Warmly lit but thin and poky Brazilian comedy (based on fact) of a rustic ménage-à-quatre composed of an earth mother, her indolent new husband, and her two recruited lovers. (Not counting her children by each.) Commanding performance from Regina Casé, a sort of browner, plumper Frances McDormand. Sonia Braga she's not. Directed by Andrucha Waddington. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
