My take
I was surprised a movie so similar (Brazil in the 70s about opposition people from the dictator government) to last year's "I'm Still Here". Therefore, I thought, oh wow this one is going to be exceptional. But it wasn't. It was fine. Very fun group of actors, in almost a sitcom kind of way, therefore I wanted more of each of them than I got. And then the ending, what the heck, they made the climax (him dying) happen off screen? I don't know, I was disappointed.
