Overview
- Brazilian cinemas began screenings on September 25 with wide regional rollouts reported in cities including João Pessoa, São Luís and Boa Vista.
- Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Leonardo DiCaprio with Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, the film is a timely satire of authoritarianism and polarization, loosely adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland.
- Critical reception is enthusiastic, with O Globo hailing it as a masterpiece, G1 praising performances and craft, and Reuters reporting a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Industry coverage cites an estimated US$130–175 million budget and suggests the film would need over US$300 million to break even, while monitoring agencies project a global opening weekend above US$40 million.
- DiCaprio describes the work as a satire of both sides focused on humanity, even as some reviewers question idealized portrayals of minority characters.
