    Manageable with some fine moments

    This "Meu Nome é Gal" can be defined as a series of music videos put in just one full picture with legendary Gal Costa performing two songs by Caetano Veloso, and the title track composed by Roberto and Erasmo Carlos. She sings while inside her room and other places, driving her Fusca through Rio and then a final show where you don't get to see the crowd, or anything for that matter since it's all too dark except for some shining pieces from her dress.

    The two first songs were greatly performed and the directors of photography captured many great images, not only just from Gal but also the locations, a couple of amazing aerial images are shown; the final performance was too obscure and it almost ruins the whole experience. What's the point of filming something that can't barely be seen and even heard (the sound is a little off at times, it's almost like you can only hear and understand the title of the song but not much of the rest). All in all, a true special material and fans will certainly have an enjoyable time with it. 6/10.
