Brazil, beginning of the 20th Century. Fastly growing city of São Paulo. Slavery has just been abolished. Three women of the Soares family, former owners of lands and slaves, just came back to the city. Lost after the death of their last housemaid slave, they struggle to adapt to the changes in Brazil. At the same time, the Nascimento family, who used to work as slaves in the Soares farm are now facing a society in which there is no space for the recently freed black people. Between Brazil's past and present, out of place, they all fight to survive in the modern world.

Jonathan Romney Screen International A stately, eccentric fiction that merges cultural-political history with outré melodrama - a potentially heady mix, but one that plays out here to stiffly academic effect. Feb 23, 2020 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter It's a movie that's all subtext and no text - and even the subtext struggles to make a point that's more complex than a blunt truth. Feb 23, 2020 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety The film's worthy goals are hampered by an obviousness that favors exposition over subtlety... Feb 23, 2020 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage A hard to understand story, but with an interesting premise. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2023 Full Review M.G. Mailloux In Review Online [All the Dead Ones] is a welcome, unequivocal rejection of assimilation and assertion that colonization isn't just a bad memory, but a present and still-honored tradition. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily For all its formal rigidity, the last half-hour of All the Dead Ones does come thrillingly alive as ghosts from a history of cruelty, both literal and metaphorical, arise to claim their place.
