- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who'll be humming afterwards and the curious. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Cabaret or The Muppet Christmas Carol? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
