COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Unwatchable, bleak garbage. submitted by Tassos on January 21, 2019, 10:43am Could not watch more than a few minutes of this depressing movie.
So good! submitted by dtarrago on August 7, 2023, 11:31pm Portrait of life in a favela in Rio. It’s violent, depressing, yet humorous at times, managing to weave in multiple stories without feeling too long. Film is famous for a reason!
