I mean no offence, and hope Brazilian film-maker Kleber Mendonça Filho takes none, when I say Aquarius could be a stage play. Mar 23, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

"Aquarius" is about a half-hour too long for the story it tells, yet it feels like a privilege to be in the presence of such a powerful character and such a quietly commanding performance. Nov 8, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

This isn't a movie about a situation; it's a movie about a fully formed, red-blooded character dealing with a situation while also dealing with everything else. Oct 28, 2016 | Rating: A | Full Review…

This is a film more about the sacredness of our memories than the evil ways of gentrification, but skilled director Kleber Mendonca Filho is clearly interested in both. Oct 27, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The film is centered on Sonia Braga's unimpeachable performance, the best of the year, in a role that you'd imagine someone like Gena Rowlands' would've taken in the 70s and early 80s Feb 8, 2019 | Full Review…
