Alvorada

"The impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff has already spawned some movies. Two of them, 'O Processo' and 'Democracia em Vertigem', are truly above average in quality, with impressive production and care in addressing the subject. Then, the mediocre 'Excelentíssimos' also arrived in theaters, trying to be more of a historical document of that period of political tension. Now, 'Alvorada' fits in between these two qualities of production. After all, directors Anna Muylaert and Lô Politi hit the mark by showing the routine at the Palácio do Alvorado - the president's house in Brasília - and going beyond the political chaos. There are really rich scenes that show Dilma in her intimacy. But the highlight is in the scenes of the employees trying to carry on with life despite the hurricane outside. It's a shame that there are clear technical problems, such as sound capture failures, and an incoherent script that wanders between Dilma and the routine of the Palace. It could have been clearer in its proposal. But, still, in the end, it brings good contributions to politics in Brazil."
