Propriedade is a brazilian movie that works mostly in a small scenario - a farm house and entrance. In the story we have two visions of the same story, in these visions you can understand why the characters act in such way. The battle between peasents and farmers tries to expose a long battle what occurs in Brazil, associated with slavery as shown in the movie. Old families that retains lands for centuries, exploiting workers.
This good ideia unfortunately doesn't follow a good direction or photography, that seems to emulate horror movies in some parts. The characteres are poorly worked. We know that the main character has a trauma and the movie works around this, but unfortunately instead of building the tension of being locked, her experience takes less place than the farm workers. This would not be a problem if they were good represented, but what we see is a bunch of clichés, we have too much people in the story. The conflict exist and their story too, but the way of telling this can't be effective if the movie has to run with its time. And also can't be helped by a poor photography, without a construction of the feeling of desperation, anxiety, that the story should have.
