[Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 15, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 8 (2023) 4/5 EDIT “The core theme of the episode (and, maybe, of the series itself) is Ellie's capacity for violence - actually, more than that: her tendency to embrace it without much hesitation.

[Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 6, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 5 (2023) 4/5 EDIT “The greatest evidence that the creators are fully aware of how talented Bella Ramsey is lies in the decision to portray the horror of a specific incident only by showing us her reaction.

[Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Feb 7, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 3 (2023) 5/5 EDIT “By focusing on two characters that touch the main plot only tangentially, Mazin and Druckmann make a creative decision that, far from diluting the impact of the series, masterfully enriches it. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Jan 31, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 2 (2023) 4/5 EDIT “It takes an unexpected direction for a new series by focusing on the characters, taking the time to develop the dynamic between them and to offer a little more information about who they are (or what they have become).

[Full review in Portuguese.]” – Cinema em Cena Nov 9, 2017 Full Review The Keepers: Season 1 (2017) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Its main accomplishment resides in its decision to focus not on the crime, but on the victims, giving them the voice that was denied to them for so long.
