Peter Bradshaw Guardian It enfolds you in its own world effectively enough but it listlessly problematises sex and leaves untied an important plot strand. Rated: 2/5 Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Jamie Ludwig Chicago Reader Hard Paint explores what makes a true human connection in an era when emotional and sexual gratification can be obtained with a click. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Infused with a sense of yearning and melancholy as vivid as the body paints daubed on the bodies of the boys who dance for money, Hard Paint represents a complex character study and a distinctive voice in queer cinema. Mar 28, 2018 Full Review Filipe Freitas Film Threat ...a simmering, low-key approach delineated with a mix of tension and languidness that works incredibly well... Rated: 7/10 Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall While some sequences are painful to watch, the film is warm, humane and very sexy Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Callum Forbes Battle Royale With Cheese If you feel like this film may connect to you, then it will be worth the watch as it's subject is touchy and will hit home with a lot of people in the end.

Rosana B Começa no misterioso, deixando tudo nas entrelinhas, o ritmo lento, a falta de compreensão das ações do protagonista, mas o desenvolvimento voluptuoso nos leva a dilacerar a alma de tanta dor do preconceito nas falas, ações, olhar, e pensar que esses meninos lutam todos os dias pela sobrevivência, tão triste realidade, se passa no Sul, muito pertinente, excelente produção, uma grande perola... “Tem saído? Na sua idade é bom, porque senão quando você ficar velho não vai ter nada para lembrar.” Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Audience Member Original, surprising and full of captivating eroticism, Tinta bruta has much more to tell than what lies in the surface, and what a way to tell a story, directors know how to catch the viewer's attention and how to gradually unwrap the layers of his character, nuanced in his apparent explosiveness. Unfortunately, as it goes on, it feels tired and redundant, it falls on the verge of ending up in (another) homosexual coming-on-age with lots of nudity and sordid but empty actions. All its sins are forgiven in the last scene, humanly liberating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I stumbled across this movie changing channels and really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful yet tragic 👏🏾👏🏾😢🤣 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/18 Full Review Read all reviews
