★★★★ From The Motorcycle Diaries to On the Road, Walter Salles is a great celebrator of liberation, both personal and political. The two come together in stirring and poignant ways here. You can feel the shadow of a contemporary Brazilian leader, Jair Bolsonaro, hanging over it. ~ Time Out.

★★★ Salles’s imperfect, hobbled film tells us that hope springs eternal and that joy is a given and that most happy families will find a way to survive. ~ The Guardian.
