Critic Reviews

Dave Kehr

A generally effective sex comedy, distinguished by its origins (Brazil) and the considerable appeal of its star, Sonia Braga. (Review of original release) Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

This entertaining and erotic picture, while perhaps not the most challenging film to come out of Brazil in the 1970s, is nevertheless enjoyable. (Review of original release) Read full review

Elliott Stein

In its best moments, it has the qualities of a ribald folk tale. But it's a slight work, slackly directed, that gets a needed boost from Braga's endearing performance and Chico Buarque's intoxicating score. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Has a certain raw charm but does not quite achieve the needed cohesion and directorial finesse it calls for. (Review of original release) Read full review
