We Don't Like Samba is a curious slice of the documentary genre that dives into the complexities of Brazilian culture, particularly focusing on the samba music scene. The film adopts a gritty, almost raw atmosphere, capturing the contradictions and struggles faced by musicians who grapple with the commercialization of their art. It's paced in a way that reflects the rhythm of samba itself—sometimes frenetic, sometimes slow, leaving you in a contemplative state. The performances highlight genuine passion, showcasing real people not just as artists but as individuals with rich stories. What stands out is its refusal to romanticize; instead, it presents an unvarnished view of both the celebration and the discontent within this vibrant art form.
