From Director David O. Russel “Joy” is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces.

During 2 hours, this film will show the fake American dream. Despite she had an amazing grandma who believed in her and told her so every day, Joy is very kind and resourceful and has put everyone’s needs in front of her own, but one day she breaks down and remembers her true calling. Definitely a film that becomes very inspirational and a reminder to  pursue your dreams no matter how far you’ve strayed…Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen, Elisabeth Röhm and Dascha Polanco. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.

“Son of Saul,” from Hungarian-born director László Nemes’ and the story begins with Saul Auslander (Géza Röhrig) is a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners isolated from the camp and forced to assist the Nazis in the machinery of large-scale extermination.  While working in one of the crematoriums, Saul discovers the corpse of a boy he takes for his son.  As the Sonderkommando plans a rebellion, Saul decides to carry out an impossible task; save the child’s body from the flames, find a rabbi to recite the mourner’s Kaddish and offer the boy a proper burial.

The film was inspired by the book, Voices from Beneath the Ashes, eyewitness accounts by Sonderkommando members who buried their testimonies prior to their rebellion in 1944. According to director László Nemes:“Their accounts are concrete, present and tangible. They precisely describe, in the here and now, the ‘normal’ functioning of a death factory… its rules, work cadences, shifts, hazards, and its maximum productivity.”

A full of drama film  of a mass massacre. Saul reflects a pure father with a deep loss. Even the child of the protagonist is not his son at all– might, in Saul’s mind, redeem his forced treatment of all the others that came before him. Memes built a well structured character with an unusual neutral, accurate, powerful, without sensationalism with great sobriety and bravery of Saul Auslander (Géza Röhrig). Definitely “Son of Saul” is full of heartbreaking facts and emotionally devastating.

From director Paul McGuigan and James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe star in a dynamic and thrilling twist on a legendary tale. Radical scientist Victor Frankenstein (McAvoy) and his equally brilliant protégé Igor Strausman (Radcliffe) share a noble vision of aiding humanity through their groundbreaking research into immortality. But Victor’s experiments go too far, and his obsession has horrifying consequences. Only Igor can bring his friend back from the brink of madness and save him from his monstrous creation.

 During 109 minutes you will enjoy macabre images, with well structure violence and a sequence of destruction of some scenes. Daniel Radcliffe was given practical effects for his character. Even Victor Frankenstein is a movie mostly about Frankenstein failing to create his monster. A film will fit in a special category and capturing the essence of the horror.
