Reception

The critic of Folha de São Paulo wrote: "The reconstitution of the time is stylized, unnatural, and the tone of the staging is ridiculous." and continues "the whole cast is brilliant, and the highlight is Dina Sfat (...) Seen today, when we get used to a low and fearful cinema, O Homem do Pau-Brasil seems like an absurd object."[2]
