Each month, we recommend new releases, classics, or audiovisual content that you have not yet seen from your favorite platforms. This month, the recommendations focus on the adventures of a unique lizard and a beautiful story of humanity and vocation.
Leo
Adam Sandler expands his professional and dramatic range with an animated musical comedy about aging as seen through the eyes of a lizard. Leo is one of the mascots of a class of elementary school children, and when he discovers he has only a year to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside. Instead, he is chained to, and then devoted to, the students' problems.
Witty animations, catchy songs and excellent voice work from a cast led by Adam Sandler help Leo strike a nice balance between the satirical and the affectionate, which builds an uplifting message for the whole family.
Abbé Pierre
Born and raised Catholic, Henri Groues is determined to become a priest. The Second World War begins and he decides otherwise: he joins the Resistance.
Losing a friend on the battlefield, facing the horrors of war but the beauty and strength of brotherhood, Henri Groues emerges as a new man: Abbé Pierre.
From the end of World War II until his death in 2007, Abbé Pierre will live many lives and face many battles. Founder of Emmaus, he will fight for the homeless and give voice to those who are speechless.
Abbe Pierre is a beautifully crafted commercial dramatization of life aimed at a general audience, although it may err on the side of being coffee for very coffee drinkers.
