Reviews
Diagonaldi Very well executed
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Bruno Raphael When he opened his eyes André Luiz (Renato Prieto) knows that he is no longer alive, despite still feeling thirsty and hungry. Around him he sees only darkness and a desert plain, characterized by shouting and beings who live in the shadow. After going through too much suffering in purgatory (which is called Umbral), André is taken to the city of Nosso Lar. There he has access to new lessons and knowledge, while learning what life is like in another dimension. Nosso Lar is not heaven, it is like a hospital, a school, a transit area. It is an incredible world full of life and activities going on all the time, organised in an exemplary way by the Spirits. Allowing us to foresee the Spiritual World that awaits us.
carolinemiranda This movie was fascinating! The effects are fantastic and the scenario very captivating.Sends you to a place where you can't help but put yourself in Andre's shoes and think of what you want to do with your life. As for the message sent by the movie, it is one that warms the heart and awakens questions about life, love, selflessness and how you affect your life and the life of those around you by simply existing. As a scientist I have gone through life battling with the fear of death. After watching Nosso Lar something inside me changed. I won't say I am a believer now, but I feel at least hope ...I recommend it for anyone who one day has wondered what happens when you part.
glaucorolim This film was the best one in 2010 because put in the main screen the most famous book of Chico Xavierbrings a new spiritual way to see life (not so new for 'espíritas'= a philosophical movement born in France, but Brazil have the main followers today, see 'Allan Kardek' for more information) - it doesn't have violence (common in 'good' films today) - actors were very good and the history was perfect showing the spiritual growth of a person (André Luiz) - the special effects were superb, carefully done - music by Philip Glass, no comments... very beautiful This film is controversial for many people because brings subjects as reincarnation, life after death so on
Leonardo Novaes This movie for me, was like felting all of my believes. with a nice calm, and slow rhythm that makes us experience this movie in a different way.There is no rush or dialogs to explain the faith, its a matter to understand for your self, make you think things, re-think your life. The special effects didn't interfere with the basis of the story, just make it more beautiful to watch!People who are "Espiritas" will see their believes materialized, in gorgeous set, they use some nice locations, and transform they a little bit, but i think the idea was to show that heaven "Nosso Lar" is not so different from here on earth, on our world we just need to make it more peaceful, and less capitalist, less noise, less selfish.i'm not a review writer (its my first) but i felt it would be important to write what i felt.
