It earned strong reviews (84% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Same wavelength as Maurice.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 12 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
In this short story, João and Pedro live in this garden. What João wants the most is for Pedro to be happy and the only way he found to make that happen is to support him in his escape with Sara. On the other hand, Pedro learned how to love João and does not want to leave the garden. But one of them ate the forbidden fruit.
