Brazilian movie makers are sort of an exception when it comes to
the indie production outside America. Their trademark slow tempo and overall
sense of sleepiness might reject some of the audience and „Aquarius” manages to
do so with its elongated and not firm enough script about the fight of a single
woman against the greedy developers that want to replace her building with a
condominium and destroy her memories by doing so.
There will be some decent social and emotional moments along
those 2 hours and 40 minutes, but just not enough of them, which is a shame,
because Sonia Braga really dominates the screen with her interpretation of
Clara.
„Aquarius” could have been a lot better if it was compressed and
cleansed from the trademark Latin movie flaws.
