Audience Member Arnaldo Jabor brings a psychoanalytic tragedy to the screen with all the dramatic elements that consecrated Nelson Rodrigues' style. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Never mind the funny one-liners or how charismatic Darlene Glória is, this is what happens when satire is made too ridiculous and becomes self-parody, with caricatures instead of characters, incomprehensible motivations and a flashback structure that doesn't make much sense. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Arnaldo Jabor's masterpiece. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member esse Nelson me escandaliza... é um dos poucos que conseguem. XD Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
