[IFFR] Like other current Brazilian films, it traces an interesting view of Brazilian society from its particular stories. The spirit of Madalena flies over the characters, who do not seem to have a direct relationship. But perhaps this lack of connection causes the film to have a certain cohesion problem. As director, there are times when Madiano Marcheti achieves powerful visuals, but the script is not up to the task.
