Aquarius is an emotional and dramatic saga, featuring Clara in her fight for her apartment. In a world of expansive corporate engineering practices, Clara fights and hard for what she had and inherited.

Emotionally, Aquarius runs as a mix of drama and thriller. The film it leaves the viewer on edge at times, witnessing the covert tension Clara herself experienced and the engineers placed on her. The film's ending is unique and ending, so expect to ponder how the heck a resolution would be reached ultimately.

Besides plot twists, Aquarius also portrays the intimate experiences of Clara, her love for Brazilian and international music. It features a nice selection of songs and rhythms.

Finally, Aquarius also gives voice aspects of Brazilian society, such as the class division, and the shared experience of light in a coastal city, almost in passage, but beautifully.

In sum, It is an emotional, long, and intimate journey into the heart and experiences of an iconic and unforgettable woman. It may feel long at times and slow, but it is sure to pick up later on. It is a hard film to watch, but one superbly acted and edited.

An interesting film and I was particularly of finding the woman a 65 year old widow with the problem of her flat the company want her out to have plans of the plot. Set in Recife, Brazil by the sea and with her many family and friends of largely feel she should give up and take the money as she is the last flat in the block.

A woman on the eve of her existence ... rattled to her core. Being the sole owner of a house that a large company wants to buy and own (for whatever purposes that may be, I think it's safe to assume, they don't have good intentions, yes?). As a general rule most viewers will be with her. But is she still of sound mind? What do her children think about this? And why is she so stubborn? Then again, it's not like she has anything else to do.

I generally hope this is not how all Brazilian urban everyday life is like - like another user suggested. But I can't say one way or the other. What I can say is, that you will be able to identify with her. Maybe not always agree with her, but understand. And seeing life go by, slowly , there is a certain dreadfulness to it. Why it feels the need to be rather explicit with flashbacks and sexual situations I'm not entirely sure. But it shows what was and what she lacks or rather might be missing. Something for sure she isn't getting or having now ... another character puzzle piece, but maybe also another look into motivation. A complex movie that some may dispute or find rather boring and annoying. It's why we have different tastes. Still makes this a very engaging and certainly impactful movie (especially the ending, which is harrowing to say the least) ...
