T’odio, amor meu

About This Movie

T’odio, amor meu is a unique blend of comedy, music, and romance that captures the essence of Portuguese culture in the 90s. The film feels light and whimsical, with an atmosphere that dances between laughter and heartfelt moments. The pacing is a bit uneven, yet it works well, allowing the musical numbers to breathe and the character interactions to feel genuine. The performances are spirited, contributing to a sense of authenticity that often eludes more polished productions. Its practical effects are charmingly low-fi, lending a certain nostalgic appeal that makes it distinctive. It’s not your typical rom-com, and there's a rawness to it that can be refreshing. A curious watch for those interested in international cinema from this era.
