Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

forropdx I do not recommend this film and as another reviewer has stated, it is not a good representation of the country or even the city of Recife, Brazil. It is needlessly depressing. If you can take the movie as a criticism of life itself, it could have more meaning. The stereotypes and innuendos depicted about Brazilian life are not characteristic of the subject. The spiritual journey of the main character is depicted as a positive one, but it suggests that the only escape available for her is to have a solitary life.

Bruno Elias Silva (MindDazer) People have done some terrible comments saying that it's one of the worst films they've ever seen and even telling other people not to waste their time watching it. I guess they didn't get the spirit of the film. It's NOT supposed to have a moral ending like most hollywoodian movies have. It just enters the lives of some people and how they connect at some point. The phrase in the ending reveals a lot about the meaning of the movie. It tells that there are some days that everything happens... changes are needed after some drastic events, dreams are crushed, etc. Despite that, life goes on. The world continues its existence no matter what have just happened to you and to those around you. I especially admired how the life of the butcher's wife changed after that day. From a super-religious woman, a very "correct" person, she changed to a sex maniac, thus exposing the true nature of her mind. There are some really interesting characters in this movie, with the priest being my favorite. I think his wisdom is just astonishing. Kinda anti-religious as someone commented here. Many movies have religious propaganda and you don't see anyone complaining about it. So, It's NOT a waste of time IF you watch without expectations, just "drink" the film the way it is and you'll like it.

Ntumbuluku To comment on the moribund nature of society? If that's what you're into then watch the evening news and save two hours of your life. It is rare that I watch a movie and feel that it fails to portray any kind of worthwhile social commentary--especially when the movie, from the beginning, seems determined to try to do so. Amarelo Manga becomes an unintentional parody of sweeping social commentary and fades, instead, into fascination with the sexually deviant. I give it three stars because Matheus Nachtergaele gives a memorable performance as a gay hotel tramp who is always trying to involve himself in others' affairs (and get them involved in his). His performance notwithstanding, this movie is not worth the time.

Ferdinando This is one of the best brazilian movies I have ever seen. The way the characters' stories get connected to each other along the movie is really amazing. Some of all the poverty, violence and social disease so common at a humble landscape of Brazil is depicted on the screen through a great script and dazzling photography. Although the sharp sense of humour of some characters this movie contains the right amount of reality that some people may not feel comfortable to watch. For those who have the guts, this motion picture is a perfect portrait of a brazilian unfair society that may remain in the mind of the audiences for quite along. Shocking, hilarious and tough. Two thumbs up!
