'Homem com H' is one of the best biography docudrama's I have seen so far. The movie intelligently portrays the story of a well-respected brazilian artist by offering the audience a glimpse into his private life in a way that is coherent and entertaining, making us feel like we understand what is going on in Ney Matogrosso's head and why he becomes the iconic personality that he is today.

Jesuíta Barbosa's performance as Ney Matogrosso rivals that of Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury ('Bohemian Rhapsody') in it's thoughtfullness towards incorporating every mannerism and way of thinking that the real-life people they are portraying have. It is an honestly incredible, very much award-worthy performance that balances the line between being nuanced and overdramatized. The rest of the cast similarly does a phenomenal job in portraying their real-life counterparts without taking away the focus from the protagonist.

The movie is incredibly explicit, perhaps excessively so, but one must assume that it is an important and relevant part of Ney's life, and that his story could not have been told as faithfully without it. If you do not enjoy sex scenes, or gay sex scenes, this biography may not be for you, but otherwise it is a fascinating piece of biographical storytelling and an absolute must watch even for those who are not familiar with Ney Matogrosso - if nothing else, his music alone is sure to leave you with a good first impression as you walk out of the movie theatre.
