4.0 out of 5 starsVery thoughtful and professionally made movie
By Shishov Georgiy on April 21, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
From the very first minutes of this movie you clearly understand how professionally it was made. Perfect photography and director's work! I tend to think that this is due to the producer Bruno Barreto.

There's a simple story with a few turns. You'll find a lot of Brazilian country landscapes here and meet local culture.

After viewing this film I felt a little sad because such a large and beautiful country with such good people and rich culture is so poor. This movie won't thrill you, but it will make you think and feel instead.

5.0 out of 5 starsTouching story, beautiful landscapes
By Jean-Sbastien Bdard on May 24, 2005
Format: DVD
If you are curious about Brasil as i am, you must listen to this movie. Road trip on bicycle from Paraiba state on nordeste Brasil until Rio de Janeiro. A family looking for a better life. Great views of the Brasil countryside, and costal areas. A simple but beautiful movie, no action but the same Brasil quality.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot much to grab hold of....except the scenery.
By Amazon Customer VINE VOICE on January 12, 2011
Format: DVD
There isn't much to say about this Brazalian member family, who courageously take a 2,000 mile bicycle trek to Rio de Janeiro in hopes of finding work, food, and comfort throughout. Seeking work is the most important aspect of the journey, and the young father insists upon a certain amount of money to support his family during the bicycle journey, which means he won't work for less and will not work for something that puts him in a less-than-manly view.

The family begs for food, takes odd jobs, and Rose (Mom) and children sing for their supper, while Romao (Dad) observes his family making it through the journey.

Their eldest boy, Antonio, a young teen is peaking at puberty, interested in girls, learning to smoke, and comes to seek independence from the family. We see a few incidences he encounters, but nothing memorable to keep the film interesting.

What is beautiful is the landscape they journey upon. But, unfortunately, the journey is neither interesting, the folks along the way are not memorable, and the family characters fall flat, not someone we build the relationship with, nor do we really care deeply for. Not sure how this garnered some awards, nor how it was selected for good filming with Foreign Film Movement. ....Rizzo

2.0 out of 5 starsStill waiting....
By Patrick Mireur on January 31, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
From the reviews and the storyline on the DVD cover, I was very excited to see this film. Unfortunately, this story was drawn out and had no real direction. The characters were boring, and nothing terribly eventful happened along the way. It was as if a camera filmed a stubborn father's trip on a bike and documented nothing of interest.

To cheer yourself back up, watch a good film like 'The Man Who Copied' - also Brazilian and way more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 starsNo Carnaval, No Beaches, No Glamour of Rio de Janeiro...
By I. Magalhaes on May 22, 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Bus, car, train, plane is normal in traveling long distances, but imagine a entire family riding bicycles from Northeast of Brazil to get to Rio de Janeiro city(Southeast), it's about 3.500km!!!The only reason for this crazy and unique experience is the hope of finding a job of 1.000,00 reais (equivalente to $500 dollars). They'll face hunger,violence and scorching days...Thrilling and valuable movie...

4.0 out of 5 starsthe middle of the world
By Valentina Grant on February 13, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
from what I understand this wonderful little movie is based on a true story told by a family who makes us realize how important love in the family unit is, even with the normal odd disagreements which is only human. It gives you strength to endure, courage and hope. Loved Roberto Carlos music.

4.0 out of 5 starsarid norttheast landscapes thro a bittersweet lens
By A. Saha on January 4, 2006
Format: DVD
Apart from being a good road film (landscapes, transience etc), the lead actors have nicely portrayed the machismo that rules most latin american and asian societies. good soundtrack, imagery, and having been in brasil recently, i was taken back there, to the endless horizons, red roads and dusty bus stations.

i'd buy it if i could afford the steep price.
