    This film is nothing short of a masterpiece.
    It is one of the most complete films that I have seen in a while and my favourite film of 2024.
    Fernanda Torres is an exceptional actress and I really do think she deserves an Oscar for Best Actress as her part is arguably one of the most demanding of the year and she plays it flawlessly.

    Growing up I was always told stories of family in Brazil who lived through the…

    It was silly at times but I enjoyed it. I thought the comedy in this film was well put together and there aren't any moments that feel cringy or unnecessary.
    Perhaps the film tries…

    Thanks to Letterboxd Screenings, I managed to get tickets to this early screening ahead of its release in the UK at the end of the month.

    Whilst the rating of this film might not do it justice, I thoroughly enjoyed it (and so did most people in the cinema). It’s not very often than you watch a film and the cinema is audibly laughing at every gag and gasping at the plot twists. 
     Yes, the outcome is super predictable from…
