Courtney Howard Variety Its broad comedy and thoughtful themes aren't completely cogent, due to a lack of properly motivated character developments and questionable scenarios. Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Carnaval is like Girls Trip by way of Brazil, but the acting and many of the comedy's punchlines are fairly over-exaggerated. Rated: 2/4 Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community When I look back at Carnaval I find myself with mixed feelings. While the humor never made me left me outright laughing, there are some truly enjoyable moments... Rated: 7/10 Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media This frothy film about the #lifelessons an Instagram influencer learns during Carnival in Brazil is as superficial as it sounds, but its postcard-perfect setting and gorgeous cast are easy to watch. Rated: 2/5 Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files As shallow as its influencer subject matter, Carnaval isn't overflowing with depth. For better or worse, it feels like a true modern era social media era rom com. Rated: 6/10 Jun 6, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider Carnaval wants to like, say something about superficiality and stuff, but never really gets beneath the surface of its characters or situations.

Audience Member Filme horrível, e sou brasileiro e realmente queria que os filmes brasileiros fossem melhores, esse filme tem uma premissa até que aceitável mas o roteiro é horrível, muito mal desenvolvido e as atuações são medíocres. Se eu pudesse apagar um filme da história esse seria um grande candidato. Se você não assistiu eu recomendo que não perca o seu tempo! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Meio chatinho, achei linda a parte espiritual, a amizade das meninas, algo que não tem preço, imensurável… Fofas as meninas, com suas personalidades opostas, as piadinhas, simples, mas adoráveis, "me segura", o teor fake e exagerado, tornou mais divertido que imaginava, conhecendo a nova geração de influencer, estou totalmente desatualidzada, esse mundo não me pertence, engraçadinho e fofinho… E a sátira com a Horrenda da Suzana Vieira foi a melhor, e o trauma da pequena, foi tão emocionante… Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Example of irony: when an actor, who is an Instagram influencer in real life, plays an Instagram influencer character that learned about life's not just about number of likes on social media. So a new Brazilian movie just dropped on Netflix. Right after I read the synopsis and see the cover of this movie, I was pretty sure that this is gonna be a throwaway one. And I was right. This is one of the most pretentious movies I have seen this year. Pretty much the first half of the movie was just these four annoying girls screaming and partying. I didn't even know what was going on. The plot was basic and predictable in almost every way. Ah the acting. Screaming a lot doesn't mean you're a good actor. This movie felt like the ones where these actor-wannabe influencers or Youtubers made their debut. I didn't expect any good acting, and I was right. The themes. When you try to preach too hard, you become fake and unnatural. There were many themes that the movies tried to throw at the audience: don't judge by the cover, be who you really are, know what is most important to you, and faith. Each of the four main character here had some background and revelation that reflected one of the themes. However, every single one of them were unjustified, sudden, unearned, and fake. I scratched my head at how these character came to these revelations. And the most pretentious one was the main chick, who's supposed to learn that social media isn't about likes, BUT she constantly gained followers throughout the movie. Like what?!? How was she supposed to learn if she kept getting more famous? Overall, this movie was a trap, especially the synopsis. I didn't expect much, but holy it's fake as heck. Don't even search up this movie. 0.5/10 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
