Around the Web

  • A film of everyone, and above all, for everyone. For those who survived, for those who keep fighting. And, most of all, for those who insist on dreaming.
    Robledo Milani on Papo de Cinema
  • A universal film made by and about the periphery of Belo Horizonte. Wonderful, funny, powerful, and deeply authentic to Minas Gerais. Above all, a film about affection and family that I believe everyone should watch.
    Laura Damasceno on AdoroCinema
  • With a film so consciously anchored in its time, it would be easy for a less skilled filmmaker to slip into political proselytizing or plunge into melodrama. Fortunately, Martins stays far clear of that trap by focusing on character development, making every family member thematically vital in their frustrations and contradictions.
    Eduardo Pereira on Omelete
