Laura Kern Film Comment Magazine Its frequent close-ups of dishes being prepared are so luscious-and its accompanying score so playfully lusty-that it might even be described as food porn. Nov 14, 2013 Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy A nice tale about the relativity of happiness, "Estômago" gives you the grandfatherly advise that 'getting there' is often more fun than 'being there'.

Maycon P Sem dúvida um dos melhores filmes já produzidos pelo cinema nacional, desenvolvimento de enredo, alternação entre passado e futuro, ótimas atuações. Vale a pena assistir! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Audience Member para um filme brasileiro so de não entupir o filme de piada sem graça ja e um ponto garantido,mas esse filme consegue equilibrar uma trama engraçada,com momentos de tensao e serios sem perder o rumo,gosto que ao longo do filme e dado a nos varias pontas soltas que no final se encaixam e mudam a forma que o espectador ve o nonato (protagonista) e que vendo o filme denovo voce percebe coisas que nao percebeu da primeira vez,um filme pra quem valoriza detalhes,um plot twist cru,e ainda sim engraçado com a pega e o humor que so brasileiro tem SIMPLEMENTE MEMORAVEL Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Alisson M melhor que clube da luta! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Thiago G ótimo filme brasileiro, merece ser visto. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/22 Full Review Audience Member I think I've never reviewed a movie from my country before. "Estômago" is an amazing Brazilian film, and it encouraged me to watch more national productions. Brazilian cinema is very scorned in its own country and it's probably more prestigious abroad. Raimundo Nonato (or Alecrim, his "prison name") is a fantastic protagonist, more intelligent than his face makes it seem, and the tone of his innocence is perfect; basically, he's everything that Forrest Gump tried to be and failed. The movie intersperses two different narratives: how Nonato started as a cook and ended in prison, and how Alecrim gained status inside the prison; both narratives are thrilling (credits to the world-building and the amazing editing), Babu Santana is imposing as Bujiú [the cell leader, and he won a Grande Otelo (the Brazilian Oscar) for this role], and Fabíula Nascimento's character remembered me of Marisa Tomei at "The Wrestler" ("Estômago" was released one year before). As the film nears its end, the transitions between the restaurant and the prison arcs are even faster, building one of the most exciting climaxes I've ever seen. And the ending was lovely. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good brazilian movie to watch! A story told in an excellent way, with humor at the right point!
