Barbosa skillfully skewers the presumptions of rich folks who presume they deserve all that they've gotten, even as they're squandering it.
Mr. Barbosa blends tales of a coming-of-age and a burgeoning class consciousness, and never loses sympathy for Jean (Thales Cavalcanti).

A confident and quietly promising feature debut from director/co-writer Fellipe Barbosa.
The pic is full of nicely observed vignettes that act as signifiers of caste, though at times the script turns overly didactic.
The film uses its critique of white privilege as a means to woo the legitimizing gaze of international audiences.
