What’s landing in theaters today
Today’s slate in Spain is a delicious mix: an inspirational sports biopic, family-friendly Halloween chaos, and a stranger-than-fiction romantic fable. Short, snappy, and wildly different — something for pretty much every mood.
Karateka — the comeback story you’ll cheer for
This one follows Sandra Sánchez, a karate practitioner who refused to accept the “no” stamped on her file. Instead of bowing out, she kept showing up, training, and quietly rewriting expectations. The film celebrates grit, patience, and the absurd joy of proving doubters wrong.
Expect sequences that showcase athleticism and focus rather than cheap dramatics — it’s less about flashy Hollywood clichés and more about the slow, steady climb to legend status. If you like sports films with heart and a real-life underdog at the center, this is your ticket.
Shaun the Sheep: Pumpkin Mission — Halloween goes haywire
Third time’s the charm for the farm’s woolliest troublemaker. Halloween hits the pasture, the Farmer accidentally wrecks the pumpkin crop, and Shaun turns into a makeshift mad scientist to save the day. Predictability? Not here. Chaos and visual gags rule.
This is pure family-friendly slapstick: no dialogue-heavy monologues, just visual comedy, clever set pieces, and a lot of physical mayhem. Perfect for kids, parents who secretly love animated silliness, and anyone who wants a sugar-boost of laughs with their popcorn.
Wicker — a cheeky, offbeat take on love and convention
If you like your comedies off-kilter, Wicker delivers a weirdly charming fable about desire, marriage and social rules. Olivia Colman plays a marginalized fisherwoman who commissions a craftsman (Peter Dinklage) to build her a literal wicker husband, brought to life by Alexander Skarsgård. It’s a premise that’s odd in the best way.
The film leans into satire and playful absurdity — there are a few blink-and-you-miss-it risqué gags and an intentionally awkward romantic setup, but it’s all played for laughs and social commentary rather than titillation. Expect strong performances and a tone that’s part fairy tale, part social roast.
Pick your vibe
Want inspiration and real grit? Go Karateka. Need family-friendly Halloween chaos? Shaun’s your sheep. Craving something strange, smart and a little saucy? Wicker’s waiting. All three show why late-October releases can swing wildly — and that’s exactly the fun of a cinema day like today.
