Lou Lumenick New York Post Rated: 3/4 Aug 14, 2003 Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune Completely successful or not, films like Saudade do Futuro are needed. And we need people like the Nordestinos. Jan 31, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 16, 2005 Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International As much a cinematic treasure as it is a celebration of Brazil's musical traditions. Aug 14, 2003 Full Review Joshua Tanzer Offoffoff A fun and affectionate look at street musicians in Brazil, especially those practicing a kind of traditional rap poking fun at themselves, the audience and the sadness of life itself. Rated: 3/4 Mar 11, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A bit dull and without a sense of direction to start with, but this documentary grows on you toward the middle, and by the end you find yourself wanting to hear more cantadores jabbing poetic insults at each other. A good look at Sao Paulo's street culture. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Some cool music, manic footage of Sao Paolo and haphazard ethnographic fragments about the lives of the downtrodden. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
