A Busca

It seems that everything with Wagner Moura in it is quite good. No exception here. Totally engaging film.

A good story is not its storyline, a story is its theme. The theme may hide behind the plot and only gradually show up.

This movie tells a good story. Its storyline follows a father who is looking for his runaway son. The theme behind it is the structure of the Brazilian society, the separation of the bourgeois class from the poor, the destitute, the hopeless. You should see it, even if it's only the Portuguese version. No, you should try to see it just because it IS the Portuguese version.

Very good drama thriller road movie, with nice script and excellent actors. Delicate, moving and well paced. Quite underrated!

Father's chair (the 2012 one!) in brazil, it's a busca...which is "the search". Wagner moura is theo, who is fighting with his wife and also his son. The familiy seems to be coming apart, and everyone just yells at the top of their lungs. So son pedro takes off. And when the parentals realize he's gone away, they get frantic. Even his friends don't know where he's gone! Of course, it's every parent's nightmare. But kids run away. And he might be teaching them a lesson. But... theo gets so desperate looking for pedro, he does bad things along the way. But he's a father, trying so hard to find his son. It's pretty good. Long pauses, in dialog and in action. Not for the impatient! Directed by luciano moura. Can't help but notice the same last name on the director and the lead here. This appears to be the only film they have made together. It could be a very common family name for all i know.

Masterpiece. This movie is all about life, family, love and passion. Didn't wanted to watch at first, had to be convinced by wife. Boy i was so wrong!

Wagner Moura plays a father who tries to save his family, lost them long ago due to his inability to love. Stuck into the system, just like everybody else (work, stress, dark past, so on). During the journey to rescue his son, he then slowly starts to understand how far they got from each other.

A man trying to rescue his soul. I'm surprised with the low rating (6.2) here, for it's a big 10!
