A Rainha Diaba

As mentioned by other reviewers, "A Rainha Diaba" is striking in its visual design, costumes, and sense of place. These elements are one of the film's clear strengths.

Another great strength is in the film's understanding and depiction of the underworld. A vast percentage of the world's film and television is based on crime drama, but very little is realistic in portraying the social dynamics of crime. "A Rainha Diaba" is a great exception to this, and is realistic and believable in building society.

There are two big problems with the film as well however.

In the first place, the plot of the film is basically not compelling, and fails to engage the viewer. The ending in this regard is particularly unsatisfactory, being both emotionally unsatisfying, and unrealistic.

In the second place, much of the acting is unconvincing and fails to engage the viewer. Some people may be able to overlook these flaws, but those looking for a great story or absorbing entertainment should look elsewhere.
