Based on a true story and co-writen by the protagonists’ son, The Green Book by Peter Farrelly is the best movie of the year according to the Oscars, the audience and the critics. In this road movie about friendship, Viggo Mortensen portraits Tony Vallelonga, a hot-tempered Italian-American nightclub bouncer hired by Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) in 1962 to drive and give him some thuggish protection on a concert tour through the segregated American South.
The Favourite

The Hollywood’s conquest by the enfant terrible of Greek cinema Yorgos Lanthimos was just a matter of time. More calm and austere than in the previous works Lobster (2015) and The Sacrifice of a Sacred Deer (2017), but keeping intact his very particular sense of macabre humour, Lathimos surprises and engages the audience with this satirical and historical movie about the Queen of England. Tremendous acting game, where Olivia Colman shines by herself, as well as the villainies performed by the Stone / Weisz duo.
Glass

Sequel to “Unbreakable” and “Split” by M. Night Shyamalan. “Glass” goes on from follows in the footsteps of David Dunn (Bruce Willis) in his quest for the superhuman figure of “The Beast”. Meanwhile, Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) seems to emerge as a key figure who knows the secrets of both. The director manages to unite the two former films to present this entertaining delivery where the power struggle of the old protagonists is combined. The classic superhero (Bruce Willis) vs. the schizophrenic antihero (James McAvoy, brilliant performance) and a perverse brain (Samuel Jackson) that will try to devise a plan inside a madhouse to bring new superhéroes to life.
