Could be so much better
19 August 2016 | by (Curitiba, Brazil) – See all my reviews

Eccentric characters and a good story lost in the hands of unskillful producers. It slips from the main story several times with useless details and exhausts the viewer with repeated photos and newspaper cuts. That said, nothing spoils it more than the inconvenient and abnormal use of music - it forces the mood and muffles the speeches, giving the video an amateurish air. The draggy pace at which the interesting bits are told made the one hour and thirty- two minutes feel like an eternity. The two main characters aren't well explored and, along with all others, seem to be way too conducted by the questions being made.
