Reception

It was first screened at the 2011 Festival do Rio on October 11, 2011, and was the most watched film over Pedro Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In.[7] In Rio, Camila Pitanga won the Best Actress Award,[1] and it was awarded the Best Film at the 37th Festival de Cine Iberoamericano de Huelva.[8] Boyd van Hoeij from Variety said it is "more noteworthy for its atmosphere ... than the flashback-laden narrative, which, between vigorous sexual workouts, manages to be overly symbolical and soapy."[9] Screendaily.com's Mark Adams declared "The film – while beautifully shot and appropriately steamy – then takes a dive into melodrama territory". Adams lauded how Brant and Ciasca "make the most of their striking lead actress and bring just the right amount of steamy sexual tension to what is in essence an old-fashioned melodrama."[3]
