Cidade Louca

Great! Truly made an impact! Milo Ventimiglia is exceptional!

Good story with some good acting and characterizations far and beyond the usual celluloid. Milo Ventimiglia and Rachel Melvin are effective in their roles..

Most of the places I've worked were small with bosses who treated me just like part of their family, perhaps more so than my own, so I could relate to that aspect of this story. Therefore I disagree with those who felt it wasn't realistic (and who cares if it weren't anyway, it's a story !)

I just felt like the timing was way off for everything. Several of the leads acted their parts expertly, but much of the rest of the cast was mediocre. Three weeks isn't long enough to get to know anyone to be treating them like long lost children I think. And I don't want to spoil the ending, so all I will say about that is the cops were some of the worst actors I've ever seen.

I have not seen a movie this good in years. It was produced with a very small budget, according to the director and producers, but has the look and feel of a large studio release. The movie is well cast, the acting is excellent. The story is well structured and the characters are believable and engaging. Everything is well put together from the editing to the soundtrack. Not for youngsters for sure, and even if you think you know where the story is going, you will be in for a surprise here and there. No car chase scenes with vehicles flying over gorges, no over-the-top pyrotechnics, no super heroes with magic powers...just a good story, well told. I encourage you to see this film when it is playing near you, or ask your local independent theater to inquire about showing it at their venue.

This movie has a very powerful story and themes. It goes deep into the human mind and finds how relationships work. The characters are likable and interesting with more to them than what appears on the surface. It is paced very well and is very impressive.

The only issues I have is the score is severely lacking in identity and doesn't feel organic and the ending, while has some very powerful moments, leaves some plot lines unfinished. I would recommend this to nearly anyone, the story (even if you can't find it too relatable) has a lot of things to say about love, family, and your past.
