Movies that can be seen on January 30, 2026

January 30, 2026 arrives with a varied cinematographic offering that mixes unique biographies, intimate dramas and television tributes. Marty Supremeby Josh Safdie, dazzles with a seductive and trickster Timothée Chalamet, while Hamnetby Chloé Zhao, adapts Shakespeare's duel with tact and light with the sensitivity that the director brings to her stories. In another record, The left-handed girlby Shih-Ching Tsou, stands out as a social and generational portrait, as close as it is universal. From the national terrain, Paco León revisits Aida in meta key with There and backand the Argentine Laura Casabé shakes us with The Virgin of Tosqueraa powerful mix of realism and symbolic violence.

I am completely unaware of the figure of Marty Reisman, a curious guy, with quite a bit of a scoundrel and hustler, who won several ping-pong championships; Therefore, I don't know if this film is faithful or—what seems more likely—it invents a large part of the character. But it doesn't matter, because this Marty composed by Timothée Chalamet is fascinating, a real revelation and amazing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, the portrait of this seductive and deceitful guy cajoles us with its narrative agility—with no small amount of audiovisual carousel and an excessively conventional last section—and a composition of the character that does not reveal all the cards and takes him to fiction. At the same time, there are touches on post-war North American society and the occupation of Japan. It is a film that will be quite popular and I believe that it will be valued beyond its objective merits.

Hamnet (Chloé Zhao, 2025)

The story of this film and the recommendable novel of the same name by Maggie O'Farrell is a fiction that develops the historical event of the death of Hamnet, son of Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare. An initial poster explains that, at the time, the title is the same name as Hamlet, which leads the novelist to explain the creation of the “Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” as a response by the playwright to his immense pain. The Chinese director and screenwriter, in collaboration with O'Farrell, putting the characters' feelings first, do a good job, very heartfelt and suggestive in their poetry; Perhaps it lacks synthesis in the first section, but the final development in the Globe theater seemed brilliant to me.

The left-handed girl (Shih-Ching Tsou, 2025)

A small Taiwanese film that portrays a financially troubled family consisting of a mother and two daughters; The youngest, about five years old, is left-handed and her grandfather reproaches her that she should not use “the devil's hand.” In addition to reflecting survival with precarious and even naughty jobs, the traditional mentality that criminalizes single mothers if they have girls instead of boys and superstitions such as the exclusion of left-handed people are confirmed. In much of the footage, the camera is at the level of that girl who is discovering the world and assimilating the values ​​of adults as best she can, including the surprise at the end. The story works as a fresco of a social class in a country and a time, where the Western viewer has to immerse themselves to empathize with the characters.

There and back (Paco León, 2026)

Viewers who have enjoyed ten seasons (or less) of the series “Aída” or its predecessor 7 lives and the charismatic cast of actors/actresses who nurtured those soap operas will be very gratified with this feature film which, ultimately, is a tribute to that series and its characters. The resource now used for this is that the actors have to film the last episode of the season but Carmen Machi refuses to continue; This “cinema in the cinema” structure doesn't work very well. Those of us who have not been very followers of Aida We laugh at some jokes, but it doesn't make much sense.

The Virgin of Tosquera (Laura Casabé, 2025)

Maybe it doesn't say anything new, but we must recognize its style and innovative spirit in this drama about teenagers in the process of entering adulthood in a social context of poverty and violence, and almost horror film elements that fit well. Set at the beginning of this century, it talks about the Argentine economic crisis and the lack of hope among young people, as well as the consequences for the weakest, such as the child without a family. The cart with a beggar's supplies in the middle of the street without anyone cleaning it serves as a metaphor for that society. The protagonist develops an aggressiveness that would not occur in other circumstances. Strong and solid.
