- The greatest praise I can give to the film is that it never treats the viewer as dumb. It never seeks to indoctrinate or impose viewpoints.
- In this way - much like what Michel Franco did with New Order - it will certainly offend some who want to hear what makes them feel better. I won't be surprised if someone call this film fascist. It's not. Of course not. Its creator, Daniel Bandeira, despises Bolsonaro and similar clowns, but good cinema/art is supposed to make you uncomfortable and most things are not black or white. 100% good and 100% bad are Hollywood's concepts and divisions.
- Malu Galli in the lead role. What a performance!
- It's a very intense film, where even in its calmest moments, it's giving us something to reflect on, never anything easy.
- The violence is immense. Raw, without embellishments. Just like it will be on the day of the revolution. Which will be televised.
- Impeccable camera movement and unsettling sound effects heighten the heavy atmosphere of anticipation, making it clear that something bad is about to happen.
- The rich and the poor need to start talking. As someone who leans left, I advocate that everything should start with narrowing the ever-widening gap, but above all, there must be communication. The rope will stretch so much that it will break. This film is more predictive than fictional.
