Too much of everything

Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Excellent! It reminds us the horrible scenes that the world witnessed from the ISIS caliphate on social media ( extreme violence, executions etc) but in the middle of the Caatinga (desert) in Brazil. Very modern cinematographic direction by Violleto. It touches in profound themes such as religion fanaticism and political and economic disenfranchisement. I loved the way the director used no soundtrack during some scenes of the movie. It was also interesting to have a set of very good new actors balancing with m ore seasoned ones. Sometimes it uses the speed and dynamic of video games. It's fantastic the mixed of the themes of the Brazilian culture and faith such as a Junina Party and the lonely image of a church in the middle of nowhere and the modern scenes of video game shootings,motorcycle rides and violence as previously mentioned . It was a GREAT surprise! . Excellent!

It is not from today that Brazilian cinema seeks to diversify its production in order to not be dependent only and exclusively of comedies and dramas of social background. In recent years to have been some initiatives in the genre of cinema, especially suspense and action but often bumping into formulas ready welcome Hollywood movie. This movie is another trying this way - and also the latest to fail.Sold as the "Brazilian Mad Max," Reza a Lenda lives up to reputation - at least visually. The hinterland of the image conveys the vastness of sensations and isolation, so important to this narrative. The harsh climate also gains strength from the troupe of bikers led by Ara (Cauã Reymond), badly dressed and always filthy with dust because of the constant life on the road. Faced with such concern for the visual are explicit links with the director of advertising. Homero brings to the movie usual keen eye of the activity, which values ​​ the image above all else. It is (also) so that the film delivers long contemplative sequences where you can follow the main characters wandering back and forth, and back and forth without anything actually happening, but always to the sound of a pulsating soundtrack. All very nice, but empty.However, the big problem of the film is that, as much as to bring an interesting ambiance, missing content to the feature film. The little script revolves around two intrinsic stories: a young girl (Luisa Arraes always scared) lost in the world that have to live with Ara gang, half against his will through for lack of a better alternative, and the duel between the biker and the villain Tenorio (Humberto Martins, perfecting the frown of evil) for possession of the statue of a saint. Both quite shallow, with characters up there in stereotyped.Who suggests some hope amid so bleak scenario - the inhospitable and also uninteresting - is Severina, character Sophie Charlotte. Strong face, quite different from the roles already played by actress, soon clashes with the presence of a woman determined in such a masculine environment. However, the script does not waste time in wasting their potential by putting her in a loving dispute Ara - and only this! The decision to link the two main female characters in the plot to a paltry competition for alpha male not only sounds lazy, but also prejudiced, showing that there is more to women on stage than just fight among themselves for others' love.With characters so poorly constructed, it is the feeling of waste. More on even the meager use of Júlio Andrade and Jesuita Barbosa, potential actors here are mere caricatures. In the end, the film is based only on visual trouble, especially photography and costumes, forgetting that the film requires more than just image.

The film REZA A LENDA of Homero Olivetto (Bruna Surfistinha) is a kind of modern version of one of the greatest films in the history of national cinema, Black God, White Devil (1964) by Glauber Rocha. Because the items chosen specifically for the construction and composition of the plot.Northeastern dry voracious, almost blind faith of local people, the coronal's, a strong character (Ara); but there was an apparent evolution in domestic productions and Reza Legend is no different from many good scenes and a different photograph, two stand out: machetes battle the wizard and another that kicks in a machine-gun in Gatling style (1300 bullets per minute).Cauã (zinho) is a good professional growth curve, and plays the role of Ara in the film, a son of the "Our Father", group leader (gang were USA) biker who live their own rules - outlaws - in search of the Holy Sacred it rained. And although his character was more convincing than the one crying in the death of Joe Sixpack in the sixth chapter (22) The Rules of the Game. In short, watch the film worth it! Great national production.
