      Audience Member The jumping back & forth timeline narrative sometimes look confusing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Una película taquillera y superficial que a pesar de todo se mantiene a flote por su onda y sus paisajes. Se queda en los decorados haciendo que la historia salga un poco forzada. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Lento até demais, o filme tenta aparentar uma narrativa poética que chega a ser constrangedora e chata. Soma-se a isso um roteiro desinteressante e personagens com os quais é impossível se identificar. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Com um ritmo muito lento, o filme se transforma em um verdadeiro exercício de paciência que não chega a lugar nenhum. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The cinematographic quality is surprisingly high. But it shouldn't really be a surprise. Brazilian cinema is mature enough to cope with high standards. As for the script it had a potential that wasn't reached. The view of the electronic music, middle class little drug world is external. It feels like it's been told from outside. It fails to actually trow you in the midst of this disturbing reality, such as "Requiem for a Dream" or "Trainspotting". The constant casualties in the characters' lives instead of making you think about chance, are more likely to make you think about soap operas and wish it doesn't go where you think it's going. And too often it goes. Marcos Prado can sure do better than that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It is just a bunch of people partying, using drugs, and having sex. The other 10 minutes of the movie are boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
