seamouseJanuary 24, 2024Rio’s Flavo should also reject drugs. It is also because of the mother's drug addict nature, make the torn relationship and noisy sex scenes between mother daughter in the film are rationalized. But as a theater audience, I still can't accept this potentially real sound and relationship.

Lee RosalJune 28, 2025Bom, estive na minha semana de maratona de Carol Duarte. Penso que Malu contem muito da intimidade que só as mulheres sabem, relações de mães e filhas, difícil, mas é a vida escancarada e linda apesar de tudo. Me identifiquei com inúmeras situações aqui, tanto que fiquei em estado de choque em alguns momentos, principalmente quando penso na pauta da saúde mental. Cinema vivíssimo.
