Matky
⭐ 4,1/5
#Drama #Czech
In a nutshell, Matky is a tale of three best female friends anyone could wish for: confident, smart, and fun-loving. As it’s common for modern women, they juggle motherhood and childbirth, while sharing epiphanies on men, relationships, and sex.
Sára, admired for her figure, begins capturing her journey on social media. Another, Hedvika, confined by her workaholic partner’s absence, finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a young singer. Zuzana is an overworked and exhausted mother of two reeling from a recent breakup. To top it all off, Eliška, despite having a supportive partner, contends with difficult parents, is pregnant, and feels overwhelmed by it all.
But all that matters is that they have each other.
Paris Manhattan
⭐ 4.8/5
#French
Woody Allen-obsessed pharmacist and hopeless romantic, Alice strongly desires a relationship, but there are a few reasons things are not exactly working out. The only man Alice ever fancied was taken away from her by her sister. On long lonely nights, Alice turns to a huge poster of Woody Allen for advice, and he replies—-through his movie dialogue.
Now in her thirties and running her father’s pharmacy, Alice fights off her family’s fruitless efforts to find her a fiancé. Two suitors catch her attention at the same time. Ironically, fate intervenes with the help of one of them, and Alice encounters the real, flesh-and-bone Woody Allen on a Paris street. Will his personal advice help Alice to finally move forward?
Seeing Other People
⭐ 4.4/5
#Drama #English
Love comes in all formats and sizes, and Ed and Alice are intended to prove that. Their relationship is steady and comfortable rather than passionate and on the edge, and the couple feels a tug to push some limits.
A chance encounter inspires Alice to explore her desires, and she suggests they open up their relationship. Though Ed is hesitant at first, he eventually agrees to give it a try. As they both test the waters of dating multiple people, they quickly discover that the experience is exhilarating and complicated besides the surface fun. The couple (are they still?) find the answers to what they want from relationships, tucked between moments of joy and awkward tension.
My Pretend Fiance
⭐ 4.6/5
#Polish
Witty and heart-tugging, My Pretend Fiance goes by a classic formula of love comedy movies: in pursuit of a perfect love story, Karina tells an unplanned minor white lie that sends her normal life into a chain reaction of events. Love turns into disappointment, secrets keep emerging, and what once seemed like a perfect scenario, is now falling apart.
Will this little lie spiral out of control, or could it pave the way for healing and a genuine second chance at love?
Music on Hold
⭐ 4.3/5
#Music #Spanish
Ezequiel is on the lookout for music inspiration, as contract film composers often tend to be. His unlikely companion in this music drama is Paula, who’s just pregnant and has been left by her partner, right as her mom arrives from Spain to sort out things with her estranged husband. Unexpectedly, the two help each other sort out their respective messes. A must-watch for musical enthusiasts.
It’s a Wonderful Afterlife
⭐ 4.8/5
#Punjabi #Drama #Fantasy
How about it’s a seemingly Bollywood storyline, but set in the UK with a detective twist and dark humor?
Directed by renowned Gurinder Chadha, Wonderful Afterlife is about a devoted Indian mother Mrs. Sethi, whose desperate wish is to see her daughter Roopi married. Frustrated by the constant rejection of her matchmaking efforts, the mother resorts to an extreme measure: killer curry. We are talking about the dish being to die for, literally.
The unusual modus operandi triggers a police investigation, and the vengeful spirits of the victims start haunting Mrs. Sethi… There is a lot to unpack for both the mother and the daughter in their pursuit of a happy end.
Mi Raccomando
⭐ 4 /5
#Italian #Romance
Would you be able to tell a Northerner from a Southerner in Italy?
Mi Raccomando goes on about the cultural contrasts between Northern and Southern Italy, questioning whether the differences people are so protective about are as profound as they seem. As the story unfolds, characters from both regions navigate love, tradition, and the inevitable clash of lifestyles, only to discover that their emotions and aspirations are strikingly similar.
