Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Thiago's film is a delightful showcase of gentle protagonists and their intricate yet seemingly breathless harmonies. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2016 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com [VIDEO ESSAY] The pure delight of hearing Bossa Nova played on nylon-stringed guitars by veteran masters of the music, is more than sufficient reason to learn about this relatively young music's vibrant history. Rated: A Jan 8, 2016 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Opulently overflowing with rich memories and music, this doc has the last word on some of the most beloved and timeless music ever produced.

Audience Member AMAZING ! It inspired me to write: Por momentos me desconecto Veo una serie Me meto en la historia Río, después de días Me siento libre Veo los sueños de Maria Luiza La pasión de Ligia La lucha de Adela Ese sentimiento, esas emociones, ese ingrediente puro de esencia humana Me tocan el alma I love how they portrayed the 60s, the gender breach, racial issues, the perfection of the entanglement with the story and characters is indescribable! The beginning of a necessary feminism, no doubt. Everyone should watch it to peek through a window just 50 years ago and see how long we've come but yet still have to keep going. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review crdaig b This is essential viewing for anyone who loves bossa nova. It is an intimate view of the history of this wonderful music, lovingly presented by the people who were there at its core. One of the many highlights of this documentary is a talk and performance by Tom Jobim's son, Paulo. There is plenty of music to enjoy here, though rarely is an entire song played (For that see the fantastic DVDs: 'Tom Jobim: Waters Of March'; also 'Tom Jobim: No More Blues'). I only wish the legendary João Gilberto, who is still alive, was interviewed for this charming documentary. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good documentary about the birth of bossa-nova. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
