Pelis that are seen on September 19, 2025

The September 19 billboard arrives loaded with proposals as varied as exciting: from The first school by Éric Besnard – a portrait about the importance of education and female challenge in the France of the late nineteenth -, to sentimental comedy My friend Eva of Cesc Gay, where the dilemmas of mature love and the charism of its cast seduce the viewer. The historical drama The captive Alejandro Amenábar immerses us in the prison of Cervantes in Algiers and his power to imagine liberating fictions, while The Garden Delights by Fernando Colomo explores with humor the creative and family tensions. Independent cinema is claimed with On Falling of Laura Carreira, and the social drama with Small Things Like Thesestarring Cillian Murphy. Finally, pandemic and human miseries are approached in Eddington of Ari Aster, saturating the screen of characters and intense situations.

The first school (Éric Besnard, 2025)

The original title reproduces the name of the protagonist, Louise Violet, on which the whole story pivotes, both in her dramatic becoming and in the ideological background. At the end of the 19th century, when the French Republic makes the school mandatory, a teacher of progressive convictions arrives in a high mountain town. The contrast between the city and the rural environment, the tradition and the ideas of modernity, is the first challenge for this teacher, to which the recognition of the value of education and knowledge is added, that people discover the importance of school. In addition, Violet has to be respected as a woman and as a teacher, which is not easy in the patriarchal environment. I think it is a film that gives a lot of itself and its actuality is in force in times of post -truth and manipulation.

My friend Eva (Cec gay, 2025)

Surely we will talk about Woody Allen about this romantic comedy without taking into account the film's trajectory with the director, who has resounding works such as “Krampack”, “fiction” and, above all, “Truman”. Eva arrives at fifty -a dumb arrow on a work trip to Rome makes her see that she is no longer in love with her husband, which is why she separates. Friends do not understand it well, nor their family. It spends a year giving tumbos until fate/Cupid puts it again. Cesc Gay does an impeccable job, like the actors. A fresh comedy, with emotion that, says nothing new, but is enjoyed a lot.

The captive (Alejandro Amenábar, 2025)

Amenábar continues his apology in pursuit of tolerance and coexistence between religions and hetero and homosexuals that were in “agora”. The years of prison of Cervantes in Algiers serve this matter and to show – the best of the film – the pleasure of the narration and its ability to imagine fictions that free us from the cruel reality. With impeccable atmosphere, realization and cast (stuffing and tejero stand out) the purpose of the film needed a less classic treatment and underline the condition of self -conscious story, although there will be satisfied spectators. It cost me “to enter” the story that was rewarded and repetitive, rather destined for oblivion.

The Garden Delights (Fernando Colomo, 2025)

Almost half a century after his first feature film, Fernando Colomo continues in the gap and gives us a comedy that I enjoyed very much, laughing at several times. With his son Paul writes and interprets a story in which they make a father (Fermín) and son, both painters, as in reality. With economic problems, Fermín aspires to an award for versioning “The Garden of Delicias” of El Bosco, but his pulse fails and does not want to return to figurative painting, now that he makes “Pollocks.” There is a stimulating mockery of creation, the art market, auctions and the general culturet posture in general to show the fragility in the end, we stay with difficulty.

Small Things Like Thesand (Milhard Tim, 2025)

Claire Keegan's brief novel serves a complaint story with the absolute prominence of Cillian Murphy, a very versatile and solid actor, who can make the same father with a moral commitment, like here, that of ruthless Gánster as in “Peaky Blinders.” Set in the 80s, he tells the story of a coal, father of five daughters, and involuntary witness, in a convent of nuns, of the humiliation to which single mothers are subjected to those who snatch their children. Told in convincing minor tone, it is worth this story very close in time.

On Falling (Laura Carreira, 2024)

Rolled in Scotland by the Portuguese director and protagonist, it shows all the characteristics of independent and militant independent cinema by telling the story of a girl, used in a distribution center, with alienating work, and her deplorable housing conditions and social relations. Everything is very expository, without a specific conflict or a specific complaint, giving account of the survival lives of European emigrants in the continent itself.

Eddington (Ari Aster, 2025)

It has traces of powerful cine, with the microcosm of a town of New Mexico during the pandemic where social neuras and miseries of types of showing power are embodied. There are good actors, interesting situations and characters with claw, however … as in paella, the quality of the ingredients does not guarantee the result. Here the unique director and screenwriter should have looked for other opinions. However, you can see.
