    Very good, very dark

    Excellent cinematography and above average performances, make this the one of the darkest, 'in your face' dramas ever produced in Portugal.

    Beatriz Batarda is indeed one of the best Portuguese actresses of our time, and Fernando Luís surprises with a performance well beyond anything he's done in television.

    Mr. Canijo continues to innovate with his camera work and overlapped dialogs. He's one of the few Portuguese directors who's not afraid to experiment concepts and techniques that haven't been usually used in the making of Portuguese Cinema.

    9 out of 10.

    Highly recommended.
