3rd time watch
The more I watch this movie, the more I connect with it on a deeper level. Besides its delicate and impactful recreation of the Paiva’s family trauma, its a fantastic depiction of loss and grief that reminds me of my mother’s passing.
Fernanda Torres acting masterclass also keeps getting better. It’s rare to see a perfomance in which the actor BECOMES its character. Torres is so deeply engaged in this role, she loses herself in Eunice Paiva in the most incredible way. I really hope the Academy will recognize this all-time performance by this Brazilian legend.
