Polish crime drama following an undercover agent who poses as a prostitute in order to infiltrate the mafia. The further in she goes, the closer she gets to the mafia boss, his daughter, and other key figures within the organization. There's so many twists and turns throughout the movie with more violence. Some scenes well-shot with some excellent camera work.

Gachi-Boshi is a drama focusing on the life of Hamajima, a former professional baseball player dismissed from his team. After being thrown into an abyss of anguish, he is trying to start over as a professional cyclist after becoming separated from his family due to gambling, debt and infidelity. This movie shows how this middle-aged loser makes a fresh start, suffering, struggling and trying to crawl out of the depths of despair. There is an interesting contrast between the characters in the movie: promising teenaged students of the cycling school and the middle-aged Hamajima, who fights to overcome his frustrations.

The acceptance of LGBT community is one of the most talked about issues in today’s world. And in a country like India where people are much more conservative of talking about sex and sexuality, the Tamil movie “My Son Is Gay” is a bold statement with some powerful messages about acceptance, tolerance, and the right of marginalized people to live with dignity in the mainstream of society. Anupama Kumar performed well.

Even though poot poor plot story's telling is simplicity and directness are a big part of its charm. Wanuri Kahiu's tender tale of first lesbian love is modest, flawed and valuable.
