This movie is a journey through the director’s childhood. Fábio Silva uses the cinematic apparatus to take us on a trip to the past, to his past, towards the reasons behind his current estrangement from his father, calling on home videos as evidence of his account. A mysterious film in which the young filmmaker risks exposing his family privacy, full of betrayal and forgiveness. It is a privilege to watch a story told with such boldness, in which the boundaries between author, audience, and family trauma are barely distinguishable.

Undescribable Perfection
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
