Diamantino

It's too cannily plotted and self-aware to achieve the sort of gonzo energy one associates with genuine cult items.

Sweet, wild, and openhearted, Diamantino is as charming as its muddle-headed protagonist.

"Diamantino" is one of those movies that looks super fun to make but is mind-numbing to actually watch.

"Diamantino" is no less committed to these ideas than it is to its own uneven, unforgettable lunacy.

The sports-celebrity-industrial complex is merely one target of this robust, rollicking satire.

The whole enterprise has a charm to it and it certainly is never boring. Bewildering, maybe, but never boring.

Diamantino is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen, and it’s all the better because of it.

Diamantino has some flawed narrative structures, yet it still thrives thanks to its vibrant genre verve.

This dazzlingly original feature from longtime collaborators Daniel Schmidt and Gabriel Abrantes skewers its subjects with loving cinematic gusto.

What Diamantino lacks in cohesiveness it mostly makes up for with ambition.
