Medida Provisória

The idea is original but was very badly executed. Starting with a lousy screenplay - full of clichés and unnecessary lines - and a dreadful direction. What a waste!

Can we drop the whole "wokeness" accusations for a bit and really watch and pay attention about what the movie is really about?

That's not a premonition movie where the situation's bound to happen somewhere in the next years.

I feel like the film uses a way of showing the audience what it's like to be a minority living in a predominantly white country, but exaggerating the narrative so that everyone can understand.

The point is, we're all scared this situation is possible to happen at any time, depending on our government and population.

The only thing that made me sad was seeing the underacting of the actors, which were following the famous Theatre/strict to the script acting.

Alfred Enoch is such a good actor, and the only time we see him shine was at the end of the movie where he shows true emotions.

Besides the novel acting, I loved everything about the movie.

Cinematography, Script, Storytelling, Seu Jorge's performance were awesome.

"I know what you're thinking ... 'this guy probably hated this film because of his political views". Well Consider this, what I would say in terms of this movie, if you were on a plane, and you had only this film available to watch, you might just enjoy spend your time looking at a empty air sickness bag, than spend one hour and a half watching this piece of ragged thriller.

I am a big fan of Lazaro Ramos, the actor. But Lazaro Ramos, the director just let me down. Poor argumentation, bad acting, disposable dialogues and scenes (like the sensual samba dancing while talking about a favorite song to be chosen), annoying characters (come on seu Jorge, have you seen this film before releasing it?). I just can't believe seu Jorge accepted a role like that, he is so badass. Some of the best names of Brazil cinema caught on a trap. Sad to see and give this kind of review because I love these people, storyline was really promising and some absurd situations really happens in Brazil.

"Do we realize when history is happening?" As absurd as it is real, some dialogues hurt the soul, exuding racism in such a natural and hateful way, the irony, Provisional Measure 1.888, the reparation would not be to return the whites to Europe, in exchange for the return of our gold, remembering that there is no pedigree among the so-called whites... There are so many layers, but if you analyze the speeches, however absurd they may be, they are exactly the same as those of the extreme right, politicians, lovers of dictatorship and fascism, comedians, in short, cattle... A courageous, wonderful, controversial, captivating film....

In a dystopian future, an authoritarian Brazilian government orders all black citizens to move to the African continent as a way to make amends for the times of slavery, creating chaos, protests and a resistance movement in almost the entire nation.
