9.5 Stars....Initially, at the beginning, I thought this was going to be a dim-witted comedy.
By the end I loved it. In fact, I started watching again after the credits had rolled!
As others have mentioned, the chemistry between Mario and Lucas was some of the most beautiful and realistic chemistry I have seen in any gay film anywhere.
It reminded me of the French film Just A Question Of Love (2001) given the naturalness of the actors in Cousins.
Both the main actors, Thiago Cazado; who also did a great job directing, and Paulo Sousa were both outstanding, and the actress who played Aunt Lourdes did a really fine job also.
The writing was also excellent, as was the cinematography.
Any hope of a sequel guys?
