Movies that can be seen on February 20

February 20, 2026 arrives with a varied selection to sit quietly in front of the screen: from the political thriller and historical memory of The secret agent by Kleber Mendonça Filho to the uncompensated but curious dramatic comedy of Offline by Bradley Cooper, passing through the desolate look at the war in 2000 meters to Andriivka by Mstyslav Chernov (in Filmin) and the documentary portrait of myth and animal militancy in Bardot by Alain Berliner (on Movistar+).

Although it exceeds two and a half hours, this excellent film made with as much art and craft as social commitment is very enjoyable. Set in Brazil in the 70s, during carnivals in the context of the military dictatorship, the protagonist is a persecuted teacher who tries to reunite with his son, in the care of his grandparents. Very good rhythm and photography that evokes an era, not only shows the violence rooted in that society and its gratuitousness, but also the fragile memory or disinterest in the past among the direct descendants of the victims of those iron years. Its director is also the director of the excellent “Doña Clara (Aquarius)”.

This dramatic comedy pivots on an idea: the man of a couple in the process of divorcing goes into the mountains and tells of his emotional ups and downs in a bar with a live comedian show. From there, an engagement script with group sequences with the couple's friends – which do not work in the dramatic story – and others of the couple's discussions, very predictable and well-known, but surely demanded by actress Laura Dern's agent so that it would have more weight. The result is very uneven and the viewer ends up with the conviction that there was an original dramatic comedy if the indicated idea had been thoroughly exploited, with the bittersweet sequences of making humor out of the emotional debris and the doubt of to what extent modesty is maintained by making a spectacle of the couple's conflict.

2000 meters to Andriivka (Mstyslav Chernov, 2025) (Filmin)

The objective of conquering a strategic village in the hands of the Russian army that has occupied a fifth of Ukraine lacks any warrior epic. Over the course of three months, small platoons of soldiers advance through a forest of squalid, charred trees that serves as a safe corridor in the middle of fields littered with mines. Many lose their lives, everyone has seen the corpses of enemy soldiers. Director Chernov, awarded for his previous work “21 Days in Mariupol”, may have wanted to denounce the Russian invasion and praise heroism, but the result is discouraging: the conquered village returned to Russian hands and a soldier wonders to his companions if the war would last all their lives.

Bardot (Alain Berliner, 2025) (Movistar+)

It is clear in this documentary that, before being an actress, Brigitte Bardot was an erotic myth of the sixties, very free and very capable of enjoying her body and exhibiting that enjoyment; and it is also clear that, after being an actress, she has been a fighter against abuse and for animal welfare. A valuable work for those interested in BB, although it tells us very little about his profession as an interpreter. (For mercy's sake, let's leave aside his political opinions of late.)
