Kleber Mendonça Filho brings to us a very deep and powerful dive in the brazilian society, when he represents the power of a white upper-class old woman, embodied gracefully by Sônia Braga, and her relations with her sons, housekeeper and the people that surround her.
While watching to the movie, I felt that the plot was very simple, without any turnarounds and big surprises. Even though it is divided in three acts, the movie follows a very regular and linear narrative which contributes to the understanding of the personality of Clara.
The first part of the movie, portrayed in the 80s, helps to the build the character, but seems disconnected to the rest of the film itself. For example, the first scene brings some characters and details that aren't even mentioned later.
In conclusion, I believe that Aquarius is a great movie, with a powerful ending, that can be watched and appreciated just paying attention to the main plot. Kleber Mendonça and Sônia Braga are terrific!
