    ★★★★½

    The series does not aim to tell a story, but rather to convey a message and depict a scenario of a current problem.

    It effectively addresses the insecurities and anxieties of today’s youth, and connects in a very didactic way how this context serves as fertile ground for the dangers of certain easily accessible online speeches.

    All the episodes cover some interesting aspect, but for me, the pinnacle of the series is the third episode. Everything leading up to it seems to have been crafted with the intention of how this episode, with all these cards in hand, will lay them on the table.

    O filme é legalzinho, mas a impressão que fica é que fizeram o filme para mostrar a Fernanda Montenegro atuando, não para contar a história da sua protagonista.

    The film, despite its long length, is neither boring nor dragged out. In some parts, in fact, the pace is quite fast. It's a great example of a movie that ends up being long, rather than one that was made to be long.

    Challengers

    ★★★★½

    A compulsive and abusive woman destroys a problematic but very beautiful and long friendship and proceeds to brainwash one of the friends into hating and mistreating his now poor ex-friend. She also suggests that the poor guy should commit suicide, hits him, and spits in his face. The film ends without us knowing if the two friends reconcile, but I hope they do.
