    Life changing movie

    Everyone should watch this amazing movie, especially top corporate executives who have lost touch with their basic humanity which they have surrendered to delusion of money, and start treating their employees like people and not like disposable numbers. This movie will go over most people's heads as we have grown up in a shallow material world which has warped our thoughts, but if you still have some connection to your true self, then this movie will bring it out in you. Great acting, great content, great, great writing and subject matter. This is the best movie I have seen in a long, long time. If your idea of a great movie involves tons of car chases then this movie isn't for you.

    A movie with a message that matters!

    This is a great movie. Ignore bad reviews! I recommend everyone to watch this movie.

    Powerful, Moving and Unique

    I knew nothing about this film but just liked the title and the promo image, so thought I'd go for it. I'm SO glad I did. It was like no other film I've ever seen. Firstly, the music was exquisite - and so was the the casting, the cinematography, the acting and everthing else about it. But I found the heart of this film to be the powerfully, cleverly, beautifully elucidated message - i.e., that many humans have lost their basic humanity and many (most?) in power are only interested in power (and money honey), and NOT the greater good. I'm not used to hearing the things that make me mutter obscenities under my breath when I watch the nightly news, being strongly expressed in a film, so it took me by surprise (in a good way). Lots of people apparently feel uncomfortable when confronted with these 'concepts', and dismiss it all as merely clichéd. On one level that's undeniable, but on a deeper level, those damn clichés are...'uncomfortable truths' (oops sorry, another annoying 'cliché') Anwyay - loved it! Don't miss it!

    (P. S. thank you to all involved with this film and especially to the writers - write on!).

    Ignore the Negative Reviews

    The messages in this film are even more relevant today than when the film was released. Consumerism and materialism are not important as we've been led to believe. The covid lockdowns and mandatory restrictions are opening people's eyes to what is really important and this film illustrates it perfectly. The acting is excellent and César Troncosco, who plays Mellon, is SUPERB. Thank you for making this poignant movie.

    Predictable and weak performances with cliche speeches.

    This is one of the best selling books in Brazil, so i was expecting a good film, unfortunately it is not.

    Actors with very weak performances and a very predictable script but with speeches that some may find interesting, however it's a big cliche talking about how our society is "empty" and how we are losing our values. Maybe with a better script and better actings it could worked a lot better.

    Maybe it can work for people who don't have a lot of knowledge and worldview, however anyone who never read a good self-knowledge book, may find the movie incredible.
