H H May 1 Thoroughly enjoyable. Unpredictable. Funny. Thought-provoking. Visually beautiful. Fluid direction. A charming dystopian tale. Highly recommended.

Great script, acting performances and cinematography. No wonder it won the awards it has. As my age is almost identical to this film’s subject I was rooting for her all the way!

The film begins with a powerful and thought provoking premise, a system that measures human worth by productivity. Its emotional core is carried by a sincere and layered central performance. However, the narrative becomes fragmented in the second half, losing some of its dramatic focus. A poetic and heartfelt journey that stumbles in structure but lingers in meaning.

This is a very visual film set along a Brazilian river, acted brilliantly by the main actor, but also featuring the ongoing characters of life's adventure, taking risks, and trusting where life's coursing river will take you if you let yourself ride its boat. Some may find the film slow, but this is a great work of art which you must settle in and similarly trust where it will take you to be caught in its spell.

Acabei de assistir e estou impactado, sem palavras. Há cenas belíssimas neste filme, que certamente ficarão marcadas na minha memória: os barcos cortando as águas dos rios entre florestas e populações ribeirinhas; as aves voando no céu azul; a paisagem distópica brasileira construída de forma crível e criativa; os peixes brigando em uma casa de apostas. Gabriel Mascaro nos entrega um filme sensível, impactante e imersivo, que toca fundo ao escancarar as fragilidades e angústias da terceira idade. Ao mesmo tempo, é inspirador a forma como a protagonista, vivida pela EXCEPCIONAL Denise Weinberg, corre atrás do seu sonho. Um dos melhores filmes que já assisti. Indicarei para o máximo de pessoas que puder. E digo com certeza: merecia ter concorrido ao Oscar. See more Read all reviews
