The dramatist crafts confrontations like few others. The dialogue is razor-sharp, with nothing wasted in moments of conflict. Virtually all characters know exactly what they want to say, whether defending themselves or wounding their rival. Genuine motivation drives them—essential for screenwriting. Performances: if characters are cited as a strength, a core reason is the remarkable caliber of the acting.
Guilherme Rodrigues on Observatório da TV The author subjected men so thoroughly to the tyranny of his electronic matriarchy that there is hardly anything to say about them. They don't act; they merely appear on screen. Orestes, the poor devil played by Paulo José, is naturally the exception and, despite being tormented by the suburban hairdresser, possesses a dramatic life of his own thanks to the actor's great talent.
Fernando de Barros e Silva on Folha de S.Paulo Pure yet irresistible soap opera, Por Amor was a triumph, and the baby swap storyline captivated the entire country. “What would you do for love?” was the telenovela's launch campaign slogan. Por Amor showcased romantic missed connections, intrigues, schemes, and explosive confrontations that made up Manoel Carlos's rich dramatic universe.
