Welcome to your weekly cinema fix, Belgian film fans! This week (W19 of 2026) is stacked with stories that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe hide behind your popcorn. From a true-life Tourette’s triumph to a memory-wiped astronaut, let’s dive into the highlights.
⭐ 'I Swear' (8.33/10) — This drama-history hybrid follows John Davidson’s real-life journey from a Tourette Syndrome diagnosis at 15 to adulthood. Did you know? The actor spent months with Tourette patients to capture the tics authentically—no CGI shortcuts here. A must-see for its raw, honest portrayal of resilience.
⭐ 'Project Hail Mary' (8.2/10) — Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory. This sci-fi adventure, based on Andy Weir’s novel, is a mind-bending ride. Fun fact: The film’s zero-gravity scenes were shot using a mix of wires and a rotating set—no green screen!
🎬 'David' (8.09/10) — An animated family drama set to music, retelling the biblical underdog story. The animation style blends 2D watercolors with 3D, making Goliath look terrifyingly epic. Perfect for a family outing.
🎬 'Palestine 36' (8/10) — A historical drama set in 1936 Palestine, following Yusuf through British colonial tensions. Shot on location with local actors, it’s a gripping, timely watch.
🎬 'Hoppers' (7.6/10) — Kids will love this sci-fi comedy where humans ‘hop’ into robotic animals. Behind the scenes: The voice cast recorded in actual animal sanctuaries for authentic sounds!
🎬 'Hundreds of Beavers' (7.2/10) — Still playing! This silent-era-inspired comedy about a drunken applejack salesman turned trapper is a cult hit. Did you know? The beavers are played by actors in full-body suits—no CGI!
Our top picks: If you want depth, go for I Swear. For pure escapism, Project Hail Mary is unbeatable. And for a laugh, catch Hundreds of Beavers while it’s still here.
