Our take
The first Brazilian film to win an Oscar®, Walter Salles’s masterful biographical drama sheds crucial light on one of the most harrowing periods in the country’s history. In a towering performance that speaks truth to power, Fernanda Torres channels the pain and the resilience of a generation.
