Do Começo ao Fim (2009)
Disappointing
When this movie ended very abruptly, my and my husband's first thought was "this could have been a great movie, but the writers blew it." First of all, the characters needed to be developed much more than they were. We barely got to know them and their level of affection as adults toward one another seemed oddly inadequate, considering how devoted they apparently were to each other all their lives. Time for this could easily be taken away from the excessive time spent developing a sub plot of the older brother's clubbing adventures.
Amazingly, the screenplay virtually ignores any acknowledgment between the brothers that their relationship is outside the norm. I have absolutely nothing against gay relationships and can even deal with a relationship between brothers. However, I find it hard to imagine that this topic would not be discussed by the brothers. It was the pink elephant in the room for much of the movie and left me wanting so much more when the movie came to an end.
I hope there will someday be an English version that corrects these flaws.
