The film is about how a callous Englishman in the cozy landscapes of France sells his family business to cunning Americans. And this international deal was filmed by one of the kings of epic films, Ridley Scott. But there will be no epicness in this film - it’s about the soul, about good wine and about what makes life worth living.
The main character spent his summer holidays at his uncle's winery in Provence. In a sunny paradise, the boy learned to appreciate simple things, to be sincere and to live honestly, but London quickly washed all this warm French optimism out of the guy. Max grew up and became a stock trader: the smell of croissants and grapes was replaced by the smell of money and expensive suits. Uncle Henry dies either from old age or from his nephew's disappointment, and Max flies to Provence to sell the family business. Falling into an empty pool helps Max return to Uncle Max's lessons - now the hero has to rise from the bottom in every sense.

There is hardly a person who at least once would not like to relive some of his happy moments. Graduation, wedding, travel to another country, first kiss, the day when a loved one returned from the hospital, trip or army. It would be cool to be able to go back in time to re-experience the emotions of such events (just without the excesses, like in Black Mirror). Max, the main character of this film, has been filming his life since the age of thirteen and, on the threshold of his fortieth birthday, decided to rewind his biography from the very beginning. The memories displayed on the screen look completely different from those in memory, and a twenty-year family chronicle pushes Max to deep introspection and an attempt to correct mistakes that the man had no idea about before.

A still from the film “The Adventures of Paddington”
After the death of his guardian, a young bear cub, born and raised in the jungles of dense Peru, goes to London to find a new home. But the British capital turns out to be not at all as welcoming as he expected.
Fortunately, the unusual traveler is picked up at the station by the Brown family and given the name Paddington. Together with new friends, the hero will have to find an old friend of his uncle and aunt. And at the same time, avoid falling into the hands of the evil taxidermist Millicent Clyde, who dreams of making a stuffed animal out of a kind bear for her collection.
Paddington Bear, wearing a blue coat and a red hat, is one of the most famous and recognizable characters in English literature. And the modern film adaptation of Michael Bond’s cult book came out just great. This is an inventive, heartfelt and at the same time incredibly funny and educational movie that will perfectly entertain children and adults.

Bruce Springsteen is a legend of American rock and roll of the 70s. The leader of the E-Street Band won a Grammy twenty times, received a Tony Award, and even managed to win an Oscar and a Golden Globe (for the soundtrack to the film Philadelphia). And in 2019, an emotional teenage drama was filmed about the music of this cult performer and composer, where a boy from a Pakistani refugee family in London learns to be himself.
Javed grows up in a patriarchal family, and his dad is not happy that his son wants to be a humanitarian. Javed writes excellent essays, wins literary competitions and suffers like Turgenev. This teenager desperately wants to realize himself, but the father stubbornly refuses to accept his child’s choice. Then Javed finds someone who sincerely understands him - Bruce Springsteen. In the rock star's lyrics, the guy recognizes himself and finally begins to live.

Tim Burton's fantasy with special effects and an irresistible CGI elephant is a great movie for the whole family. Professional circus performers starred in the kind and bright movie about a flying elephant calf; the crowd alone included over 600 people. It is curious that in a foreign film the march of the Soviet composer Isaac Dunaevsky from the film “Circus” was performed twice. The director wrapped the story about the big-eared arena star Dumbo from the legendary old cartoon with a modern message about animal protection.

At first it may seem that this film got to the top by accident, because it is about as positive as in “Thirteen Reasons Why.” Due to the financial crisis, the boy Connor is transferred to a state religious and free school, and the teenager’s parents are on the verge of divorce and do not help their son adapt much. Connor immediately has difficulties communicating with the director and classmates, and then the guy comes to class wearing brown shoes instead of the required black ones - it’s time to break the system and form a rock band. Connor does gather a group, but his goal is to please Raphina. The girl dreams of becoming a model and leaving the Irish Republic for the UK, so she really likes Connor’s rebellious spirit.

Sing Street is the third musical dramedy in John Carney's career, and Once in a Lifetime is the second and probably the most famous.
Gretta James wanders around New York like an abandoned kitten and tries to heal her broken heart with the help of music. Gretta really got dumped - the heroine is going through a breakup with her rocker boyfriend, who has gone headlong into commerce and forgotten that music is actually about the soul, and not about money and fame. Gretta herself sings and composes only for herself and does not want to sell herself to greedy managers. With this approach, she belongs on the street - that’s what former record label manager Dan decides. The man saw (or heard) Gretta’s talent even through a protracted binge and decided to make a celebrity out of the fragile performer. And instead of boring studios, the guys chose a live venue to record the album - New York. No money, no professional musicians, no ambitions - just a sincere desire to fill the world with music.

A cozy old American comedy in which you can see a couple of stylish looks. The plot here is based on "The Prince and the Pauper": two girls, very similar to each other, meet by chance and decide to switch places. One of them lives in a luxurious mansion with a millionaire dad and an evil stepmother; the other is in a shelter with a kind and understanding teacher. At first, no one notices the substitution, because the girls have identical appearances, but soon the difference in character reveals the scam. Quiet and modest Alyssa, raised in an all-inclusive environment, will have fun surprises at the shelter, such as a toad in her bed and pasta on her face. Well, for orphan Amanda, no less of a challenge will be the number of cutlery on the table and the request to play the piano. Having played enough of each other, Amanda and Alyssa suddenly realize that they can also drag their guardians into their deception, and the girls have a new goal - to marry Amanda’s teacher and Alyssa’s father.

An excellent choice for those who don’t mind frequent vulgar jokes and light script nonsense. Many people believe that if you rub a sculpture in the subway or put a coin under your heel, you will catch not a fungus, but good luck. And in such “lucky” rituals, Charlie the dentist plays the role of a prop: as soon as any woman sleeps with this guy, the lucky woman will soon get married. It is not surprising that at some point Charlie's bedroom, car and office turned into places of pilgrimage. But the hero himself is fed up with such a conveyor belt of other people’s happiness: Charlie has fallen in love, and in order not to lose his girlfriend, he needs to get rid of his curse.

A film with a strange name will tell you how strange we are. Why do some people want marriage and others don't? Why do those who want choose those who don't? Why do even those who want, then basically don’t want anything? And what do men and women actually want from each other? There will be a lot of complex issues here, but this movie is easy to watch: the popular actors look very natural in the roles of very ordinary people, and the scenery of the events looks cozy and welcoming. And even when someone does something bad, a karmic “ah-ah-ah” always comes to him.

Well, the scenario here is a cupcake without raisins and other interesting toppings. Erin and Garrett meet in a New York bar and spend six weeks together, after which Erin must return home to San Francisco. The novel was intended as temporary entertainment, but after a month and a half the guys got so used to each other that they decided to try to stretch their feelings over four thousand kilometers. Now Garrett and Erin face Skype calls, long weekend trips, an eternal search for compromise, and the absolute disapproval of friends and family. And while the audience looks at the relationship of the heroes to the pop (but very good) soundtrack, the heroes repeat the same question in the background: “Is it worth it?”

In the middle of the last century, Julia Child revolutionized American cooking: she taught women from the states to cook something other than turkey for Christmas and macaroni and cheese the other 364 days of the year. Well, jokes aside, Julia really opened up a fundamentally new way of looking at cooking for American housewives when she published the book “Mastering the Art of French Cuisine.” The immersion in the land of fashion was so deep that some of the recipes in this culinary bible took up to ten pages. But the film is not entirely about that: this movie will tell how in the early 2000s, call center operator Julie Powell prepared real happiness based on Child’s cult book. A woman revitalized her tiny Ikea kitchen, learned to accept herself and looked at her husband in a new way. Well, she became famous thanks to her blog, in which she talked about how “beef bourguignon” and “tarte tatin” were born among Chinese delivery and McDonald’s.

Young composer Jonathan Larson is about to turn 30 and still works as a waiter at a diner and struggles to pay the bills.

The film is based on the autobiographical work of the same name by composer Jonathan Larson, who died in the 90s, and the film was directed by the famous musical author Lin-Manuel Miranda, who directed the famous “Hamilton.”
Despite the seriousness and even darkness of the topic, the film touches the soul. And a significant contribution to this was made by the wonderfully playing Andrew Garfield, who took singing lessons specifically for the role.

The film is based on real events. In 1988, in Alaska, three whales, one of which was only nine months old, were trapped: the ice around them froze and the animals were cut off from the open sea. If not for a chance meeting with a local hunter, the whales would have been doomed to death, but the man did not pass by and decided to help the giants at any cost. Soon the local media, the US government and even Soviet icebreakers joined the savior. For three weeks, all of America watched the operation on the news, and the residents of Alaska did everything possible to prevent the ice prisoners from dying. And it was not all in vain: the concern of one person was transmitted by an electrical impulse to hundreds of others, and as a result, the animals were saved. And it doesn’t matter that Operation Breakthrough cost a million dollars, and scientists did facepalm en masse - the main thing is that the whales survived, and the people remained Humans.

Teenagers approach this responsibly, realize the importance of the moment and do not forget about safety, but parents of graduates still think that in matters of sex it is better either late or never.

Both heroes are tired of the relationship and no longer want to hear reproaches and complaints from the opposite sex. But, on the other hand, in crowded New York, the guys want a little human warmth.

Well, only if you really wanted to eat, the cinema showed a film by your favorite director, and roses were on sale. In general, the plan for an ideal relationship failed at the idea stage, and this is clear to everyone except the heroes themselves.

A film in which worthy people live ordinary lives and make the audience not only smile, but also respect. And there will also be a good reminder that you shouldn’t put off your life on a dusty shelf “later” or an unreliable “tomorrow”. Never better than now.
The story here is told in flashbacks: a young man, Oliver, remembers his father Hal, who had been married for decades and only came out after the death of his wife. At seventy years old, Hal finally decides to live for himself, but suddenly hears a terrible diagnosis - cancer. And currently, Oliver is trying to build a relationship with a pretty French woman, who is often forced to remain silent due to laryngitis. And Oliver’s mother sometimes fell into psychosis, so it was very difficult to support an affair for the son of a closeted gay man and an emotionally unstable woman - there was no healthy example.
And the film seems to be made about sheer pain and injustice, but the characters treat all the difficulties and cruelties with philosophical irony, and the audience can only surrender to the undying optimism of the characters.

The family comedy by Chris Columbus is good on its own, but what makes it truly cult is the incredible performance of Robin Williams. The actor took full advantage of the creative freedom given to him and constantly improvised, and the director could only film his amazing antics.
