O Pátio da Saudade

This movie was supposed to be a comedy, yet I didn't laugh once.

Good parts- Story was nice and wholesome.

Good visuals and cinematography.

Sara Matos and a few other actors (old men from the theatre and Lola) were good.

Bad parts... 1-Bad acting, most characters were annoying, unpleasant to watch given the story etc, and unfunny.

2-The end feels rushed and could have been explored further and some parts I disliked of it.

3-Movie was sold as a comedy and yet its not... The "jokes" and "gags" are all bad.

4- The absolute WORST of the movie was something that shocked me... This was actually not a movie, but just a big add for a ..casino Website (Betclic.pt)..

Conclusion- I don't advise anyone to watch, the only big good thing is just that the story is good but the downsides really hurt it, specialy being a shameless add to a imoral buissness (casino/casino websites) that destroy lives.

Thanks for reading my review of "Patio da Saudade 2025"

This is basically a comedy which focus on the story of a famous actress who tries to revive the Portuguese revue scene!

The scenes were very colorful, gorgeous and well-filmed with great views of Lisbon and its ancient buildings. However, the storyline was hard to follow with no almost logic and very convenient resolutions.

Not really my cup of tea but an interesting piece for older Portuguese people to remember the good old days of the Portuguese revue with their nephews!
