Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
During the rise of fascism in Mussolini's Italy, a wooden boy brought magically to life struggles to live up to his father's expectations.

“I Can't Do Nothing” deals with the relationship between Erika and her mother, who returns to her daughter's house in the interior of Minas Gerais in a region known for intense mining. Ill, the mother suffers from a terminal illness. The days pass, relationships become more difficult, and the cinema operates. It is a labyrinthine reading of the relationship between mother and daughter, forming a kind of mobile mystery, the only way out there to look where nothing can be seen: death.

One of THE most frustrating trends in the mainstream film industry over the last several decades has been the onset of comedy efforts that seem SO focused on being crude and/or gross-out in all ways possible. That, at least for me, makes them no longer funny.
This emotional, frightening, and dreamlike story examines the ways actresses are exploited in the name of art.
Halle's belting, crystal clear notes, and warm tone infused something into this blockbuster that I thoroughly enjoy.
