In line with the Fado,no singer can just be its interpreter without context. There has to be some sort of history attached, the difficult life of a hyper-sensitive and highly emotional constitution to bring the sadness and pain of its songs. Not many people can understand that. These is the love and influence of the soap opera, a genre that latins like...and that runs in primetime! Yes, it is over-the-top, sentimental, passionate, sometimes tacky. But if you don't understand that, you are missing much of what latinos feel and are. And that includes Portugal.

For those who grew up in a Latin country then, the apparent corny excceses could very well pass as realistic. We have seen it, we have lived it, it's the culture.

One of the worst movies I've seen in my life. Bad... acting, directing, script, editing, music (none, except a Wagner overture). I watched just because it was short.

Witty and engaging. Laura is the Movie. Better than most such movies out there.
