"Kill Me Please" is a bold, vivid exploration of adolescence and budding sexuality, set against a backdrop of looming fear and dread.

"Kill Me Please" oozes style even as it betrays its influences... with a wonderfully strange ending that feels inevitable even if it doesn't make immediate logical sense - which is to say, it's a lot like so many other key moments of growing up.

Rated: B+

There are chunks that work beautifully, images that may haunt me for a long time, but they never quite cohere into a formidable piece.

Mate-me por favor becomes muddled as Rocha da Silveira's bold direction takes on too many elements, including a not-so-fully formed allusion to an underbelly caused by rapid modernization in the wealthy neighborhood...

Kill Me Please works as a well shot story of adolescence, but doesn't delve far enough into its intriguing premise.

Rated: 6/10

Mate-me Por Favor / Kill Me Please (2015) Dull and Boring (11,804 –04 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, four shallow teenage girls discuss the death of young women and teenagers by a serial-killer while have the normal life of teenagers, going to high school, dating and partying. “Mate-me Por Favor”, a.k.a “Kill Me Please’ (2015), is a dull and boring Brazilian Argentinian Portuguese movie by Anita Rocha da Silveira. Although overrated by the “professional critics”, nothing happens along 104 min. running time but teenagers making out, at school and talking nonsense. The dialogs are shallow and stupid and the music score is awful, with the worst of the Brazilian songs. My vote is two.

The director Anita Rocha da Silveira really wishes she was David Lynch or David Cronemberg... This movie is a BORING atempt to make something artsy and deep that turns out to be shallow and... I don't even have words... bad I guess! Annoying characters and a stupid story that makes you look at your watch every 5 minutes wondering how much more it will take to make to the end!!! It's seems unfair that in a country where making a movie is such a struggle like Brazil, some talentless filmmaker can make garbage like this while others will never havee the chance! And also the soundtrack is AWFUL!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
