Fernando F. Croce Slant Magazine The title suggests closure, yet the film locates a nation very much still in the process of getting to know itself. Rated: 3/4 May 6, 2007 Full Review Eleanor Ringel Cater Saporta Report (Atlanta) A wonderfully winning little film that thrives on contradictions. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member : ¨ ·.· ¨ : ` · .. · ` Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member My all time favorite movie. It's simple, exotic, adventurous, thought provoking and happy. Only for people who have a heart and wanderlust. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie so good you feel like you're right there with them breathing the Brazilian air. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Una muestra mas de que para hacer buen cine lo que se necesita es talento y no efectos, este film es, en nuestra humilde opinion, una joya indispendable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a classic!!! You can watch over and over and still have fun! Almost 30 years old, the film still portrays some of the social problems and characters within Brazilian society: the 'malandro', the prostitute with a good heart, the 'Nordestino', and the controlled wife!!! Exploitation of the Amazon, capitalism changing society... you name it... it's there! Have fun! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film that talks about those who no longer fit in a changing world. A man chasing a fantasy and a fantasy that struggles to survive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
