Cousins

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

The film has an interesting aesthetic, clearly had a good production, however, the performances leave the experience very distressing at certain times, almost like an amateur film for YouTube. The plot is simple, but still thought-provoking, with some unexpected and positive twists.

In spite of everything, I know that making cinema in Brazil is not easy and I congratulate you for that, for exposing yourself in this way and trying to do something that deviates from the standards.

Such a lovely film, everything, from the storyline the script the actors, all Brilliant!! Paulo Sousa is just Gorgeous, would love to see him in more similar movies, such a natural actor!! And Thiago Cadoza was the perfect foil to Paulo, one very outgoing and open the other repressed and wanting something to break him out of his funk!! The chemistry was excellent!! Lovwd Auntie Lourdes as well, stuck in her own religious well, not even knowing she was in need of something else!!

If you're in need of a Really Fun feel Good movie with an LGBTQI twist, this is for You.

ENJOY!!

9.5 Stars....Initially, at the beginning, I thought this was going to be a dim-witted comedy. By the end I loved it. In fact, I started watching again after the credits had rolled! As others have mentioned, the chemistry between Mario and Lucas was some of the most beautiful and realistic chemistry I have seen in any gay film anywhere. It reminded me of the French film Just A Question Of Love (2001) given the naturalness of the actors in Cousins. Both the main actors, Thiago Cazado; who also did a great job directing, and Paulo Sousa were both outstanding, and the actress who played Aunt Lourdes did a really fine job also. The writing was also excellent, as was the cinematography. Any hope of a sequel guys?

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.
