Kicking off the Summer with 'Malibu Rescue'
A trouble-making teenager spends the summer working at a Southern California beach learning about responsibility.

In 1980s Bacolod, at the height of Martial Law, Teopisto—a principled yet warmhearted barber known for his strictness and gentle hands—works in a once-prestigious barbershop. Within its wall’s, customers from all walks of life reveal their quiet anxieties, loyalties, and doubts—turning each haircut into a glimpse of a nation in turmoil. As the conversations deepen and tensions rise, Teopisto’s long-held neutrality begins to crack as he is pulled into the very currents of change he once chose to ignore.

This coming-of-age movie is about a group of girl trying to find their missing friend after a wild night none of them can remember.
The film illustrates the life of a single who struggles to provide an ideal childhood for her two daughters.
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
Produced by Vanguard Animation and released on Netflix, this animated fairytale movie has a lot of ironies as the story is told by the prince himself.
