This Brazilian drama is a welcome and assured intervention into that country's calcified ideals about desire and masculinity.

[His characters aren't] reduced to one-dimensional stereotypes. He draws them as equals insofar as their inability to fully embrace who they are away from external forces.

A beautiful and respectful approach to this love story.

Deserto Particular, a.k.a. Private Desert, bewitchingly explores the story of who we all are through Daniel and Sara.

[The] dramatic arc isn't forced at all. [Full review in Spanish]

January 4, 2022 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A potent rejoinder to the hypermasculine, explicitly transphobic values of the Bolsonaro regime.
