It seemed interesting... until the end ...

I am disappointed with this movie. The positive: It is not a great film, but at least it has a good pace throughout the whole story (it has a TV movie quality but it is ok). The performances are not wow, but the actors are attractive. The story deals, in part, with the issue of bisexual relationships, which are often difficult to understand or explain for people (even bisexual people themselves) given the binary world in which we live. And it also revolves around "connection" and love that arises spontaneously, regardless of the age difference of the lovers. The negative: All of the above is destroyed in the last 5 minutes of the film. The script falls, for no reason, into an impossible melodrama typical of the most cheesy telenovela/soap opera. And that's the end. To rate the movie, I'm going to pretend that ending didn't happen.

Only "Brokeback Mountain" surpasses the soul-touching perfection that "Teus Olhos Meus/Soulbound" brings to the screen. The performers inhabit their roles perfectly and fill this love-story with genuine emotion and earnest, human struggle. In this film, every element converges successfully to take the viewer on an impossibly subtle ride through an authentic landscape fraught with the highs and lows of human relationships. The entire ride unfolds smoothly and organically with no false-steps to break the spell cast by these enchanters. In truth, I completely forgot that I was on a fantastic roller-coaster until the ride ended, and I was facing the wonderful, reeling, and real emotional after effects of great movie-making, just like "Brokeback Mountain". I will never forget this movie.
