Trailer
Why watch this film?
Even without a brilliant script, the movie manages to move us with the story of a trio who don't know how to deal with their niece's precocious genius, whom they adopted and find themselves forced to compete for custody with the girl's mother. The main issue, however, is the problem that the feature raises: which is the best path for a gifted child? The direction is by Marc Webb (of '(500) Days With Her') and the cast includes Chris Evans ('Captain America: The First Avenger) and Octavia Spencer ('The Shack').

From the same director
The Amazing Spider-Man
Director Marc Webb (of '500 Days With Her') was called upon to tell a new origin story of Spider-Man on the big screen, this time with heavy influence from Marvel Comics' Ultimate label and the classic hero's comics phase by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. Now with Andrew Garfield ('The Social Network') in the title role, the focus of the story is on the relationship between hero responsibilities and the difficulties of civilian life - especially in the love story between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone, who went on to win an Oscar for 'La La Land'). Less formulaic than Sam Raimi's trilogy, drama and romance take the place of fun - with an interesting result.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
The second installment of the Spider-Man story, directed by Marc Webb and expanding on the protagonist's relationship with his family, civilian life and love for Gwen Stacy. While Jamie Foxx's villian lacks depth, the special effects for Electro are breathtaking, not to mention the fight scene in Times Square. However, with too many themes and a lack of focus, the movie is lost. Even so, despite its flaws, it still does justice to the superhero's mythology.
(500) Days of Summer
It's not a conventional love story, "500 Days with Her" shows an unconventional relationship told in a non-linear way. The movie was well received by critics, both for its soundtrack and screenplay, which earned nominations for the Golden Globe and Best Screenplay at the Independent Spirit Awards. Directed by Marc Webb, the drama helped Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel become favorites of the US independent film scene.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
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.
