The effort is commendable and the complicated emotions of the piece (for a place and a people) come through loud and clear. To paraphrase the great Ms. Russell, the movie has the power to make you laugh and the power to break your heart in half. Read full review

The essayistic remembrances provide the filmmakers with a brilliant exit strategy when the noir business has nowhere to go but in circles. Read full review

As a ruminative travelogue-cum-dissertation, Rodrigues and Guerra Da Mata’s film is often haunting, and its portentous and mournful atmospherics ultimately help compensate for the nagging impression that it’s a work almost too personal for an outside viewer to fully penetrate. Read full review

A sly, amusing if underconceptulized and needlessly elliptical inquiry into truth, memory and appearances. Read full review

A beautiful film every shot like a photograph and put it all together and I feel I have been to Macao. I enjoyed the plot, a mystery, and that too so ingeniously shot it carries the viewer along with longing.
