This new release feature from Brazil is no exception. But while it does send an inspiring message in the end, it just felt a bit too predictable and straight forward for me.
However, it is the performances that make this watchable. Standing out was lead Thiessa Woinbackk who gave a believable performance, carried the film and had a natural charm that made her easy to root for.
There was solid support from Ronaldo Bonafro in particular.
So while everything is done to a serviceable quality, it was all done on a surface level and therefore lacked depth.
I've seen similar films go deeper in it's themes and be more adventurous in its technical side.
Despite all that, it still gets a pass from me. As mentioned before, it is a functional piece of work that does everything to a serviceable and very little felt like bad filmmaking.
Rating: 7/10
