5.0 out of 5 stars Brazil laid bare, February 9, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Chronically Unfeasible (DVD)
Cronically Unfeasible really puts Brazil under the microscope to expose racism, environmental issues, class issues and basically every social issue that they could cram into this little gem of a movie. Harshly critical of Brazilian society, the movie is offensive on many levels as the director probably intended. It jumps from place to place throughout Brazil in order to give you the most comprehensive picture of the vastness and diversity present in Brazil, both geographic and cultural. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in understanding the Brazilian psyche.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, July 13, 2004

This review is from: Chronically Unfeasible (DVD)
A wonderfully thought-provoking glimpse into the darker side of Brazilian society. I really loved this non-linear narrative that reveals the complexity, passion and desperation of a country forever on the edge. I found myself thinking about it and recommending it to friends long after seeing it. My only complaint is that it sometimes felt a little didactic. Highly recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars dont believe the hype!, February 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chronically Unfeasible (DVD)
I noticed this film on every "great latin film" list and i was sincerely curious, i bought it and tried to watch it but it was very bad. painful to watch, I mean it jumped around senselessly, there are no interesting or notable characters, the film quality was very bad and it took me a month to finish this turkey. i kept asking myself if i missed something, was i not smart enough? I kept expecting it to make sense or to come together but it never did. How this film landed on anyones list of "Good" films is beyond me. I was expecting the quality of "City of men" or "Carindiru" or "Lower City" or "Amores Perros" or "En la Puta Vida" which were all very good films but this is in no way like those great movies. It in fact wasn't even a close second or third. CU is not good, and i mean it...it could only make sense to someone who lives in Brazil and is attracted to bad cinema though i cant imagine how. by the way, that Guy on the cover is not a main character, he is more of a background extra then anything, i didnt get why he was on the box...this movie is Chronically Unbearable....save your money...please!
