The Atlantic

How often do we get to watch a movie and recognize the unmistakable geniality that adorns a mother’s love? Rarely do we witness a performance that’s so unembellished and yet so memorable and moving.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Fernanda Torres carries almost the entirety of Salles’s political thriller beneath the high-wire tension of her performance.

Torres, in her restrained manner, trying to be present for the children, simultaneously reveals the silent grief and internal angst she's undergoing.

This movie is very well-made, with sharp acting. It conveys the emotional experience of living under military dictatorship in Brazil. It’s highly appropriate for our current times, serving as a reminder of the horrors of military dictatorship for future generations.
