I had very high expectations about this film and I was pleasantly rewarded. The story-line was just brilliant. The story speaks very close to home as much of what was portrayed I found relatable, heartbreaking, entertaining, inspiring and thought provoking. I normally have a large popcorn when watching movies and finish it within the first hour, but in this case my popcorn was more than half at the end. I can't remember the last time I paid this much attention to a movie. I would hate to single out characters as every character portrayed was executed perfectly. This film speaks volumes. I'm very happy that I got a chance to view something so real, raw and beautiful.

I guess my expectations were too high. I do love the music choice... over used as well. In some instances the use thereof was not needed. The production values are A-grade as was the acting and cast selection, but the story line was just atrocious.

The production values are through the roof. The story line is superb. I'm surprised that the cast are Brazilian. The costume, the location and above all the music are just perfect. The performance by the cast I found effortless. If this is not a proud Brazilian production, then I don't know what is.
