As Verdades

Murder mystery and police investigation in Bahia countryside. Despite some dots not very well connected and in spite of an unsatisfactory ending, it is a nice film starred by great Lázaro Ramos. The best of the film is the way it portrayed contrasting versions told to detective Josué. The four testimonies no only added information and refuted the previous ones, but also seemed contradictory and unconvincing. All that gave a thrilling and noir atmosphere, which was enhanced by excellent performance by beautiful Bianca Bin. She succeded in portraying very different versions of Francisca, according to what was narrated by each witness, victim or suspect: she alternated from hick to seducer, from naive to manipultive, from frigthened to enamored.
