Ilson Simão S Bom filme nacional mas achei um pouco arrastado Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Audience Member É talvez um dos filmes brasileiros mais bem feitos em quesitos técnicos. Numa época de desespero, depressão e guerra muito bem criada por este filme, vemos uma carismática interpretação de Camila Morgado como Olga enquanto acompanhamos a sua trajetória contra o nazismo e a sua inspiradora vontade de viver. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fighting for what we believe mustn't make us forget our humanity. Jayme Monjardim's amazing crew managed to proceed a labor operation to deliver this film. Cinematography, Costumes, Lighting, Acting were the bases this film stands on perfectly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review alejandro t For moments, it might look like the Hallmark's "based on a true strory" full of melodramatic moments that, added to the fact that they are more interested on the wardrobe of the characters than the thruthfulness of the events, make unreal the story. It seemed more like a soap opera but a good one with emotional moments and romantic dialogues. Visually is original and the close-ups are great. Es difícil hacer una película biográfica sin caer en lo documental aburrido ni en lo irreal melodramático. Olga se va más por lo segundo y me pareció una verdadera telenovela con muchos diálogos llenos de melcocha y los malvados que están a punto de soltar su risa maléfica. Aún así, esta visión telenovelera la hace más sacalágrimas y entretenida. Visualmente es quizá como mejor se levanta de entre las biopics del montón haciendo un uso exagerado de los close ups de la bellísima protagonista Camila Morgado. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The best Brazilian movie I've ever seen Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member só a cena da camila morgado peladinha já vale o filme....kkkk...filme chato!
