Having lived in Brazil decades ago; I am a fan of Brazilian movies and count several among my favorite films. Like the others on my list, When Death Rescues Life is very authentic. It is a bit slow moving and probably not appreciated by those seeking high drama, but the acting is excellent, the script is on-point and the story echoes a real situation in its depiction of a tiered class system. I found the film engrossing on all levels, endearing on some and engaging in totality.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
