    Masterpiece

    Wow. Brazilian actor-turned-director Selton Mello delivers one of the most beautiful movies ever made. The director's sensibility is shown in every single frame of the picture. The story is well conducted and incredibly acted by a talented cast. I've seen the director's other movies and you can observe his evolution as a story teller. In my opinion, the best director in activity in Brazil.

    A beautiful movie

    A very beautiful movie.

    Vincent Cassel was amazing as always.

    Johnny and Ondina was also great with their performance.

    Direction was good from Selton Mello.

    Vincent Cassel is one of the finest actors in the world, and had portrayed very amazing characters in various movies.

    Especially the level of detail of his performance is incredibly wonderful.

    Excelente

    A delicate, sensitive, careful film with excellent performances. THE Direction is flawless and the film's photography, a dream! A touching story, a careful plot and the equilateral balance between dialogues and images management make this film a qualitative landmark in the history of Brazilian cinema.

      Nicolas Terranova: Before, I'd only watch the beginning and the end of movies. The beginning, to get to know the story... and the end, because the end is always beautiful.
