    Great message

    This film is sooo sweet. A wonderful story that combines animal love and human relation friendship. The main actor delivered an outstanding Oscar worthy performance in this Brazilian movie. Great fun switches with bad news.

    Caramelo should get an Oscar too.

    Watch it, the high ratings here are matching with my vote of 7 out 10.

    A Tender Reminder of What Truly Matters - 10/10

    Caramelo is one of those rare films that reach into your chest and hold on to your heart long after the credits roll. On the surface, it tells the story of Pedro, a chef whose dreams are suddenly derailed by a devastating diagnosis. But at its core, it's a universal story about resilience, love, and the small, unexpected miracles that help us keep going.

    The bond between Pedro and the caramel-colored stray dog is the soul of this film. It's not just a man and his pet - it's a reflection of companionship, healing, and the beauty of finding light in the darkest times. The way their relationship unfolds feels so genuine that I often forgot I was watching actors.

    The direction is delicate and deeply human, letting moments breathe without rushing. The cinematography captures both the warmth of shared meals and the loneliness of illness, balancing joy and sorrow in a way that feels achingly real. The score is subtle but piercing, guiding your emotions without ever overwhelming them.

    I cried more than once - sometimes from sadness, sometimes from sheer beauty. Caramelo reminds us that life isn't about how much time we have, but how deeply we live and love in the time we're given.

    This isn't just a film. It's a heartfelt experience, one that will stay with me for a long time. 10/10.

    Great message

    A story that combines human love in animals and life. Well done, especially the main actor did a great job. Congratulations. The nice dog Caramelo played his part wonderfully too.. The movie sends a great message for courage and how important is a solid friendship in those situations. It will open your eyes to tell you hey man look, there are people suffering of bad maladies.i had tears in my eyes. God bless all who needs health.

    Watch it. 7/10.

    A breeze of fresh air - sweet dog movies

    Sweet and adorable movie about a dog. No profanity, nudity, drugs, sex etc. Very clean.

    The dog is adorable

    Is best to watch it in the native language Portuguese than with English audio.

    It follows the life of a Dog named Caramelo, and the struggles and challenges of the people in his life.

    By all standards (human and dog) it was a good life.

    Sweet and Comforting Stories of Friendship and Love

    The perfect team, writer, stars, and adorable little doggo pull off a charming story about courage, love, and devotion. The friendships and love are warming, the patience and kindness people have with one another-and the valiant dog who turns his own tragedy into love and devotion for the man he follows as his rescuer and best friend-all convinces team and audience alike that-yes, they do: dogs and other best friends love us and know us better than we realize and will stay by our sides. As we'll do the same for them. The film is both satisfying and lovely.
