A very dry and formulaic re-telling of a cautionary tale we know all too well by now.

Director Barreto has a fine eye for composition and a knowing heart for human emotion, keeping things simple and sparse.

This is an unusually sensual and nonpuritanical American movie perhaps because it was made by a Brazilian director.
