Ableism in São Paulo is a raw look at disability, weaving personal narratives with the chaos of one of the world's largest cities. Matheus Orlandi really captures the everyday lives of people facing ableism head-on, even in a vibrant backdrop like São Paulo. The pacing feels organic, almost like you’re just hanging out with the subjects, and it’s not heavy-handed with its themes, which makes the impact feel more genuine. The film’s atmosphere shifts between hopeful and stark, showing both the struggles and small victories of its characters. I found the performances so authentic; you see their resilience, but also the everyday frustrations they encounter. It’s distinctive in how it balances personal stories with broader social commentary without feeling preachy.
