Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member doc. was a tedious and way too spotty on the full story, but theres still enough here to make it close to a must see. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Um vislumbre da alma de Tom Zé, um dos maiores músicos do Brasil. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Tem o mérito de apresentar às novas gerações o músico multifacetado, o tropicaliente banido e o ser humano sem amarras sociais.
