A compelling, richly researched film that builds upon Da-Rin's documentary experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2021

The Fever is a calm and quiet and subtle film, a little inert perhaps, but deeply engaged with the hidden lives of Brazil's indigenous people. There is poetry in it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 3, 2021

It is to Da-Rin's talent as a filmmaker that her political and ideological intent never overshadow this deceptively simple and astute tale of a sick man yearning for his home, and finally hearing the call of the wild.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 16, 2021

With its recursive structure mirroring Justino's own monotonous days, "The Fever" languidly creates a portrait of a man immobilized by his own inaction.

By showing us the world through Justino's searching gaze, Da-Rin gives us an elusive but powerful sense of the limits of our own vision.

In the film, Manaus is a place of irreconcilable tension between the lush natural world and the cold, metallic world of industrial modernity.
