Poetic imagery and strong performances. 4/5


I've read reviews by people who hated this film, yet there also seems to be a huge amount of respect for it. The film might not reach perfection, at any stage, but it's still another highly noteworthy piece from Meirelles, with some striking visuals.

I wrote a short review, for anyone interested.

Nothing poetic for me. It's simply a glossy image, covering up the student film level writing. 2/5
