Jon W Great story, acting and directing. It takes so many turns. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/19 Full Review Audience Member This is wild, wacky stuff, as Carson might say. It went places right out of left field. There's the all-world soccer player who blows a penalty kick in the World Cup and is left shattered, but driven to do good for the world. You get these twins who are pure evil. There's an evil Minister of Propaganda. A gene specialist (also evil, who woulda thunk it?). They all want to use Diamantino's skills for their own monetary gain, not realizing his blatant dimwittedness will be an asset to him. And just as you think you might know what's up, they go into transferring genes, a lesbian scene, an island of green (and a full prism of other glorious shades), and a final battle scene. And of course, there's the fluffy puppies. Wow, Credit to directors/writers Schmidt and Abrantes for this zany flick, and to cinematographer Anderson for making it look so glorious. And kudos to the sisters Moreira and also Joana Barrios. But mostly to lead Carloto Cotta as the clueless Diamantino and the lovely Cleo Tavares. 3 stars for general cult-y wackiness and cinematography. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member An unforgettable experience, with the absurd cloning story but it ends up fitting, because the rest of the narrative is AMAZING, we stay inside the character's mind and understand all his decisions, and have moments to make us cry. (10/10) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is exactly what cinema needed. Cotta outing himself as one of the greatest actors of our time. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Just silly, not surreal. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review dave d The Matt Gaetz story (it makes as much sense as anything he came up with), also known as 'Diamantino', a Portuguese film. It never takes itself too serious, and if you don't you'll be rewarded with an irreverent concept and one of the oddest love stories on film. This is a low budget B movie and as far as they go it's pretty darn great! Don't think about it or try to figure it out, just let the absurdity of it all wash over you! Final Score: 7.5/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
