Praia do Futuro (2014)
A little hard to follow
The acting was done well overall. The premise of the movie starts out great... but then it starts to jump.
I'm not sure if there was an editing issue. Maybe there was more story that was left out due to time constraints. About 3/4 of the way through the movie I found myself thinking "Did I miss something?". Going back and reviewing some things, I found I did not. Timelines and locations are very muddled, or completely nonexistent. Prepare to jump decades, continents, and relationship without a moments notice.
Having said that, I liked the movie. It wasn't a bad watch on a lazy Thursday afternoon.
En la gama de los grises (2015)
Solid Film
The stills are a little misleading, so it may not end the way you think it will.
I have to say that I really enjoyed this one. The acting was really well done, and I'm always surprised just how much better South American lgbtq films are than American.
You will absolutely fall in love with the Fer character, played by Emilio Edwards. I think that's the whole point, but who wouldn't really?!? He's adorable!
It covers a common theme of gay/closeted movies, but it is done tastefully, and doesn't beat you over the head with it.
The locations is gorgeous.
I would definitely check this one out...
