However, visually not all scenes of this film satisfy the eyes. There are several scenes that change focus quickly and the choice of zoom in the face that feels typical of soap operas makes it uncomfortable.
The embedding of scenes related to markers of the late 80s to the 90s could be a double-edged sword. The details of the film will feel strong for those who understand history. However, for young viewers who are not enough literacy, this film can feel long and boring.
