Why is?

Why is?
For nine days, director Lola Cuevas will rehearse for the next shoot with her two main actors – audience favorite Félix Rivero and theater actor Iván Tores. The eccentric director pushes her two actors to their limits with unconventional means.
We find:
Takes the film industry and especially the acting subject properly on the grain. The Argentinian directing team Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat have succeeded in creating a quirky comedy that is expected in some places, but thanks to the committed trio of Cruz, Banderas and Martinez it makes for a lot of laughs. For all the criticism

Saturday, August 6th: Drunk
Why is?
There is the theory that people with 0.5 per mille were born too little. With a slightly higher level, the problems would be smaller and the creativity would increase. Four teachers want to check that and try to have 0.5 per mille constantly during work.
We find:
The film is often wonderfully funny, but doesn’t forget to point out the dangers of alcohol, but without getting too preachy about it. The differentiated handling of the subject and a great ensemble of actors led by the great Mads Mikkelsen make the film an entertaining intoxication – without any effort the morning after. For all the criticism

Why is?
In the maternity hospital, Janis, who is in her late thirties, meets the teenager Ana. Both women became pregnant unplanned. The few two days together before and after the birth of children have unexpected consequences for whose lives are henceforth irreversibly linked.
We find:
Penélope Cruz carries the film in the role of the self-confident photographer and loving mother who is faced with increasingly complex decisions. Madres paralelas thrives on dramatic turns, but never drifts into the melodramatic. For all the criticism

Monday, August 8th: The 355
Why is?
Agents from different espionage backgrounds join forces under the direction of the unpredictable CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown. They join forces to prevent a sinister organization from throwing the world into chaos.
We find:
Emotional sentimentality or sluggish and overly complicated plot elements are deliberately avoided. Instead, the focus is on the skills of the top-class ensemble and the rousing action and suspense sequences, which is pleasantly reminiscent of the heyday of the genre. For all the criticism
