This documentary on dramatic 2018 presidential election has good intentions but an irregular outcome. It is excessively loose and overly concentrated in director Maria Ribeiro herself (even reminding The Edge of Democracy for sharing this bad choice). I do not think that wedding metaphor worked either (and the bride dress was a weird choice in the beginning!). On what concerns to interviews, testimonies and texts, they vary a lot in quality, ranging from intelligent and deep to dumb conventional wisdom. However, the good moments and the good technical quality compensate somewhat the flaws.
