I’m Nonetheless Right here is a robust movie that explores the true story of an atypical household dwelling below fascism in Seventies Brazil. Because the nation faces the tightening grip of a navy dictatorship, Eunice Paiva, a mom of 5, should reinvent herself and her household when authorities abduct her husband.
The primary half of the film is a joyous portrayal of the atypical lives of this tight-knit household, with a fly-on-the-wall strategy that lets you actually luxuriate and spend time with these characters. The second half is a devastating take a look at what occurs when that household unit is damaged aside for political causes. It’s a narrative of resilience and attempting to maneuver ahead within the face of inescapable adversity.

It could not sound like essentially the most enjoyable watch, but it surely’s extremely transferring and even uplifting regardless of the robust material.

Dave Bautista in The Killer’s Sport. (Courtesy of Lionsgate/Everett Assortment)
For each big-budget film Dave Bautista is in, it appears he does one other smaller-scale one which goes out with zero consciousness, generally straight to DVD. The Killer’s Sport follows films like Bushwick (2017) and Closing Rating (2018) on this grand custom, although it did get a small theatrical launch, so possibly Lodge Artemis (2018) is a greater comparability.
When high hit man Joe Flood (Bautista) is recognized with a terminal sickness, he decides to take issues into his personal arms — by taking successful out on himself. However when the very hit males he employed additionally goal his ex-girlfriend, he should fend off a military of murderer colleagues and win again the love of his life earlier than it’s too late.
The film is at its greatest when it is aping John Wick and fewer thrilling when its tone shifts to one thing extra like Bullet Prepare. Bautista is a good character actor and continues to deliver gravitas to roles that in any other case might have been flat, and he’s supported right here by tons of actors you’ll acknowledge, together with his Guardians of the Galaxy co-star Pom Klementieff, Ben Kingsley, Terry Crews and Sofia Boutella. If you happen to’re into motion flicks, it’s a adequate time.

Gilles Lellouche in Daaaaaali! (Courtesy of Everett Assortment)
If you happen to’re unfamiliar with the work of prolific French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux, the second most well-known director named Quentin at present making films, Daaaaaali! is a superb place to begin.
Dupieux is himself a surrealist/absurdist, and all of his movies match squarely below these labels, so a “biopic” about surrealist painter Salvador Dalí was a pure alternative, and it’s one among his greatest. It’s an extremely self-aware meta-joke of a film, stuffed with hilarious bits and goals inside goals that might play higher in the event that they weren’t spoiled.
The logline is just “A younger French journalist repeatedly meets iconic surrealist artist Dalí for a documentary mission that by no means got here to be.” Cinema is unlikely to ever see a greater pairing of filmmaker and topic.
How you can watch: Daaaaaali! is now streaming on Mubi, which gives a free seven-day trial.

Ray Nicholson in Borderline. (Courtesy of Magnolia/Everett Assortment)
Borderline is a brand-new horror-comedy that’s truly debuting in theaters March 14, the identical day it’s accessible on digital.
It options the perfect performances but from two budding style staples, Samara Weaving of Prepared or Not fame and Ray Nicholson, who appeared briefly in Smile 2 however was a mainstay on the poster, probably on account of the truth that he’s Jack Nicholson’s son. Additionally, his face appears lots like his father’s, so when Ray does a scary face, it’s fairly menacing!
Nicholson flexes that muscle a bit right here within the position of a psychopath stalker who does a horror movie-style residence invasion on a pop star, performed by Weaving.
The film has some bother shifting gears from stunning horror to laugh-out-loud comedy, however these tonal points don’t take away from the truth that it’s a fun-enough star automobile for 2 younger performers who’ve but to stretch their legs like this earlier than. There’s a dedication to the bit right here that’s commendable and several other noteworthy needle drops, together with an unbelievable and unlikely duet of a Celine Dion banger. These moments, in addition to the pure film star high quality exuded by its stars and its general dedication to the bit, received me over regardless of some points with tone and flippancy with regard to Nicholson’s character’s psychological situation.

Parthenope is rattling close to inconceivable to successfully describe, however these aware of the work of Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino can no less than get a way of the way it’ll look: completely attractive with well-composed visuals of Italian seascapes, structure and the human physique.
Sorrentino’s films are normally about males and really male wishes. This one inverts the method, centering on a lady, Parthenope, and the impact she has on these round her, women and men alike. It virtually performs like a parody of his sensibilities — the way in which he depicts the admittedly beautiful Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), marveling and gawking at her determine however stressing that she’s good too, with a subplot about her finding out anthropology.
There’s no actual plot. We merely watch Parthenope undergo life and are supposed to ascribe which means from her interactions with others. Good luck! Even for those who don’t get a lot out of the film, there’s no denying it’s good to take a look at, with among the most putting pictures of the 12 months.
How you can watch: Parthenope is now accessible to hire or buy on Prime Video and different video-on-demand platforms.
