That movie was an absolute snooze-fest—way too slow and dull. I actually went to the theater with high hopes, but 15 minutes in, I felt like scrubbing the toilet would’ve been more fun.
It’s a shame Brazilian cinema is so stuck on such a tired trope like the dictatorship era. Enough already. That’s a oranje that’s been squeezed dry.
But I wouldn't bet against another one popping up this year...
At least I won't make the mistake of wasting my money and time on the same old cinematic garbage again.

Considering Brazil almost suffered a coup just recently and the last president was convicted and jailed because of the attempt, how is it not a very much recent theme?
Maybe you didn't like the movie, but it's got nothing to do with the theme of the movie.
