Laert-se is not interested in answers. It leaves both the main subject and the audience exposed to the idea that these questions exist-and must be asked more often. Go to Full Review

Rosana B 07/28/2024 Conheci há pouco a história de Laerte, pouco se refere às suas famosas tirinhas, das quais me lembro vagamente da infância, entretanto quando a conheci em outro documentário ou reportagem, passei a admirá-la, esse documentário tem uma abordagem muito gostosa, íntima e caseira, em 2005 perdeu um dos seus filhos o que a fez repensar a vida, e em 2009 decide se transformar em mulher uma atitude corajosa (apesar de rejeitar tal alcunha) e linda, a produção, alternando com suas tirinhas... See more 05/01/2022 Also available in an English-dubbing version with a voice cast and the greatest English subtitles ever!!!!!!!!!! LOL, so funny, original, and about the best documentary topic ever: painting. All families admitted, allowed, and not ****ing ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 03/12/2019 Laerte Coutinho is an incredibly sensitive and authentic person and brings to her own story the charm and the wonder of life itself. Despite the very complex and controversial situation where she finds herself, she remains an essentially loving and joyful person It is, from far, the most moving and beautiful movie I have seen in a very long time. See more 07/05/2017 While Laerte is a great documentary subject, her POV alone isn't enough to withstand the editing and pacing issues. See more 06/01/2017 Transgenderism is a degenerate mental disease. Movie was nothing but filthy propaganda. Praise Kek See more 05/21/2017 Interesting new way of seeing the intimacy new forms of sexuality. Worth a try! See more Read all reviews
