No Other Land (2024) 100% 5/5 “No Other Land is a maddening film that exposes how cruel is the daily life of a people treated as invaders in their own nation. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 94% 3/5 “The movie knows how patience can be an important virtue in a work like this; it never accelerates its pace for fear of losing the viewer and, thus, it respects the main character´s own pace. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% 4/5 “From Snowpiercer to Parasite, including The Host and Okja (in which another of his concerns – animal abuse – is addressed), Bong Joon Ho uses his political sensitivity as a creative source – something once again evident in Mickey 17. [Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 6, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 5/5 “It honors Eunice's courage through her determination to not allow the military regime to eliminate her family's love for life or erase the memory of Rubens, turning her smile into defiance and her persistence into a weapon. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 2/5 “Folie à Deux achieves a feat that few sequels – even the worst ones – have accomplished: it makes the original film worse in retrospect. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Longlegs (2024) 86% 4/5 “The film builds an oppressive atmosphere that keeps the viewer hostage in a universe filled with disappointment, pain and tragedy. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Aug 25, 2024 Full Review Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% 4/5 “This is the sequel/prequel we´ve been waiting for almost a quarter of a century. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Aug 17, 2024 Full Review Road House (2024) 60% 3/5 “Road House embraces its own silliness and presents it in a genuine, sincere way, never trying to become something it isn't. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Ferrari (2023) 72% 4/5 “Michael Mann's Cinema is populated by men obsessed with their work, whether legal or not; thus, it´s easy to understand why he would be attracted to Enzo Ferrari's story. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 15, 2024 Full Review The Iron Claw (2023) 89% 4/5 “It takes the universe it portrays as seriously as its characters - and any approach other than that would only serve to diminish and ridicule them. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Love Lies Bleeding (2024) 94% 5/5 “It´s a genre(s) exercise that firmly establishes Rose Glass at the top of the list of great revelations in recent years. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 4/5 “The picture doesn´t ignore the Orientalism described by Edward Said in its own approach and how this influences the viewer's perception of the characters no matter how much the film tries to avoid those pitfalls. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) 78% 3/5 “It´s not like the movie needed to be hostile to Bernstein´s legacy or strive to portray him negatively, but by softening the most problematic aspects of his trajectory it comes close to seeming like an institutional affair. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 4/5 “Coppola's approach may generate confusion and even recrimination for not blatantly condemning Elvis; this, however, is a reflection not of a hypothetical indulgence on her part, but of the point of view that guides the movie. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Toll (2023) 100% 4/5 “Unfortunately, as the picture illustrates perfectly, intolerance often ends up proving to be stronger than family and friendship ties, destroying connections that in other circumstances would be the causes of great joy. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% 2/5 “The picture fails to do the most important thing: to illuminate why the self-proclaimed Emperor was such a revered figure and what drove his ambitions. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Nov 24, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 5/5 “The picture works as character study, historical record, romantic tragedy, thriller, western and, finally, as atonement. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 5/5 “Barbie is a small miracle. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% 5/5 “This movie resembles a nightmare that torments not only the protagonist, but all of humanity. A horror that still lives and that finds a perfect representation in Cillian Murphy's haunted eyes. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 70% 3/5 “Even if it doesn´t live up to the original trilogy (how could it?), this film certainly presents itself as a much more worthy farewell to one of the most iconic characters that Cinema has created than the last one. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Jul 4, 2023 Full Review Kill Boksoon (2023) 79% 4/5 “Jeon Do-yeon´s performance is fantastic; she manages to create a multidimensional character within an absurd framework. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Apr 9, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 5/5 “It's impossible not to applaud the audacity in opening the movie with a reference to Lawrence of Arabia and ending it with one to The Warriors, not fearing comparison despite the prejudice with which the genre is seen by many. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Apr 2, 2023 Full Review Tchaikovsky's Wife (2022) 85% 4/5 “It may not evoke the weight of the tragedy that it portrays successfully enough for us to suffer for the couple, but it is ambitious enough for us to appreciate the exercise that results from this effort. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 31, 2023 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% 1/5 “The Whale is indefensible, turning out to be a silly melodrama that views its protagonist with a loathing it tries to present as empathy. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 4, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% 3/5 “Knock at the Cabin works very well as we watch it, which is a step up from Shyamalan's latest efforts, which usually fell apart in real time. [Full review in Portuguese]” – Cinema em Cena Mar 3, 2023 Full Review
