      Jamie S. Rich Oregonian "August Winds" is a contemplative, nearly formless depiction of rural life. Mascaro regularly hangs back, adopting an unobtrusive vantage point, letting the moments form so that his characters can live out their lives. Rated: B+ Feb 13, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Brazilian director Gabriel Mascaro's seaside slice-of-life indie is as shapeless as the wind, but crafted with a great thought and care. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Gorgeous imagery. Nebulous story. Harvesting coconuts. Harvesting octopus. Harvesting sounds of wind. Harvesting corpses and skeletons. Making love. Caring for the dead. Shielding beach-side monuments from a storm tide. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Although it does have supporting actors who look directly into the camera in several occasions, this is an extremely rewarding drama that invests plentifully in static shots and situations - thus demanding a bit of patience - with a noteworthy formal rigor and care in its structure, editing and direction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member better than excpected. saw at a fest, but will see again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
