Já que Ninguém me Tira para Dançar

A generous documentary for a generous bright star. It is a film that succeeds in making spectator know who was Leila Diniz. However, differently from what is usually the expected, it is much more impressionist than careful in following her steps, big events, and detailed list of works. The documentary presents, instead, very personal testimonies of people who had closeness with her as friends and colleagues, besides pictures and footage. That mosaic constitutes a powerful and coherent portrayal of that strong, empathetic, loving, irreverent, intense, feminist, pioneer and brave artist and woman.
