Welll A @Azevader88 Oct 13, 2026 Great Film. Excellent performances from the entire cast, especially Leandra Leal and Irandhir Santos, who carry the film (Irene Ravache steals the scene); script and direction capture well the brutality of the insidious relationships between jogo do bicho, carnival, politics and crime in Rio de Janeiro; photographed with whimsy and without frills. Some character decisions sound stupid, like arguing in front of the federal police delegate who is investigating them, and I didn't believe that couple there would be so stupid. The ending is shocking and unbelievable, it broke me. The entire film team is to be congratulated, everyone involved is a high-level professional. . #Globoplay See more Runa R @runa.r Jan 8, 2026 A few months ago, I had the opportunity to see the actor Irandhir Santos at the international film festival "FESTin", where he won the award for Best Actor for his performance in the fiction film "Enquanto o Céu não me Espera" (in english: "While Heaven Doesn't Wait for Me"). This film also received the award for Best Fiction Film at the same festival. A few months later, I find myself watching him again in the cinema, this time in "Carnival Is Over" (original title "Os Enforcados" / "The Hanged"), and once more both the film and the actor are outstanding. The film has a compelling narrative and excellent performances throughout, including that of Pêpê Rapazote, who plays a Federal Police inspector. See more Read all reviews
