Andrew Barker Variety This low-key, quietly crowdpleasing odyssey about a yuppie father searching through rural Sao Paulo for his missing teenage son is highly engaging. Jan 25, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

crdaig b It seems that everything with Wagner Moura in it is quite good. No exception here. Totally engaging film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Exciting, profound story that leads to the questioning of attitudes towards family. Very good! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member O título acabou mudando para A Busca, que faz mais sentido, sigo sem entender a cadeira. É uma espécie de road movie, que vai se tornando mais e mais fabulesco. Boas atuações e participações especiais. Merece atenção. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes, you can be surprised by the script's twists - if you're a nine-year-old child who hasn't seen many films in life. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
