      All Style and No Substance
      For all that they show of the city of Lisbon, the filmmakers reveal little about the characters. We hear talk about how difficult city life is for those coming from the country, but we don't actually see it. In the second half of the film, the lead male character has a sudden change of attitude and behavior that seemingly comes out of nowhere and is never explained. And the ending comes from even farther afield and is an insult to the viewer. Yes, the the cinematography is beautiful, but there's nothing there there. Considering the hype, this was a big disappointment.
