Cousins

I thought this movie was very sweet. Both leads are attractive and together they had great chemistry. They really felt right together. The sex scenes were hot and yet also romantic and tastefully done. It really felt like the characters were making love rather than just having sex yet the passion of new romance shined through and the intimacy was breathtaking. That their aunt supported her nephews' relationship because of her religion instead of in spite of it was an important message of the film in my opinion. . There are so many gay themed movies out there that focus on the less happy parts of the culture such as hate crimes, depression, promiscuity , drugs, sickness, mental health issues, cheating, homophobia etc. I get that all exists and there's value in focusing attention on the challenges many face due to their sexuality but I will say I'd love to see more gay romances like this one. . It's refreshing and heartwarming to see a gay themed romance that is feel good and actually has a happy ending for a change.

9.5 Stars....Initially, at the beginning, I thought this was going to be a dim-witted comedy. By the end I loved it. In fact, I started watching again after the credits had rolled! As others have mentioned, the chemistry between Mario and Lucas was some of the most beautiful and realistic chemistry I have seen in any gay film anywhere. It reminded me of the French film Just A Question Of Love (2001) given the naturalness of the actors in Cousins. Both the main actors, Thiago Cazado; who also did a great job directing, and Paulo Sousa were both outstanding, and the actress who played Aunt Lourdes did a really fine job also. The writing was also excellent, as was the cinematography. Any hope of a sequel guys?

The film has an interesting aesthetic, clearly had a good production, however, the performances leave the experience very distressing at certain times, almost like an amateur film for YouTube. The plot is simple, but still thought-provoking, with some unexpected and positive twists.

In spite of everything, I know that making cinema in Brazil is not easy and I congratulate you for that, for exposing yourself in this way and trying to do something that deviates from the standards.

The movie is so sweet, especially with the actors, chemistry between lucas and mario was fantastic. No intense drama, no akward plot twist just pure sweet romantic and lovely portrayals of young gay love in the midsts of christian values and catholic customs and the challange of acceptance. A must watch

Two cousins meet and house sit for a mutual aunt who is off on a trip. It does not take long for the boys to be attracted to each other and to begin a sweet relationship. This film is funny, romantic and very sexy. There are religious bigots minding everyone else's business, a shrewish ex girlfriend of one of the boys and a switch on the old idea that religion condemns "the gays" when a critical few of them see the young men's love for each other as a good example to others. And so on. The young men are very attractive and sexy because they are so real and present in their roles. Delightful.
