Reviews for Warrior of Light
The filmmaker tramps from one indistinguishable favela to another in a mind-numbing show-and-tell of de Mello's work.
When it sticks to Bezerra de Mello, who's a genuine heroine despite her joking disavowals of her importance, it's riveting.
This remarkable woman has no messianic illusions, despite her celebrity.
