Clara, a 65 year old widow and retired music critic, was born into a wealthy and traditional family in Recife, Brazil. She is the last resident of the Aquarius, an original two-storey building, built in the 1940s, in the upper-class, seaside Boa Viagem Avenue, Recife. All the neighboring apartments have already been acquired by a company which has other plans for that plot. Clara has pledged to only leave her place upon her death, and will engage in a cold war of sorts with the company. This tension both disturbs Clara and gives her that edge on her daily routine. It also gets her thinking about her loved ones, her past and her future.
Leave your thoughts about Aquarius.
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinBraga has been presented with an uncommonly dense and multi-faceted role here, and she plunges into it with a kind of glossy-maned, leonine majesty, investing the character with a hard-won dignity that often has you stifling a cheer, but also exploring her flaws in gripping fashion. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyThis clever, nuanced drama doubles as a political allegory concerning Brazilian corruption. But it would matter, regardless. A dawning, as the similarly-titled song has it. |
| Film InquiryAlistair RyderAquarius is the excellent new film from director Kleber Mendonça Filho, which upon viewing appears to be simply a heartfelt look at the personal cost of gentrification. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonIt's a fine film, lush, evocative and beautifully made. |
| Seattle WeeklyRobert HortonFrank in its ambition to explore The Way We Live Today, but also mysterious and elusive. I've seen few films this year more fascinating. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriAt the center of this emotional maelstrom is the 65-year-old Braga, herself a living legend and bridge to the past. In a long film of many turns, her performance - weathered, proud, sensuous, fragile - captivates and brings us into her world. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Martha K. BakerSonia Braga plays Clara. She covers a range from sweetly adoring gramma to tough momma with chiding children, from a political beast to a woman longing for physical love. |
| Cinema ScopeRobert Koehler... Aquarius contains a keen sense of history, and how the fundamental questions of identity and personal physical space can tie together memory and objects, music and the body, and how family itself is a living embodiment of history. |
| El Pais (Spain)Carlos BoyeroSonia Braga deserves a script where something interesting happens. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Paste MagazineJim HemphillKleber Mendonca Filho has made only two features, but with his second, Aquarius, he achieves artistic heights common only to the masters of the medium: Jean Renoir, Yasujiro Ozu, Ingmar Bergman, Abbas Kiarostami, Richard Linklater. |
