There’s a version of this that’s a decent movie. This one is just too stupid.
Was into the first two-thirds of the movie and loved how it was shot, but it lost a lot of juice for me with the time jumps. Obviously it was made for Brazilian audiences who have a baseline knowledge of who Rubens was and that part of their political history, but if you don’t have that, it’s a little tougher.
Careers, mental illness, grief, being young, being old. It’s got it all.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
A great sports movie and an even better love triangle movie. It was amazing how they laid out the relationships and kept revealing more and more as the movie went along, all the way up to the last few minutes. But it was also fascinating what they chose to leave out, namely that the relationship between the two men had clearly been more intimate than what was shown.
Docked a half star because the Tashi character didn’t quite do it…
