Here's the official synopsis:

Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is content with life and comes at the world with a healthy scepticism. Despite this she encounters a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.

This is a problem because she is a scholar of narrative and knows all the cautionary tales about wishes gone wrong. He pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.

The Cannes International Film Festival will take place from 17 to 28 May 2022.

Starring Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis, Everything Everywhere All at Once will be released in cinemas in the US on March 25th.

Here are some reviews:

“Everything Everywhere does everything but buck your seats and spritz you with water, although I’m pretty sure the Daniels would be thrilled for the film to play in 4DX theaters that do just that. […] There are enough ideas in Everything Everywhere All at Once to fuel a dozen movies, or else a full-blown TV series, but the Daniels have shoehorned it all into a bombastic, emotionally draining 139 minutes”. (Peter Debruge, Variety).

“Everything Everywhere All at Once is a complex film that encompasses a variety of subjects, but it does justice to each of them with a carefully written script, marvelous performances, and a healthy dose of bizarre humor to counter its bleak story. Michelle Yeoh in particular gives a powerhouse performance in a story that puts a fresh, welcome spin on the idea of the multiverse”. (Rafael Motamayor, IGN).

“It's impossible to describe. It's unlike anything you've ever seen. It's the best American movie in years, and certainly the best movie to hit theaters since the pandemic began”. (Jacob Hall, Slashfilm).

“Here is an orgiastic work of slaphappy genius that doesn’t operate like a narrative film so much as a particle accelerator — or maybe a cosmic washing machine — that two psychotic 12-year-olds designed in the hopes of reconciling the anxiety of what our lives could be with the beauty of what they are”. (David Ehrlich, IndieWire).

“Ultimately, though, Everything Everywhere is best appreciated for its grandiose ambitions, bombarding the viewer with its frenetic style while telling a poignant story about an older woman trying to make peace with her not-so-wonderful life”. (Tim Grierson, Screen Daily).

Prorom will release Everything Everywhere All at Once soon in cinemas and VOD.

Struggling actor Cedric seems doomed to lead the life of a loser. He's broke and his girlfriend has dumped him. Even his own father, sister and best buddies have lost faith in his ability to do anything worthwhile. Then finally, he gets a lead role: the superhero “Badman“. A chance to pull himself out of an endless downward spiral and gain his father's respect. But fate strikes again!

Rushing off the set in full costume, Cedric has a car accident, loses his memory, and wakes up convinced he really is a superhero on mission! Confronted with real-life adventure and danger, his true nature is put to the test.

Does he have what it takes to tackle the forces of evil, defend the weakest among us and beat the bad guys? But you can't just decide to be a hero, let alone a superhero... especially someone like Cedric!

Directed by Philippe Lacheau, Superwho? stars Philippe Lacheau, Julien Arruti, Tarek Boudali, Élodie Fontan, Alice Dufour and Chantal Ladesou.

“In Superwho?, there’s an effect similar to the movie Kick-Ass, in the way Cedric’s character ends up becoming a hero in real life, by fulfilling his dream. I hope comic book fans will laugh as much as we do when they discover this young man who thinks he’s a superhero and see how we’ve brought his misadventures to life.” sais director and actor Philippe Lacheau.

Superwho? premieres in Romanian cinemas on February 25, distributed by Prorom and Ro Image.

In DOG, paired against their will, former U.S. Army Ranger, Jackson Briggs (Channing Tatum), and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois Army K9), race down the Pacific Coast to make it to their best friend’s funeral on time.

“DOG is a love story between two former elite warriors. One of whom happens to have four furry legs. On the surface, it’s a road-comedy about a hard-charging former soldier and an even harder-charging Belgian Malinois who hate each other’s guts yet get stuck traversing the entire western seaboard in a mad dash to make it to their best friend’s funeral on time.

Beneath that, it’s a story about vulnerability and learning to move on after tragedy and loss. It’s a personal exploration of strength; how, when faced with great adversity, we often toughen-up when we really need to open-up.

DOG explores the theme that surrendering is the only thing harder than fighting. And the only thing worth surrendering for is love.” says the Directors Reid Carolin si Channing Tatum.

Directed by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, DOG stars Channing Tatum, Q'orianka Kilcher, Emmy Raver-Lampman and Kevin Nash.

Prorom will release DOG in Romania on February 18th and Hungary on February 24th.

Directed by Peter Hutchings, The Hating Game stars Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell as two co-workers who start a rivalry that is complicated by her growing attraction to him.

Here are some reviews:

“Thorne’s novel might be best known for its hot-and-bothered sex scenes, but she also built a romance with real stakes and big emotion, and Hutchings and his stars translate that to the big screen with ease. Why can’t every rom-com make it look so easy?” (Kate Erbland – Indiewire).

“The film is very pleasant and manages to succeed in what many romantic comedies often fail to do — be entertaining and worth revisiting.” (Ferdosa Abdi - ScreenRant).

“For fans of best-selling novel by Sally Thorne, The Hating Game movie will satisfy – quite a feat given the cult status the novel has achieved, with its delicious sexual chemistry throughout, for which Lucy Hale and Austin Powell are supremely well cast. This is a film well worth a watch in the Christmas period.” (OffTheRecorduk.com).

“The Hating Game sticks to the rom-com playbook and delivers an enjoyable movie that anyone who watches should appreciate.” (Nathaniel Muir – aiptcomics.com).

Prorom will bring The Hating Game to theaters in Romania on December 17th and in Hungary on January 20th.
