you like melodramatic romances with unrequited love and illness, in the style of 'The Fault in Our Stars', 'Five Feet Apart' brings the same type of emotional story that will make you emotional. The much needed reflection on human contact stands out from start to finish: how a hug can be crucial as a gesture of comfort or affection. In addition, there is an evident interest of the director, Justin Baldoni, to inform and raise awareness about the condition that affects the protagonists, cystic fibrosis. The cast is a must-see: Haley Lu Richardson ('Split'), Cole Sprouse ('Zack & Cody') and Moises Arias ('Hannah Montana').

Clouds
Remember when movies didn't need special effects to be interesting? If you're a fan of 'Forrest Gump', 'Duelo de Titãs' and 'My Name is Radio', you'll like 'Clouds'. A simple and inspiring production that brings hope. Based on real facts, the movie tells the true story of a teenager with a rare bone cancer (osteosarcoma). The production deals with the complexities of love, friendship, family and the musical talent of the protagonist. It's not an easy narrative, but it's still intriguing and optimistic.
Romance
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
Me Before You
Young and quirky Louisa "Lou" Clark moves from one job to the next to help her family make ends meet. Her cheerful attitude is put to the test when she becomes a caregiver for Will Traynor, a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's cynical outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living. As their bond deepens, their lives and hearts change in ways neither one could have imagined.
