Six Latinx movies to binge watch while you're recovering from your Thanksgiving feast
With Thanksgiving just days away — we see you Thursday, November 28 — we are finalizing the menus for our filial feasts and what we will be wearing to our salas.
But as our madres and tias plan out what we are eating and our tios and padres discuss who has the least amount of hair on their heads, us, los niños, will be watching some sweet old Netflix.
Below we’ve gathered some films that are great to watch entre la familia and some films that are better to watch without los ‘niños’ niños.
Coco
What it’s about: For those who have yet to see the vibrant animated film based around the vibrant Día de Muertos holiday, this movie focuses on the need to honor ones family and tugs at your heartstrings.
Bellas de Noche or Beauties of the Night
What it’s about: Bellas de Noche, or Queens of the Night, follows the story of five of the most famous showgirls in Mexico during the 1970s and 1980s (a time were nightclubs, cabarets and theaters dominated nightlife) as they reminisce on their past glory and fame.
Residente
What it’s about: Follow Residente, former of Calle 13, as he trots the globe learning more about the places he comes from and how his ancestors brought him to where he is today.
After having taken a DNA test, the 24-time Grammy Award-winning and Nobel Peace Summit Award recipient seeks to learn more about himself through the lens of others
Latin History for Morons
What it’s about: Although this one is a bit more historical, it’s definitely not for the kiddos.
John Leguizamo dives into the deep and heartbreaking history of Latinos in the Americas and traces 3,000 years of Latin History with his signature style of humor.
Cristela Alonzo: Lower Classy
What it’s about: Comedienne Cristela Alonzo tackles Latino stereotypes, social norms and her mother’s tough-love parenting style.
Cristela reminds everyone why she is a #bosschica and one of the top Latinx comedians to watch.
Pachamama
What it’s about: This one is for the whole familia. The writers of the film Pachamama weaved a beautiful and timeless journey-to-hero story about a boy who goes on an adventure to achieve something greater than he is and showing that we could all believe in a little more magic.
