Movies about grandparents and grandchildren to watch online

This simple one of the sweetest and most tender productions in recent times. It is a mockumentary that portrays the life of a small snail, animated in stop motion, who lives with her grandmother in a real Airbnb. Marcel (voiced by Jenny Slate) has a peculiar way of carrying his life, adapting all daily needs for someone of his size (which is really very small, barely 2 centimeters). His daily life is portrayed by Dean (played by the director of the film, Dean Fleischer Camp), an Airbnb guest who takes great interest in the universe of Marcel, and thus begins to document it and publish it on the internet, instantly turning him into a celebrity. Just the concept of "Marcel, the Shell with Shoes On" is already wonderful, and watching a little snail performing everyday tasks is already entertaining enough. But behind this creative story, the film still hides a huge heart. The story talks about family, belonging and overcoming adversity, in a narrative that flows between emotions, making us alternate between laughter and tears without even realizing it. A movie for adults, children, to watch as a family, as a couple or alone. Extremely likeable, funny and emotional, which will certainly please anyone.

With 'The Farewell', director Lulu Wang presents an intimate and very modestly budgeted dramedy, but with a truly powerful and different story than what we are used to seeing portrayed in cinema. Just like 'Crazy Rich Asians' did the same in the field of romantic comedy, this movie stays within the conventions of its genre, but from them it achieves an interesting contrast of the differences between the West and East on how to view life. In addition, Awkwafina's performance (better known for comedic roles in films such as 'Ocean's 8' and 'Jumanji: The Next Level') will move you. It was no surprise that she deserved the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy Movie.

In a filmography that includes big-budget fantasies ('Thor'), Shakespeare adaptations ('Hamlet') and literary classics ('Mary Shelley's Frankenstein'), 'Belfast' is director Kenneth Branagh's most personal work, inspired by his childhood memories of the Irish city where he was born and spent his early years. The story puts us with little Buddy (Jude Hill), a boy who lives happily with his family until the conflict in Northern Ireland in the 1960s breaks the peace in his neighborhood. So his parents start to consider the possibility of leaving the only home the family has ever lived in. 'Belfast's narrative is framed in Buddy's childish perspective, so there is an air of playfulness and innocence throughout the plot. The other side of the coin is that the issues around the conflict are not portrayed as deeply as they could be, and are poorly described in the script. In other words, don't expect a complex drama illustrating the political and social problems of Ireland at the time. On the contrary, 'Belfast' is a typical bittersweet "feel good movie" with good performances and an upbeat soundtrack.
