    For moments, it might look like the Hallmark's "based on a true strory" full of melodramatic moments that, added to the fact that they are more interested on the wardrobe of the characters than the thruthfulness of the events, make unreal the story. It seemed more like a soap ope...( read more)ra but a good one with emotional moments and romantic dialogues. Visually is original and the close-ups are great.
    Es difícil hacer una película biográfica sin caer en lo documental aburrido ni en lo irreal melodramático. Olga se va más por lo segundo y me pareció una verdadera telenovela con muchos diálogos llenos de melcocha y los malvados que están a punto de soltar su risa maléfica. Aún así, esta visión telenovelera la hace más sacalágrimas y entretenida. Visualmente es quizá como mejor se levanta de entre las biopics del montón haciendo un uso exagerado de los close ups de la bellísima protagonista Camila Morgado.

    Um dos melhores filmes brasileiros que vi. Camila Morgado foi ótima.

    Produção de primeira, atuação de primeira da belíssima Camila Morgado e, embora não se encontre no mesmo patamar de outras produções com a mesma temática, foi um gol de placa que o cinema brasileiro fez.
