Rosana B Um conto de fadas carioca sem um final feliz, ótima escolha a do Thiago Martins, excelente filme, atuações impecáveis... lindo, poético, dramático, muito bom... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/15/22 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies, Thiago Martins is without a doubt a very good actor with very carastmatic expressions, the movie is a network of emotions unfortunately ending in disgrace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good. One of Brazil's best movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Filme Brasileiro. Acabei de assistir, recomendação do meu irmão que morou no Rio. Mostra bem a cidade e a realidade de lá no geral, de coisas que podem acontecer sim, uma historio de amor dificil entre a menina que mora em Ipanema e o menino do Morro do Cantagalo. Final triste! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Surpreendente bom filme de drama-romance a la Romeo & Julieta. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A sensibilidade de Breno Silveira para falar do amor é algo inédito no cinema nacional. Sob sua batuta, Thiago Martins e Vitória Frate se tornam uma espécie de Romeu e Julieta de Ipanema, que conseguem passar, com toda profundidade, as dores e angústias de um amor impossível. Um filme inesquecível. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
