It's not really a 10/10, but it's a gripping movie which tells an important story that is especially relevant in a world that is flirting more and more brazenly with fascism.
For those who think this movie serves as propaganda, that is simply not the case. The main characters aren't glorified or lionized, at least not to the standards of the genre. They're distinctively human and they commit some terrible actions. Their flaws and mistakes aren't hidden, but they are given a context that allows you to comprehend the situation.
The acting is stellar and it's very easy to forget that the main character is a well-known singer. In fact I found myself questioning several times whether it was really Seu Jorge, or if it was perhaps only his brother.
I did feel like some scenes didn't flow that well into each other and that is my main criticism. The two and a half hours flew by very quickly due to how intense it is and I honestly wouldn't mind an even longer version that flows a bit more naturally.
score 10/10
