Estrela Brava

About This Movie

So, "Estrela Brava" is an intriguing blend of drama and bizarre sci-fi elements. The premise revolves around this boy waiting for his boyfriend on Praia Brava, but then you've got this alien creature adding a layer of horror with its grotesque murders. It's a jarring contrast between the serene beach setting and the chaos unleashed by the alien. The pacing feels a bit off at times, almost dreamlike, which might not sit well with everyone. But that’s part of its charm. The practical effects are gritty and raw, which adds to the unsettling atmosphere. Performances are immersive, portraying a raw sense of longing amidst the bizarre happenings. It really sets itself apart with this odd mix of tender moments and shock.
