Annoying characters and a stupid story that makes you look at your watch every 5 minutes wondering how much more it will take to make to the end!!!
It's seems unfair that in a country where making a movie is such a struggle like Brazil, some talentless filmmaker can make garbage like this while others will never havee the chance!
And also the cast is terrible and the soundtrack is AWFUL!
Kanabuma repeatedly states his liking of other Argentinian movies. This movie is not Argentinian at all, it's from Brazil. This is akin to confusing the US with Mexico.
In Barra de Tijuana in the richer outer parts of Rio de Janeiro we meet a gang of usually bored youths full of hormones, living a sheltered life. Well, that's until a serial killer turn up in the neighborhood. Young Bia is very fascinated by the killings, especially when she and her best friends find one one the girls in the bush, just before her life runs out. Bia is obsessed with sex, and her cute boyfriend Paulo, gives in to her needs, though he'd really like to keep away from sex until marriage, and tries to get Bia a bit more religious.
More shouldn't be said, but the film is filled with great stuff, well filmed, and great and well suited soundtrack. he film is never boring, and we find a lot of mystery going on. Bia's mysterious brother is also taking a great part.
The writer and director Anita Rocha da Silveira has made an exiting, beautiful, drama thriller with horror elements which is difficult to forget, and is most certainly taking the Brazilian youth right on the head. She has told her inspirations are David Lynch, Dario Argento, Brian De Palma and Claire Denis, and this is quite obvious. Especially Lynch mystery can be found here.

- TriviaMichele tells the other girls about a murder that took place in that region of Rio de Janeiro, where a young actress was killed by her co-star. What many don't know is that this fact is based on a true crime. In 1992, actor Guilherme de Pádua, along with his ex-wife Paula, murdered the actress Daniella Perez, who was acting in the telenovela - soap opera - De Corpo e Alma (1992). The couple used a pair of scissors in the crime and even though they were convicted, they did not serve the entire sentence that consisted of 19 years in prison; what revolted the country, which was already shocked and dismayed by such barbarism, since the motive for the crime was futile and torpid: Guilherme did not accept a no from Daniela, who at the time was already married with another actor.
