Documentary films are a special genre that immerses you in the lives of other people. Allows you to feel and even live a little with them. Some heroes evoke sympathy, you fall in love with someone forever, you admire someone, the interesting thing is that it is impossible to remain indifferent. So, five paintings.

“Jackie.”

This is the story of Jacqueline Kennedy, played by Natalie Portman. You have a great opportunity to plunge into the life of the first lady of the United States and experience everything that happened to her after the murder of her husband.

History is always shrouded in secrecy, and such events on a global scale are even more so. It's always interesting to understand what kind of person is behind all this? What's on his mind? Who's nearby? When you penetrate deep into what is happening, you understand the meaning of certain actions of the hero.

“Iris.”

There is no woman who does not know Iris, or at least her image - round glasses and giant jewelry. The painting “Iris” is about a unique 92-year-old woman, Iris Apfel. She is a collector and designer with a wonderful sense of style that she shares with the whole world. Her energy absorbs everyone around her, people nearby fall in love with her. A person “glows” from within and infects the world around him with this light. It's nice to see happy people!

“Coco before Chanel.”

Who would have thought that the style icon, the famous Coco Chanel (Audrey Tautou), grew up in an orphanage. And her path to fame and recognition was very difficult. The filmed biography “Coco before Chanel” will tell how from a poor little girl she turned into a legend.

Chanel valued freedom most of all, which is probably why she never got married. Although there were many men in her life.

“Frida.”

Another film that is worth your attention. The story of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), who was involved in an accident at the age of 18. The resulting injuries tormented the girl all her life, but this did not break her spirit. She continued to draw, even in her hospital bed.

How to maintain such strength of spirit? Don't lose faith? Women are amazing creatures!

“Diana: A Love Story.”

Princess Diana, the most popular woman of her time, conqueror of people's hearts. She was admired and loved, idolized and imitated. This picture will tell you about the most important thing, about love! To whose love Diana gave herself completely, did this really lead to her death?

Love is a feeling that makes people ready to do crazy things. And it doesn’t matter who you are, a princess or an ordinary person. The mind gives way to emotions and the future becomes unpredictable.

The Other Woman (2014)

Director: Nick Cassavetes Starring , Leslie Mann, Kate Alton

Our list today opens with a comedy film from America, released in 2014. The film premiered at the International Film Festival in Amsterdam.

The plot will tell us the story of one girl who started a relationship with a married man, but was eventually betrayed by him with his other mistress. And now, two girls team up with the guy's wife to take revenge on the ladies' man.

The film didn't turn out very well. The plot is banal, and its presentation leaves much to be desired. Movies with a “knitted female team” usually attract a lot of sarcastic criticism and this picture is no exception.

The selection continues with another musical film nostalgia. A guy named Malik finds himself in an alternate reality where no one knows about Harry Potter, Coke, or the Beatles. Malik, who in his reality was a disposable canape musician from corporate parties and weddings, understands that in the new world he has a chance to become a real rock star. But at the peak of popularity, the guy suddenly realizes that this is not why the Beatles sang - all you need is love.

Frozen from Miami (2008)

Director : Jonas Elmer Starring : Renee Zellweger, Siobhan Felon, Frances Conroy

Second place in the list of the best films for a good mood is taken by a film from director Jonas Elmer, originally from America. The main roles in this film were played by Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.

The story of the film tells us about a girl, Lucy Hill, who loves dresses, warm weather and is quite happy with life in Miami. But one day she is sent to the distant and cold lands of Minnesota on a business trip.

The film turned out to be mediocre. The idea of the film is quite banal and even good acting could not raise the film above average. Critics and audiences reacted to the film with restraint and Minnesota coldness. We also advise you to familiarize yourself with the list of comedy films, the best of their genre.

Lady Bird

7.0/10 KinoPoisk Rating

A touching and heartfelt film about a teenage girl who dreams of breaking out of her provincial town in order to achieve something truly significant in her life. The drama raises many problems that are typical of youth, but does not stop there. Ideal for both solo viewing and family evenings. “Lady Bird” reveals really important topics: the desire for leadership and popularity, gender relations, misunderstanding between children and parents, and much more. If you like light, but at the same time emotional films, then “Lady Bird” will certainly impress you.

2005 year

Pretend to be my boyfriend (2013)

Director : David Moreau Cast : Virginie Efira, Pierre Ninet, Charles Berlin

And in third place on our list is a film whose original title is “20 Years Difference.” The film was directed by David Moreau, and the world premiere of the film took place in January 2013.

The plot of the film tells about the editor of a glossy magazine, Alice Lantens. She is quite successful in her work, ambitious, and has a reputation as an “iron lady.” But, one day she had to start an affair with an 18-year-old guy.

The film received muted but mostly positive reviews. This is a good comedy with a non-banal plot. The acting was very good, which was noted by numerous reviews from both critics and viewers.

He and she

Mr & Mme Adelman

7.4/10 KinoPoisk Rating

The film is unusual in that it covers a significant period in the lives of the main characters - 45 years. During this time, a lot of things happened to them, and in the end you have to see whether they managed to maintain their feelings. It cannot be said that this melodrama is only about love. It is also about life - with its ups and downs, self-discovery, disappointments, good books, losses, fun and much more. “He and She” is an excellent choice for viewers who prefer quality cinema that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.

2007

Killers (2010)

Director: Robert Luketic Starring: Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher

The fourth place on our list today goes to the American comedy of 2010. The film stars Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher. And the slogan of the film: “Their ideal marriage can only be saved ....”

The story tells us about Spencer, a professional killer who, during one mission, meets a girl and gives up his job for her. But many are not satisfied with this, and they announce a reward for his head.

The film turned out to be quite good, it is full of humor and good plot twists. And the acting only emphasizes the motive of the film. In general: critics and viewers were pleased with this film project.

Beginners (2010, USA)

Genre:

drama, comedy
Director and screenwriter:
Michael Mills (“20th Century Women”)
Cast:
Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Christopher Plummer (“A Beautiful Mind,” “Knives Out”), Melanie Laurent (“Now You See Me”)
KinoPoisk:

IMDb:

A film in which worthy people live ordinary lives and make the audience not only smile, but also respect. And there will also be a good reminder that you shouldn’t put off your life on a dusty shelf “later” or an unreliable “tomorrow”. Never better than now.

The story here is told in flashbacks: a young man, Oliver, remembers his father Hal, who had been married for decades and only came out after the death of his wife. At seventy years old, Hal finally decides to live for himself, but suddenly hears a terrible diagnosis - cancer. And currently, Oliver is trying to build a relationship with a pretty French woman, who is often forced to remain silent due to laryngitis. And Oliver’s mother sometimes fell into psychosis, so it was very difficult to support an affair for the son of a closeted gay man and an emotionally unstable woman - there was no healthy example.

And the film seems to be made about sheer pain and injustice, but the characters treat all the difficulties and cruelties with philosophical irony, and the audience can only surrender to the undying optimism of the characters.

Christopher Plummer won the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

That Awkward Moment (2014)

Director: Tom Gormican Starring : Zac Efron, Miles Tuller, Jessica Lucas

The 2014 comedy from Tom Gormiken takes the sweet spot on our list. Starring Zac Efron, Miles Tallero and Michael B. Jordan. The film premiered in January 2014.

The plot of the film tells about three friends who, after the failure of one of them with a girl, decide to forever erase the opposite sex from their lives and make other plans. But, as always, love intervenes when it is not expected.

The film received average but generally positive reviews. A good cast and selection of the acting team was able to “pull out” the not entirely successful plot of the film and generally balance the picture.

In the middle of the last century, Julia Child revolutionized American cooking: she taught women from the states to cook something other than turkey for Christmas and macaroni and cheese the other 364 days of the year. Well, jokes aside, Julia really opened up a fundamentally new way of looking at cooking for American housewives when she published the book “Mastering the Art of French Cuisine.” The immersion in the land of fashion was so deep that some of the recipes in this culinary bible took up to ten pages. But the film is not entirely about that: this movie will tell how in the early 2000s, call center operator Julie Powell prepared real happiness based on Child’s cult book. A woman revitalized her tiny Ikea kitchen, learned to accept herself and looked at her husband in a new way. Well, she became famous thanks to her blog, in which she talked about how “beef bourguignon” and “tarte tatin” were born among Chinese delivery and McDonald’s.

Trailer:

A calm and pleasant film about two women who prove that true love and good cuisine are beautiful in any era.

There is hardly a person who at least once would not like to relive some of his happy moments. Graduation, wedding, travel to another country, first kiss, the day when a loved one returned from the hospital, trip or army. It would be cool to be able to go back in time to re-experience the emotions of such events (just without the excesses, like in Black Mirror). Max, the main character of this film, has been filming his life since the age of thirteen and, on the threshold of his fortieth birthday, decided to rewind his biography from the very beginning. The memories displayed on the screen look completely different from those in memory, and a twenty-year family chronicle pushes Max to deep introspection and an attempt to correct mistakes that the man had no idea about before.

Children are not a hindrance to sex (2012)

Director : Jennifer Westfeld Starring : Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph, Jon Hamm

In eighth place today is a comedy film from director Jennifer Westfeldt, starring Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt. The world premiere took place at the Toronto Film Festival.

The film's plot tells the strange story of two friends Jason and Julie, who believe that children kill romance in any relationship. And one day they decide to have a child, because logically they have nothing to lose.

The film wasn't very interesting. Although the idea is original, alas, the filmmakers were unable to implement it and transfer it to the screen. Even professional acting could not raise the films above the average level.

PS I love you

PS I Love You

7.7/10 KinoPoisk Rating

The plot of this romantic melodrama tells about a married couple - Jerry and Holly. They live a happy and fairly serene life, but one day tragedy strikes. Jerry dies, and now his lover has to find the strength to cope with this loss. Holly begins to lose her zest for life, but fate has an unexpected surprise in store for her.

Promising does not mean getting married (2008)

Director: Ken Kuo Starring : Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson

The 2008 romantic comedy is now in ninth place on our list. The plot of the film was based on the book of the same name, written by the writers of the TV series Sex and the City.

The film will tell us fascinating and romantic stories of several people - the main characters. They all live in Baltimore and are between 20 and 30 years old. And they all want the same thing - to find love.

The film adaptation of the book turned out to be decent. It didn’t have enough stars from the sky, but as a film of its “weight category” and genre, the picture turned out to be quite good. A good selection and performance of actors deserve recognition from both viewers and critics.

Women and career

Many men still think that a career is not that important for women. I present to you a selection that proves the opposite.

"The Devil Wears Prada".

One of the most stylish and fashionable films. Reveals all the intricacies of the life of a fashion magazine. The main character Andrea (Anne Hathaway) dreams of becoming a famous journalist, because she graduated from the university with honors. But he receives an invitation to an interview only from the editor-in-chief of a popular fashion magazine. Agreeing to the role of an assistant, the young girl had no idea what awaited her.

The film is a kind of school of life. After viewing it, you will learn how to build a personal life or advance your career.

“Frozen from Miami.”

Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger) lives in hot Miami, quickly climbs the career ladder, and loves luxury. But a business trip to snowy Minnesota knocks her out of her usual life. Moreover, it is cold here not only on the street, but also in the hearts of people.

Immersion in the world of a small town, where all the residents are like a big friendly family. Makes you think about relationships between people.

“Mona Lisa Smile.”

1953 America, Katherine Anne Watson (Julia Roberts), a young graduate, receives a position teaching art history at Wellesley Women's College. Realizing that patriarchy rules here, he is trying to change the existing foundations. Has a strong influence on female students and together they fight for gender equality.

Breaking a system is always difficult, and sometimes completely impossible. The main question is: can a woman combine family, work and be happy at the same time?

“Fear and Trembling.”

Japanese girl Amelie (Sylvie Testu) at the age of 5 moved with her parents to Belgium. But her heart remained in her homeland. Having matured, she gets a job as a translator at a large Japanese company. Admiring her boss Fubuki (Tsuji, Kaori), the woman tries to be like her in everything. But he doesn’t understand the gulf that separates the mentality of East and West.

Sometimes we draw an image of a person or model a situation in our heads and accept it as the truth. How bitter it is to be disappointed and understand that everything is completely wrong. That life is actually much more complicated than we would like.

"Good morning".

Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams) gives 100% to her job. She is a successful producer on a local television channel. Suddenly she is fired from her job, and her life goes downhill. Having settled into the show “Good Morning”, which is not popular, Becky invites the famous host Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford). But will this help improve the rating?

A person lives by work, devotes all his time to what he loves and gives his all. Purposeful people achieve success, no matter how difficult it is.

The Naked Truth (2009)

Director: Robert Luketic Starring : Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl, Bree Turner

Oath

The Vow

7.5/10 KinoPoisk Rating

The story that is told in melodrama is similar to a fairy tale, but, surprisingly, it is based on real events. It is very difficult to make a person fall in love again, and especially if he has completely forgotten you, but this is exactly what the main character of the film had to face. Paige has lost her memory after a car accident, but her husband Jonathan is willing to do anything to make her love him again. “The Oath” proves that there are no barriers to real feelings, and if people are destined to be together, then nothing can change this.

Why do women kill

The plot of the series unfolds in parallel in three time lines. Before us is a housewife and obedient wife from the 60s, a socialite played by the inimitable Lucy Liu from the 80s, and a lawyer from our time. Each one (not a spoiler) is cheated on by her husband, which ultimately leads to murder. But who is killed and why remains a mystery until the end of the series. And until the finale, the audience can only root for the heroines and enjoy the unexpected plot intricacies that are impossible to tear yourself away from.
