## Before you buy

- The listing calls this a two-Blu-ray special edition and describes a new 4K digital master. Blu-ray is the stated media format, so do not assume the package is a 4K UHD disc. The listed package dimensions are unusually uniform, so treat them as listing details rather than a reliable measure of the case.

## A good fit for

- Viewers interested in Brazilian political history and period thrillers.
- Criterion Collection viewers looking for a feature with film-specific supplements.
- Buyers who want English subtitles for a Portuguese-language film.

## Less suited to

- Buyers seeking a 4K UHD disc rather than Blu-ray.
- Viewers looking for a short feature, given the listed runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with a majority in the five-star category, but the total rating sample is small. No written review themes are provided, so these scores do not establish specific praise or criticism about the film, disc presentation or supplements.
