Movies You've Never Heard Of - Reviewed!

Wow!! I watched a movie last night called FROM BEGINNING TO END and it totally blew me away! It's a Brazilian movie about two half-brothers who grow up so close that they become completely interdependent and eventually fall in love. It sounds like such a taboo, as though it's a story told merely for shock value, but I found it to be the complete opposite.



At once risky and romantic, intimate and erotic, sexy and sincere, this is a tale of true love that is both heart-breaking and heart-soaring. The acting was fantastic, and although it's not the perfect film in terms of structure, it's still a poetic piece of art with an unconventional romance at the heart of it. I loved this movie so much that as soon as it ended I immediately wanted to watch it again.



FROM BEGINNING TO END gets a very enthusiastic 9 out of 10 from me. Prepare to leave your sense of traditional social mores at the door and immerse yourself in this one!

  1. Filme maravilhoso, sou Brasileiro e ao contrário de você, nunca pensei que seria um filme para deixar os espectadores de boca aberta, o Brasil tem a fama de ser o pais da nudez, mas somos o oposto disto, somos muito carinhosos.
    Mas a sua indicação é excelente, esse filme é mt bom.

  2. Thanks Marcelo! I translated your message... for anyone who doesn't speak Portuguese (like me) here it is. Thanks for leaving a lovely message, and yes, I utterly adored this movie (although I've lent it to me ex-boyfriend and he loves it so much I don't think I'm going to get it back!!) x

    From Marcelo:
    Wonderful movie, I'm Brazilian and unlike you, I never thought it would be a movie to leave audiences open-mouthed, Brazil has the reputation of being the parents of nudity, but are the opposite of this, we are very affectionate.
    But their statement is great, this movie is good mt.
    Hug
