certainly it's a story we've seen before: cranky person saddled with kid learns compassion and reconnects with humanity. what keeps the viewer engaged is the wonderful performance of fernanda montenegro pulling it back from the brink of sentimentality and the lovingly photographed brazilian countryside

Wonderful film. Fernanda Montenegro & Vinicius de Oliveira really stole my heart.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed this. The chemistry between the two leads is imense and Salles beautiful photographs the landscape of Brazil superbly. You get the sense of how isolated the country can get and how a boy can change the personality of an aging woman. Now I must watch more of Salles' work.
