Favelas

This is a fast-moving and likable children’s adventure with a fiercely grownup angle, mainly because the kids involved have had to grow up quickly.

...beautifully shot and bursting with energy, much of which emanates from the dynamite performances of Rickson Tevez, Gabriel Weinstein and Eduardo Luis...

...en film om håb og livsglæde under ringe kår.

...som helhed giver filmen et troværdigt indblik i et råddent samfund med perverst store klasseskel og modbydelig politibrutalitet.

Sensitively scripted by Richard Curtis, this has its feet in the gutter and its head in the clouds.
