Watch All Over Brazil For Free

Just perfect...

I wanted to but couldn't!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

In the 1974 World Cup, Scotland are looking good, having been all over Yugoslavia and Brazil, much to the joy of Stevie's Dad. With the final group game coming up, Da is focused on getting a television that works so he can see the game live, but young Stevie prefers to take the chance of being alone in the house to get dressed up in make up and boots like his glam rock heroes. However, when his Da comes home and catches him it spells trouble – but is it the make up that is the issue?At first I thought this film was going to be a sort of sports movie in reference to the World Cup of 74, then I thought it was going to be a comedy about glam rock before then thinking it was about the distance between the father and son based on the loss of their wife/mother. However after watching it I realized that it was about all three. The script goes nicely from being the first to being the third aspects and it is nicely developed in the way that we learn more and therefore understand more about the characters as we go. I found it quite nice and surprising because in the middle section it was coming as more of a comedy until I fell into sobering understanding of what was really going on here. The distance between the father and son is well delivered and the script trusts us to come to it rather than dropping it in our lap too early.The cast help out well, playing the early sections light but keeping the pain and anger just below their characters' surfaces. The director does well also, with light touches at times followed by more sombre scenes – the sets and costumes are also good, making a convincing 1974. Overall this is an interesting short film that is surprisingly good thanks to the writing which never takes the easy route. Having been amused by it at times I was worried that it wasn't that funny until the end comes and you realize this is about emotions other than happiness. An unassuming piece that is worth seeing.

Short that takes places in the 1970s. A man is bringing up his young son and daughter alone after his wife has died. He's REALLY into sports and tries to make sure his young son is too. But his son is more into glam rock and clothes than sports. Then his dad finds out one day...Short (10 min) and too the point--a nice little film about a father struggling to accept his son's differences. I saw it as part of a Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Why it was playing there I don't know--it's really not about being gay at all. Good luck with the dialogue though--it's in a broad Scottish accent--I couldn't understand a word at the beginning! Maybe subtitles would help.
