Morangos com Açúcar (2023)
What is the genre of this series after all?
I'm writing this review in Season 2, Episode 4. They say this series is about the disappearance of a young girl, but in reality, it's the unrealistic day-to-day life of teenagers at Barra High School. So many stories are told that the main plot takes a backseat, barely appearing in the series.
A lot happens, but it's not relevant to understanding what really happened to the missing girl. If there's a potential culprit, that information ends up getting lost in the various stories of the teenagers that add nothing to the mystery of the missing girl.
The timeline is confusing. The viewer is left not understanding whether it's been 1 day or several. In some episodes, it implies that a week has passed.
In summary: it's very confusing. The only good thing is the cinematography, but even that could be improved.
So, what's the genre of this series after all? Drama and comedy, yes. Mystery? They seem to have forgotten about it.
Listen (2020)
Could be better.
A film that criticizes UK social services. Being poor is not a reason to take children away from their parents, but they should receive social support.
Story: 6*
Actors: 5*. There is the exception of Lúcia Moniz who carried the film on her shoulders. 8*
Photography: 4*
Music/Sound: 4*
Best part: courtroom scene.
Worst part: the end of the story was missing.
Costume Design/Makeup and Hairstyling: 7* Given the context of poverty. They did well. It can be seen that the film was made with a low budget, in all aspects.
Even so, it had everything to be a better film. 1 hour of film that was incomplete. At least it's only an hour.
Rating: 5/10.
