O Animal Cordial

Bear in mind that this is low budget, this is quite crazy and characters may not act as you would want them to. There is violence, there is terror, there is nudity! There are quite a lot of crazy things going on and even if you listen to the directors commentary, you may not agree or get all the reasons for the things that are happening here.

Having said that and having a heart for movies with a low budget, this is quite interesting. Well made overall, even with the flaws that may or may not interest you or bother you one way or the other. The disc I had, also had some shorts from the director which gives us even more insight to her work and what she tries to tell and how she entertains an audience. Overall shock value is given, but it also has an interesting story

I stumbled across this gem on my "tour" across Brazilian films of the past decade. This movie almost made me quit the journey. This came highly recommended by a Brazilian friend of mine. I can't even start to describe how abysmal this film is. The script makes no sense whatsoever even for a surrealist flick. Not only that, but it has one of the most laughable dialog I've ever seen on a movie that isn't a comedy. "I know what you want! You want some p*ssy juice". - yeah, that's in the movie in a supposed "tense" sequence. Production design looks like something out of a High School play. The movie takes place inside a restaurant, and they literally built a square with some 3x4. The production value of this feature is something out of student film quality. Acting is over the top throughout. My point is: stay away from this. Unless someone tells me that this is a comedy, this movie shall remain as one of the worst movies I've seen.

Lots of violence, the good kind, screenplay very good and deep, with the critcs on work in brazil means

A restaurant robbery goes wrong in this unpredictable and violent thriller, if you're expecting a more crowd pleasing movie maybe this won't be the best recommendation since this is an often slow and uncomfortable experience (it has one of the most bizarre sex scenes I've seen in a while) but, if you're looking for something less conventional it may surprise. I like how it handles social commentary and the cast is strong, however, the script kinda stumbles at the last act with a rushed and full of holes conclusion that may annoy more than disturb. Still liked it, but with caveats.

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Screenplay very unrelated, only studio scenes, caricature characters and unnecessary violence. A terrible option.
