‘Palm Springs’
The other movie of time loops and romantic comedy released in a few months has a more overtly acidic and thirty-year-old tinge than the commented ‘The map of the perfect instants.’ One of Hulu’s most significant recent hits in the United States, streaming this year after its theatrical release was thwarted by the pandemic. With magnificent performances by Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti and an incredible capacity for constant surprise, it is one of the year’s comedies and one of the most vital and appropriate films for the times we are living in condemned as we are to an eternal return. Constant.
With his usual elegance, Peter Strickland (director of the incredibly sophisticated ‘The Duke of Burgundy’ and ‘Berberian Sound Studio’) poses, from a material that is pure thematic demolition (the story of a cursed dress that passes from owner to owner, with lethal results) a film that draws on Asian genre cinema, Giallo and the euro-horror of the seventies, without ceasing to be completely contemporary. A small wonder that many will dismiss as “high terror,” but ultimately is good horror.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
The definitive version of ‘Justice League’ ended up being something more than a darker tone remake and some deleted scene. There are four hours that HBO aired as a single movie, which connects with Zack Snyder’s vision of DC characters. If luminous, festive Marvel-style heroes are your thing, you might not be interested, but if you are captivated by the idea of super-angry and tormented Superman and Batman, this movie is like Christmas coming forward.
‘Wild’
Wild thriller with the spirit of the series B that became the most impartial and shameless show of fun of these first months of the year without problems. An imposing Russel Crowe channels the Michael Douglas of ‘A Day of Fury’ just at the moment when it seems that this iconic Joel Schumacher film is once again more than a wacky thriller, a piece of social commentary. Please take it as an urban drama without fuss or as a skidding festival, a must for the confreres of the Brotherhood of Strong Emotion.

The weeping woman
María Mercedes Coroy in “La Llorona”
Jayro Bustamante’s film has been one of the great surprises in Latin American cinema, after being the first Guatemalan film to receive a nomination for the best foreign film at the Golden Globes.
The story takes up a famous Spanish-American myth – the legend of the woman who drowned her children and whose soul, repentant and cursed, seeks them crying at night – to relate a fact: the so-called Mayan or Guatemalan genocide, one of the worst atrocities in the history of Latin America.
The absolute terror of "La Llorona," the acclaimed Latin American film, narrates the "Mayan genocide."Minari
