| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceThe title suggests closure, yet the film locates a nation very much still in the process of getting to know itself. |
| User ReviewGeorge LA movie so good you feel like you're right there with them breathing the Brazilian air. |
| User ReviewHoneylet JMy all time favorite movie. It's simple, exotic, adventurous, thought provoking and happy. Only for people who have a heart and wanderlust. |
| User ReviewAstrid TA Brazilian movie by Carlos Diegues, this was a personal favourite when I saw it soon after it was released in 1979. It was alive in a way that other movies were not at that time. I also recognize and admit my affinity for circus and caravan stories, not to mention the Brazilian samba. |
| User ReviewMichael LA very fun time with excellent performances by Jose Wilker and Betty Faria. Now Fabio Junior's role (as well as his wife) could've been written better. One of my favorite road movies. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA funny film by all means. The performances are great across the board and the cinematography is colorful and as 70s as it gets. I recommend it for all you who love Brazilian cinema and those who love fun films in general. |
| User ReviewRamses CWhat a classic!!! You can watch over and over and still have fun! Almost 30 years old, the film still portrays some of the social problems and characters within Brazilian society: the 'malandro', the prostitute with a good heart, the 'Nordestino', and the controlled wife!!! Exploitation of the Amazon, capitalism changing society... you name it... it's there! Have fun! |
| User ReviewCarlos MWhile it may seem that it lacks a stronger conclusion, this deceptively simple road movie benefits from some fine performances and uses a lot of humor to address social matters and discuss the alienation of a people struggling to find its own identity in decadent times. |
| User ReviewKevin GEntertaining enough, but nothing really new here. Just another movie about how progress comes at a price. It's been done before elsewhere but Brazil had to do it for themselves, I guess. |
| User ReviewGregory Wa strange and curious movie from the seventies in which brazil and its people are another character as we follow a travelling troop of odd performers as they travel around brazil, it reminded me of the fellini movie with his wife and anthony quinn as the strongman travelling around italy, same thing here only italiy is now brazil. |
