User Reviews

An unfeasible country ?

This movie is a cruel satire of the Brazilian middle-class. Is shows how distant are the rich from the poor in this country, and how this situation generates violence and hypocrisy. There's no subtlety - just the reality as it really is, making one consider a final surrender to cynicism. Worth watching and thinking about.
