Aquarius (2016)
Excellent film
I don't usually review (I'm not good at it) but I liked this film so much I made an account just to have a say after reading the opinions of those who consider it trash.
For me the entire cast gave excellent performances and the film was beautifully shot. Aside from that, the themes of ageing and sexuality, generational conflict and social humanity and culture vs soulless, bottom line, entitled profiteering really resonated with me and I personally felt that they they were not dealt with in a clichéd way at all.
Perhaps if, when all is said and done, you identify with the protagonist you will like this film. If, on the other hand, you identify with the '$*£!-eating smile' character maybe not so much. Also, if you are a fan of 'The Fast and the Furious' I don't imagine you'll get it.
p.s. I experienced absolutely no problem with the pacing of this film.
p.p.s. Any film featuring that sublime Gilberto Gil tune can't be bad.
