This movie was on Brazil's list of nominees for the Oscars, but was not nominated by Brazil. "Ghost Portraits" is chosen to represent Brazil at the Oscars.

Maeve Jinkings will soon win a Palme d'Or at Cannes. This is the director's second movie. I preffer the first movie called "carvão". "Pedágio" could have been excellent if it had developed the problematic "gay cure" more. The part of crime is very good, now every time I pass a toll I remember this scene.

This movie is very important. Films like this are often not shown in theaters or streaming services. It's important to reflect on this.

I recommend this movie.

My note: 7/10.

This movie is very similar to Elite Squad. It´s about public security in Brazil. The plot is an adaptation of the political invasion of the Alemão Favela, a very famous moment in TV from Brazil. I recommend it. 8/10.
