Casey59 I really enjoyed this movie. I watched it yesterday and again today. I thought it was well written, directed, and acted. Also thought the cinematography was excellent. I thought for first time, writers, directors (Filipe Matzembacher, Marcio Reolon), and actor ("Tomaz" Maurício Barcellosm) it was very good. Shot in chronological order in 30 days on a low budget indie movie. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this movie. I didn't find it long or boring, or a waste of time. I'll admit that this movie did leave some unanswered questions in my mind, but I think that was what the writer/director wanted. To leave it up to me as how to interpret the charters and plot.The ending is a little unsettling for me. The first time I watched the movie I thought Martin was trying to commit suicide. But after watching it a second time, I think he was just freeing himself from his father and his past, or at least that is what I think. Both of the main leads were very handsome and believable. I my opinion there was real chemistry between them. I'm adding this movie to my all time favorite list.I would highly recommend it.

B.g. Thomas So do you suppose there is a way for me to sue Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, the directors of this staggeringly boring movie, for my time back? This film was rambling, boring, pointless. I wondered if this even had a script and they just let the actors improvise. Nothing was solved. Nothing resolved. I finally kept fast-forwarding through it hoping that something would happen. The actors were cute and seemed to be able to act. But I certainly won't be looking out for anything by these directors again. What a waste of my time. What is it with gay movies that the creators seem to think they have to get artsy-fatsy? Straight love films have a beginning, middle and end. Why can't a gay movie?

ksf-2 Spoilers Beira-Mar aka "Seashore" starts out with two young-ish Brazilian guys trying to come up with a plan for their vacation. They dare each other to go into a bar, but one of the ID's they show doesn't seem to be good enough, showing us just how young they are. In one scene, they are next to each other, and we see their arms moving quickly.... but it turns out they are playing video games... although we are supposed to think something else is going on. Lots of soulful staring. Hanging out. The two main actors, Mateus Almada and Mauricio Barcellos, are two dudes on a road-trip. They are on some kind of mission for somebody's father, but we're not quite sure what they have to do. I'm guessing that because it's written by people that had these actual experiences way back when... things happen in a slower, more discrete way than they would be now; i think today's youth, even in Brazil, would cut to the chase quicker than they do in this film. More soulful stares. Hanging out with chicks and nothing happens. More long pauses. One of the lads re-connects with his family, but we're still not sure what's going on. The two guys FINALLY hook up, to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Very romantic. The one that didn't like the ocean before gets up and jumps into the waves, apparently to prove that he is now conquering his fears. All of them! End scene. Cute film. Directed by Marcio Reolon and Filipe Matzembacher, who have done a bunch of films together over the past ten years.

rulien-805-186555 I'm Brazilian and I'm more qualified to judge their performance based on the fact that I know the language and local customs. With that said, it lacks interaction between the characters, there's too much slow and uninteresting monologues, plus only one of them babbles a few words during the very few dialogs that they properly have. Even worse is that, usually, only one of them is framed on the scene while we can only hear the other babbling (really, if there were no subs in English I would not be able to hear, let alone understand some of the lines). I also should mention, their speech is missing a lot of acting in it. Finally, when something interesting happens (basically the whole reason for watch the movie), it does not last five minutes and then suddenly the movie ends.
