Kardec

If I were to rate the above film on general criteria, including technical merit, the film would get 6 stars.

However, since I am heavily involved in spirituality, due to the SUPPORT of the above mentioned subject in the film industry, I give the film Kardec a full rating.

That's all from my side. Thank you to the filmmakers for this film.

It could be a very good movie, it has a good plot, but it's a terrible. The acting is horrible and the speak lines aren't even close of real. The protagonist does not seem to have faced any real problems. Per example, there's a scene which there's a problem to resolve and a group of people are talking about this very calm, more than necessary, and one person appears "shouting" saying "calm down!" but everybody already is calm. I don't understanding why the people are giving good rates to it.

A brazilian movie about a french writer? Hell, why not? But I think there are tons of subjects or stories that could be more interesting. It's sadly because the production values are very good, but the script, the dialogues, the story itself is laughable and flat. The director tried to give us a melodramatic movie in order to to feel empathy for Karnec, but it really just makes us feel, meh. Next.

I don't like most foreign films, but this was surprisingly well-done. Beautiful backgrounds. Good acting. Decent pacing of the movie throughout.

I was already a fan of Kardec's work, so I found the movie facinating.

If I didn't know Kardec's work, I would probably find this to be simply an interesting period piece about some spiritual phenomenon in 19th-century France.

It's the origin story of a religion/philosophy called Spiritism that has become very influential in Brazil.

Photography portraying Paris in 1800 ensures the success of the film It shows how the codification of the Spiritist doctrine happened through the hands of a teacher who did not believe in the manifestations of the Spirits.
