Why watch this film?
"Before the Flood" (also known as "Before it's Too Late") is a documentary that, at times, may seem like a vanity project for Leonardo DiCaprio, who narrates and appears as an interviewer for much of its duration. However, if we look beyond that, the information it presents is important and powerful, as its images manage to argue in favor of the urgency to take immediate legal action to stop climate change.

From the same director
Palmer
After 'Alpha Dog' and 'The Social Network', Justin Timberlake didn't have great roles in movies nor challenging ones. He participated in romantic comedies, science fictions, and even animations in the last 10 years and none of the characters were memorable. In 'Palmer', the singer and actor proposed to face a protagonist different from everything he had already shown on the big screen and executed this challenge with mastery. It is worth mentioning that Timberlake and the young actor, Ryder Allen, are the highlights of the movie, which delivers a sincere story about redemption and personal acceptance. Without a doubt, a success for Justin Timberlake's career and also for the director and actor, Fisher Stevens.
Documentary
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
Girls State
Directing duo Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, known for the award-winning documentary Boys State, return now for Girls State. But it would be a mistake to say it's just a female version of the first documentary. Through a select group of girls participating in a federal government simulation in Missouri, this film reveals, firstly, how American politics operates. But secondly, and more importantly, it explores how an environment supposedly empowering girls can both propel and limit them at the same time, raising questions about what we understand about power and the ways to exercise it.
Earth Protectors
Documentaries about the climate crisis are never too many, but sometimes it can be challenging to find one that presents its arguments in a different and memorable way. Earth Protectors is a worthy attempt. Directed by French artist and environmental activist Anne de Carbuccia, it artistically documents her 10-year journey around the world exploring the impact of climate change in various countries, as well as the solutions undertaken to empower global citizens and address the crisis. At times, de Carbuccia and her works take more prominence than necessary, but she manages to present vital information.
