Audience Member A clustered mess of sardines in a can. Any feelings of disapproval for Darlene are lost in utter amusement. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A clustered mess of sardines in a can. Any feelings of disapproval for Darlene are lost in utter amusement. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member good polyandry and whatnot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review raphael g I don't give it a full 5-star rating because three of the actors (Casà (C), Garcia, and Duarte) aren't really from the Brazilian northeast, and if you speak fluent Portuguese and is acquainted with Brazilian accents, you will notice that they didn't succeed 100% in "faking" a northeastern one, despite otherwise good performances. Casà (C)'s accent is the closest to the "real deal", but it's still not exactly how I would expect to hear northeasterns talking. I was born in that region myself, so I know what I'm talking about. Perhaps they should've found more actors from that part of Brazil. However, if you don't understand Portuguese at all, this is just a (perhaps unimportant) detail. But I'm picky. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As if to prove the thesis that people in the developed world are unhappy, while those in poorer countries are less so, hot on the heels of 'Expired' we watched this excellent movie from Brazil. Life is very hard, and Darlene still manages to set up home with three men, and they and their children all get along very well indeed. What a super film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member *** (out of four) Based on an amusing and surprising true story about a woman who has three husbands. Each of them are able to enhance her live in some way. She has picked three very different men to quench her various moods and desires. Amusing and light-hearted.
