God's Own Country
Indian cinema
Fahad Fazil lands in Kerala with his baby daughter requires some quick money that would free his wife (Isha Talwar) who has been jailed by the Dubai police. Sreenivasan, a public prosecutor is on his way to the court, to ensure that the accused in a rape case that has rocked the state are not let scotfree. Lal, a taxi driver by profession is on a desperate hunt to amass big money that would get his sick daughter on the surgery table. Lena, terribly distressed wife of a politician (Nandu), would stop at nothing until she sees to it that her vicious and inhuman husband is brought to book. The rest of the movie is about whether all of them had their respective wishes fulfilled.
The Other Side of Hope
Independent
This wry, melancholic comedy from Aki Kaurismäki, a clear-eyed response to the current refugee crisis, follows two people searching for a place to call home. Displaced Syrian Khaled (Sherwan Haji) lands in Helsinki as a stowaway; meanwhile, middle-aged salesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) leaves behind his wife and job and buys a conspicuously unprofitable seafood restaurant. After Khaled is denied asylum, he decides not to return to Aleppo— and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously. As deadpan as the best of the director’s work, and with a deep well of empathy for its downbut-not out characters (many of them played by members of Kaurismäki’s ever-reliable stock company), The Other Side of Hope is a bittersweet tale of human kindness in the face of official indifference.
The Way He Looks

When Gabriel, the new kid in town, teams with Leo on a school project, new feelings blossom in him that make him reconsider his plans. Meanwhile, Giovana, grows jealous of this new found companionship as tensions mount between her and Leo.
