It's well written and very well constructed. This story is MUCH different from the tons of movies that come out of Rio or Sao Paulo. It's a must see for Brazilian film lovers.             Midnight6 reviews Fernanda Torres, Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos Fox Lorber, 2000 A brilliant masterpiece worth adding to your DVD collection For those who have seen "Central Station", which won many awards throughout the world (including the USA), was nominated for the Oscar 2000 (best actress and best foreign film), and was directed by the same Walter Salles Jr - this other film, "Midnight", has little in common with "Central Station" - other than being very well made in terms of script, acting and photography. What is amazing is ...             Central Station [Region 2]110 reviews Fernanda Montenegro, Vinícius de Oliveira Finding lost souls...

Some criticism dates back to the publication of Fernando Gabeira's book, mainly the fact that Gabeira's importance in the kidnapping is overplayed. Other survivors from the operation claim he did not write the note to the press, as the movie shows. Also, a girl did try to get information from the Ambassador's ...             Cidade de Deus [Region 2]304 reviews Alexandre Rodrigues, Leandro Firmino See it now! Don't wait.

I was a little concerned, but once again, I'm on a spree to see every single movie that Mos Def was in, so I hoped that he knew what he was doing when he picked this role. I shook my head when he started speaking in a Nigerian accent. That cat loves to speak in any accent but his own Brooklyn drawl, and even better, he does it so well. I wonder how people ...             Four Days in September16 reviews Alan Arkin, Fernanda Torres Miramax, 2003 A great movie in spite of some minor inaccuracies This movie faced a lot of criticism in Brazil for the liberties it took with history.
