    The Men I Had

    Banido pela Ditadura Militar devido à forma como questiona as normas tradicionais de relação entre os sexos, sobretudo a monogamia, Os Homens Que Tive (1973) apresenta uma protagonista que busca a gratificação amorosa e sexual com vários homens (simultaneamente, por boa parte do filme), algo ao mesmo tempo contestador e fortemente sintonizado com sua própria época.

    A Scorsese crime drama disguised as a message movie (I don't think that anybody in their right mind would dare to call this movie a western). It feels like Irishman part 2, or Goodfellas and Casino without cocaine or anything remotely interesting.

    There's no drama, no tension whatsoever. You know who the bad guys are from the get go, their motivations and where the plot will go, and it ends with a redundant and excruciatingly long court scene.
