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

Douglas K Excellent look at Brazil's backroads, statement on life's choices, quite different from the usual Rio de Janeiro's glamour, great music, funny, gritty and sad at times. Very entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/22 Full Review 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 While it may seem that it lacks a stronger conclusion, this deceptively simple road movie benefits from some fine performances and uses a lot of humor to address social matters and discuss the alienation of a people struggling to find its own identity in decadent times. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 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 Read all reviews
