Mais Um Dia Feliz

This film could have been a very good and dense drama set in an American wedding, but it works more as a background while family problems, old wrongs and scars come to the fore, but in the end it is a mediocre film that didn't exactly meet with a great response, which on the one hand is not surprising. So why the nice and solid three stars?! First of all for the performance of Ezra Miller, fwho was very fitting in the role of the naked young man standing on the edge of the abyss, and also for Ellen Burstyn and George Kennedy, who despite their age can act much better than the other younger actors in the ensemble. Ellen Barkin came across as too affected, as did Demi Moore, which unites them, alongside their "Bakelite" visage. And I mustn't forget Ólafur Arnalds' wonderful score, whose melancholic sound highlighted the drama of many scenes. In short, a film in which there is too great a concentration of psychologically disturbed characters that ends up harming it in places. (18/01/2013)
