Frans B @FransB Jul 31, 2026 Brilliant! Very well written and directed. Great cinematography really adds to the feeling of reality in this movie. Rita Blanco really excels in character, whole cast shines convincingly. Lots of family drama, dilemma, struggle, challenges, emotion, intrigue and dynamics of everyday life. Just a pity Amazon Prime did not translate the audio language to English (shown in original Portuguese) , oh well, the broken English subtitles have to suffice I guess? Very captivating and filled with life lessons See more Daniel S @RT08123927 Aug 24, 2021 Beautiful recount of the matriarchal nature of families in Portugal. See more Feb 21, 2013 Well constructed with exceptional sound design creating a very lived-in close-quarters experience. The stories themselves eventually become too much of a soap opera and the cinematography, while often very creative, well composed, and well lighted, regularly falls prey to the combined sabotage of digital capture and digital projection and ends up looking like a cheaply shot telenovela. See more Nov 3, 2012 The movie demands an appreciation of the art of dialogue. The characters have great depth and the story of a close but very flawed Portuguese family is quite compelling through most of the film. Many of the frames contain two subplots at once and a very intriguing dual dialogue. The film comes in a bit long for the subject matter and will have trouble holding the attention of casual film audiences. However, this is a very interesting film.
