Our suggestions
Future Brazilian film of 2024, based on the 1955 play Auto da Compadecida by Ariano Suassuna. It is a continuation of O Auto da Compadecida from 2000.
"A Dog’s Will 2 (O Auto da Compadecida 2) is another sequel that no one asked for, but it still attracts attention. After all, how would directors Guel Arraes and Flávia Lacerda create a new story without inspiration from Ariano Suassuna's texts? The feature film talks about the return of João Grilo after his death in the first film, being seen as a saint -- and as a voter in an election full of particularities. A lot of things don't work, especially when the fear of following the story in another direction hits, but the new characters help to pull the film up, especially Luis Miranda, Eduardo Sterblitch and Humberto Martins."
