Five years ago, bloodthirsty creatures burst into our reality through a rift between dimensions. While the remaining representatives of humanity struggle to survive, a father and his teenage daughter find refuge on a remote island. However, they soon realize that there is no longer a single corner of the planet that could be called safe. Despite this, the main characters refuse to give up and begin preparing for battle.
The film was directed by Brad Anderson, known for his work on "The Machinist" and the TV series "Peacemaker." Luke Evans plays the family's father, and Milla Jovovich plays one of the resistance figures. Filming took place against the backdrop of the impressive Northern Irish landscape, so even if you are not into post-apocalyptic action movies, it is worth paying attention to this film at least for the sake of the mesmerizing views of the mountains, misty landscapes and gloomy gorges.

France, late 1950s. Young film critic Jean-Luc Godard, full of confidence in his own uniqueness, begins work on his first film. He invites his friend Jean-Paul Belmondo to play the lead male role, and chooses rising Hollywood star Jean Seberg for the female role. To save money, many scenes were shot spontaneously on the streets without pre-written scripts, and sometimes filming stopped after just five minutes. Nevertheless, Godard managed to complete Breathless, which would later become a landmark work for both the French New Wave and world cinema as a whole.
Breathless represents Richard Linklater's homage not only to Jean-Luc Godard and his iconic film, but also to the entire cinematic movement that had a significant influence on the American director's development. In making his early films, such as Slacker and You Can't Learn to Plow by Reading, Linklater drew heavily on the style and approaches of New Wave masters such as Truffaut, Chabrol, and Godard. These directors were known for their relaxed shooting methods, energetic editing, and portrayals of heroes who rebel against the status quo.

Maxim, the son of an influential Moscow official, finds himself at the center of a scandal after witnessing or even becoming an accomplice to an incident at a nightclub that nearly left a man dead. Footage of the incident quickly spreads across social media, threatening his mother's career. To avoid any undesirable consequences and secure her re-election, she decides to send Maxim to a remote village until the dust settles. In his new home, the teenager constantly returns to the events of that fateful night, and ultimately decides to confront his guilt and come to terms with it.
"The Fire Boy" is Nadezhda Mikhalkova's second feature film. She previously released the less-than-successful horror film "Lost Place," which generally received negative reviews from critics. Perhaps, in the drama genre, Mikhalkova will be able to demonstrate her talents more confidently.
