Aquarius, 2016 - ★★★

As much as I liked Clara and was intrigued to find out what would happen I found the pacing and excessive running time hard work. A great ending made it worthwhile. Despite complaining about the length I did keep thinking how I may have preferred to see more of this family in a TV series.

The introduction and Q&A with the director made several references to the Brazilian politics and Cannes protest of which I knew nothing so perhaps a lot of the film was wasted on me. The rest of the audience certainly seemed to appreciate it more.
