Aparição

Same problem as with most Portuguese movies: they get the pace all wrong. Some scenes are so unnecessarily long that they feel like the director ran out of ideas and decided to just waste some time. Acting is below par, specially Jaime Freitas. He sends out the gloomy mourning vibe alright, but with awkward dialogue with confusing emotions. I'm fact, dialogue suffers from the same ailment as most Portuguese movies: they're too theatrical, and mostly sound like they're declaiming something rather than interacting with each other. Didn't love the book, movie didn't make me like the story any better.
