Primos

What a wonderful movie ! It was such a joy to watch a lighthearted gay themed movie with a happy ending. I would love to see more movies like this being made. There is a great chemistry between the two lead actors Paulo Sousa (Lucas) and Thiago Cazado (Mario) which was incredibly believable. The Aunt (Juliana Zancanaro) was really funny and topped off a perfect film. I highly recommend Primos (Cousins) if you want to watch a perfect, gay themed feel good movie.

I watched this on Vimeo's On Demand service and it was great to see so many positive comments.

The movie is so sweet, especially with the actors, chemistry between lucas and mario was fantastic. No intense drama, no akward plot twist just pure sweet romantic and lovely portrayals of young gay love in the midsts of christian values and catholic customs and the challange of acceptance. A must watch

...when talking about "Cousins". These two are about as closely related as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip so please get over it. If the film had been called "Siblings" I could understand. This is a wonderfully sweet, funny and uplifting film that pokes fun at small-town life in Brazil in which religion seems to be the only thing going on. You can feel the attraction between these two boys from the first minute they're together. It's not a question of "if" but "when". And, unlike in Hollywood this film isn't afraid to show that when people have sex they're naked and they have bodies. Hollywood might make this film, but it would definitely remove the male nudity. Thankfully, Brazilians are not so uptight. Please go see this film and take any small-town, religious relatives you may have with you.

Two cousins meet and house sit for a mutual aunt who is off on a trip. It does not take long for the boys to be attracted to each other and to begin a sweet relationship. This film is funny, romantic and very sexy. There are religious bigots minding everyone else's business, a shrewish ex girlfriend of one of the boys and a switch on the old idea that religion condemns "the gays" when a critical few of them see the young men's love for each other as a good example to others. And so on. The young men are very attractive and sexy because they are so real and present in their roles. Delightful.

But definitely not a good one either. There is always an "amateur" vibe on the plot, on extra actors, and even on main actors on some parts. Picture, camera angles and soundtrack are pretty good and overall message is a good one too. I understand where this movie aimed, and it's ok, but Brazilian cinema certainly has movies which aimed much higher.
