10/10

"There are some aspects of the making of a film that deals with reality. The proximity of view can either bring the details alive to you or make you oblivious to things that are right across from you, plain for all to see. While true the possibilities work in a balanced way for the director. His sympathy (and Fagundes' too as a protagonist) for the Workers Party in the episode that happened parallel to the 1982 elections in São Paulo - the first to have current Brazil's president Lula running for governor and which had André Franco Montoro as the elected governor - cannot be concealed..."
