The whole movie was terribly boring and I wanted to turn it off, but surprisingly, there was some kind of sad residue at the end, and I kind of watched it for a reason.

It doesn't even smell like a spy thriller, despite the name. The film is obviously delayed, but apparently the timing of 150+ minutes is now such a standard for critics to appreciate. I would note the camerawork, this is the main advantage of the tape, which makes it more or less watchable.

At the same time, the picture sorely lacks the integrity of the narrative. Wagner Moura's character is often surrounded by strange people, they talk about something, and it's generally difficult to figure out what it's about.

Of course, I would not give awards to a Secret Agent who is mainly for a Brazilian audience, but this is a clear candidate for the Oscar for best foreign film, and Wagner Moura has already won the Golden Globe for Best Actor, although in Narco he played Pablo Escobar much cooler and did not receive anything for it.

Watching the movie is just boring, I watched it because of my personal stubbornness. I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't have lost anything.

Such an incoherent and uninteresting film, they showed the wrong thing for an hour, then the plot abruptly switches to another direction, then the nonsense with this leg and the finale is the same as the beginning is dull. He really deserves an Oscar, because many people are no longer interested in this award.

I looked up to the middle, but I didn't have enough strength. People who have mastered, I admire you. There is no limit to your patience.

My assessment of this division is one rotten leg out of two.

I think it's a good movie.
Well, of course, it could have been shorter.
But Wagner Moura is not bad, especially when he is already playing his son in the present, and well, you believe that this is another person.
Well, the scene where the "refugees" gathered for a joint evening is very pleasant.
The ending is also great.

Maybe you can finally look at the jaws...

I also liked the chase scene!
Well, the way Armando's fate was revealed through a newspaper article..

Oh, I understand Brazil is often fucked up. The film doesn't seem to be based on real events, but it's hard to believe that such a thing could happen. It's interesting how this film is perceived if you know the history of Brazil from the time shown..

@NyanQt3_14: If you're talking about the original movie "Jaws" (about a shark, yeah), then after watching it, your opinion about this movie may change.

To be honest, it wasn't easy for me with this movie.

almost all the time, I felt like I was at a distance — I was following the characters, the conversations, all this political and historical background, I understood what he was leading to, but emotionally I never connected to the end. It's like I understand the scale, I see the intent, but the movie seemed to keep me at a distance.

but the scenes in the house are my favorites (and the scenes of Armando and his son are also very cute), Don Sebastian and all the residents brought so much warmth and life to the film that it really "earned" for me there. these moments seemed to be the most lively and cozy — in contrast to everything that was happening outside. sometimes I found myself thinking that I wanted the film to stay there longer.

as a result, I have very mixed feelings. I can't say that I didn't like him — he obviously has a lot of care, strong work by the actors, and a thoughtful world. But I didn't have that emotional connection that everyone is talking about. maybe this is one of those movies that catches up later — it just hasn't happened to me yet.

Wagner Moura van love and that's it.

The film is heavy, it is necessary to approach the viewing. And know the history of Brazil.
I and many others have failed. But he's obviously good, we just didn't get it.

I didn't understand anything. There are movies in which nothing happens, literally. It's just that the characters walk from side to side, they say, they walk from side to side again, but it's interesting. But that's not the case here at all. Maybe it's because I don't know the story and don't understand the context, but it was boring to watch.

It's a very boring movie, I didn't like it. Someone is walking somewhere, talking to someone, but it didn't work out for me. You probably need to really know the history/culture of Brazil in order to appreciate the film. But I'm far from Brazil in every sense, so I hardly watched it to the end.
