An important film that tells facts that many people try to erase. Films like Marighella remind us of the atrocities of the Brazilian dictatorship and bring a past that we must never forget so that it will never be repeated.

Great movie, very necessary for the moment. Several Brazilians still believe he was a terrorist and are unfamiliar with the truth. As the history and the movie shows, the facist party were invested and demolishing his image and making sure his ideals were not to be passed forward, but here we are, learning the truth they tried to cover years ago. Great movie.

A fact-free film, an homage to the urban guerrilla guy who wrote a "handbook" of guerrilla tactics worthy of a Hamas or Al Qaeda militant, a guy who considered civilian deaths collateral damage while seeking to establish a communist dictatorship . But these are things not seen in the film, which even falsify the historical character's skin color. The film itself tries, without success, to show a traumatized and cornered protagonist, who had no option but to fight against the dictatorship that ruled Brazil at his time, trying to humanize the main character to the point of making the performances and situations very shallow and boring. And the film still fails to make clear what goal Marighella wanted to achieve. 4/10

The film is a free adaptation to fiction of the life of one of the worst communist guerrillas that ever lived in Brazil. It can not be considered a biographical film, much less a documentary, since many situations and scenes were created by the film director, niece of the terrorist, to substantiate More

A tad slower than I would've liked, though 'Marighella' is still very good.

Seu Jorge puts in a noteworthy performance throughout, all the more impressive given acting isn't his bread and butter. I also enjoyed Bruno Gagliasso in this, not his character of course but the actor's showing More
