Not a bad movie!

But definitely not a good one either. There is always an "amateur" vibe on the plot, on extra actors, and even on main actors on some parts. Picture, camera angles and soundtrack are pretty good and overall message is a good one too. I understand where this movie aimed, and it's ok, but Brazilian cinema certainly has movies which aimed much higher.

Wonderful movie !

What a wonderful movie ! It was such a joy to watch a lighthearted gay themed movie with a happy ending. I would love to see more movies like this being made. There is a great chemistry between the two lead actors Paulo Sousa (Lucas) and Thiago Cazado (Mario) which was incredibly believable. The Aunt (Juliana Zancanaro) was really funny and topped off a perfect film. I highly recommend Primos (Cousins) if you want to watch a perfect, gay themed feel good movie.

I watched this on Vimeo's On Demand service and it was great to see so many positive comments.

Sweet gay romance

Two cousins meet and house sit for a mutual aunt who is off on a trip. It does not take long for the boys to be attracted to each other and to begin a sweet relationship. This film is funny, romantic and very sexy. There are religious bigots minding everyone else's business, a shrewish ex girlfriend of one of the boys and a switch on the old idea that religion condemns "the gays" when a critical few of them see the young men's love for each other as a good example to others. And so on. The young men are very attractive and sexy because they are so real and present in their roles. Delightful.

Unexpected and different

The film has an interesting aesthetic, clearly had a good production, however, the performances leave the experience very distressing at certain times, almost like an amateur film for YouTube. The plot is simple, but still thought-provoking, with some unexpected and positive twists.

In spite of everything, I know that making cinema in Brazil is not easy and I congratulate you for that, for exposing yourself in this way and trying to do something that deviates from the standards.

Sweet, romantic and light

The movie is so sweet, especially with the actors, chemistry between lucas and mario was fantastic. No intense drama, no akward plot twist just pure sweet romantic and lovely portrayals of young gay love in the midsts of christian values and catholic customs and the challange of acceptance. A must watch

Trivia
When, at the start of the movie, around 2:08, Julia asks Lucas to set up keyboard lessons, he is arranging the sheet music, a careful eye will spot... behind the sheet music is an Astérix and Obélix comic book.

Goofs
When Mario arrives, Lucas is not wearing a nose/septum ring, nor is he wearing one as he shows Mario the bedroom... but when they then go into the bathroom, Lucas is wearing a septum ring, which has gone again while Lucas sits in the living room and Mario is singing in the shower. Lucas's septum ring then reappears a few minutes later when the guys are sitting in the kitchen eating chicken.
