The 2019 German Film Festival features an impressive line-up of acclaimed works, including 25 km/hr, which lives up to its billing as a “feel-good comedy”.
25 km/h
Long Shot
Long Shot is a diligently virtuous romcom customised for the #MeToo era. Safe and predictable mainstream fare good for a few laughs.
The Good Girls
The Good Girls (original title Las niñas bien) is one of the most critically acclaimed films on the 2019 Moro Spanish Film Festival program. Mexican director Alejandra Márquez Abella brings a simmering rage to this portrait of an ostentatiously wealthy woman who falls from favour with her high-society set when her husband’s business runs into trouble during Mexico’s economic crisis of the 80s.
