Elis

I was blessed to have seen Elis Regina upon the stage. This movie tells you a lot of what you need to know about our star's career from the start. Elis's pains and steadfast desire to be free at a sad time when freedom was half enjoyed by a few, and not at all by real Brazilians find a way to lend a voice to those muffled by a cynical and ruthless regime that should stay buried forever, and never be allowed to see the light again. But none of that matters more than the soundtrack. Oh, those songs! It's Elis. Queen Elis. Elis Regina!

What a beautiful and sad portrait, the certainty that she was a phenomenal singer, and definitely Ronaldo Bôscoli was a terrible husband and a despicable father, he wanted a film about the dramatic lives of children after their mother's death, especially of the first-born, poor boy... The track sound of the film, perfect and impeccable, it couldn't be different, Andréia Horta is wonderful, dictatorship and repression, sad, beautiful biography, deserved...

Loved elis want to know more - but the film really is just jumping from one highlight of her life to another stuffing in any number of beautiful songs

What a beautiful and touching movie! The sensitiveness of the director amazed me as he was able to show this great singer as an idol and a human being at the same time. It must have been tough to choose what events of her life to tell in only two hours as she's gone through so many things during her short lived life, but he was able to stay true to who she was and to show how she evolved from a talented young singer, to major success, and her early death fighting her own demons. No words to describe Andrea Horta!!! What an amazing and powerful acting!! Elis lived again through her. Beautiful photography, arts and costume designs!! A must see!!

This biographical film explores the professional and personal life of the singer Elis Regina. It offers a trip into the atmosphere of the Bresil of the sixties and the seventies. A real effort of reconstitution of the choreography, cloth, furniture, etc. has been made. The actress performs very well in different areas. Time passes quickly as it has several rebounds.
