New movies out this week: Feb 22-28

New releases that hit Thai cinemas for your viewing pleasure.

Close

Directed by Lukas Dhont.

Who's in it?

Eden Dambrine, Gustav De Waele and Émilie Dequenne.

What's it about?

The intense friendship between two thirteen-year old boys Leo and Remi suddenly gets disrupted. Struggling to understand what has happened, Léo approaches Sophie, Rémi's mother. "Close" is a film about friendship and responsibility.

Why watch it?

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Dhont's second film is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing. Phew! Be ready for those emotions to come forth. 

Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey

Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield.

Who's in it?

Gillian Broderick, Paula Coiz and Chris Cordell.

What's it about?

After Christopher Robin abandons them for college, Pooh and Piglet embark on a bloody rampage as they search for a new source of food. But this is not the cute bear you remember from your childhood. 

Why watch it?

It follows Pooh and Piglet, who have now become feral and bloodthirsty killers and embark on a murderous rampage, terrorising a group of women and an adult Christopher Robin when he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood five years later after leaving for college. These are the bear attacks you can handle!

Step Up To Runway  

Directed by Korraphat Thungsri

Who's in it?

Thitiwat Ritprasert and Alexandra Arida Mate.

What's it about?

The story of Alice, a young pianist who wants to find her mother, who is a world-class supermodel. 

Why watch it?

A "love" movie that inspires everyone to reach their "dreams". 

Cocaine Bear 

Directed by Elizabeth Banks.

Who's in it?

Ray Liotta, Keri Russell and Margo Martindale.

What's it about?

An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converges in a Georgia forest where a 227kg black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine.

Why watch it?

Though it may sound absurd, the movie is inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine and the black bear that ate it.
