Malcolm B Wasted opportunity about an important subject. Too much melodrama and insufficient substance about who this man was, where he came. Marighella does very little in the movie and spent too much time quoting platitudes rather than taking action. Too long and rather tedious. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Frederico Teixeira G Excellent movie with an outstanding performance by Seu Jorge. The film tells the stories of Marighella, a former congressman that decides to fight with arms the dictatorship in Brazil, a regime that came to place with the support of the USA. It must be warned that it depicts the atrocities committed by the infamous regime even to children. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Paulo Ricardo V Distorção total dos fatos, um terrorista ser vangloriado, é o cúmulo da ignorância, o que esperar de um filme com visão esquerdista, essa cultura Woke é um vírus que estraga tudo o que toca, e infelizmente os filmes nacionais. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Daniel L The national anthem scene is simply unmissable for any Brazilian who calls himself a patriot. Those who follow the twists and turns in the judicial case of the death house in Brazil know the historical weight that such a film has. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review r 9 A tad slower than I would've liked, though 'Marighella' is still very good. Seu Jorge puts in a noteworthy performance throughout, all the more impressive given acting isn't his bread and butter. I also enjoyed Bruno Gagliasso in this, not his character of course but the actor's showing is good. The rest of the cast, e.g. Humberto Carrão and Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos, merit praise too. I can't say I knew anything about Carlos Marighella (surname did ring a slight bell beforehand, mind) or even much about this era of Brazil, which is something I actually prefer as I like to judge a film as a film and not having prior knowledge only helps that. Therefore, I wouldn't know how truthful this biopic is or isn't but I will say it doesn't hold much back - there are some very rough scenes scattered across the near 3hrs. Speaking of the run time, I do think it's ever so slightly overlong - I was never pining for the finish or anything close to that, but there are a few moments where I felt the film could've sped itself up a bit. It's not a true criticism of mine, though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Be I Having lived in Brazil at the time of the dictatorship, not to mention having studied at the University of Sao Paulo, I was aware of the charismatic Marighella on the headlines and TV portrayed as a criminal the police was searching for and for the longest time. What I did not know is the truth the movie reveals of what this man was all about. Very well acted and directed, strong and violent at times (it had to be because I understand it was really like so at these times), my congratulations to all involved in bringing the story to the screen. The mystery of Marighella is finally over, at least for me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews
