About This Movie

Vovó is an intriguing blend of crime, family dynamics, and horror, set against the backdrop of nostalgia. The film takes us back to a family gathering in 2010, where Magdalena, Walcyr, Maria Alice, and Natanael reflect on their time with Dona Albertina, their grandmother. The atmosphere is thick with tension and regret, as each character grapples with their memories—both affectionate and haunting. It plays with the idea of legacy and how our past shapes us. The performances are raw and engaging, with a pacing that allows discomfort to simmer just beneath the surface. The practical effects, while not over the top, add a haunting quality that lingers. It's definitely a unique entry in this genre mix, making you think long after it ends.
