The main criticism I heard as the audience filtered out, and indeed from my film companion, was that the film was too slow. This wasn’t to the taste of all, as we had a few walkouts-hilariously, about 90 percent in, just before the film took a gay turn. The tension in the audience was palpable as the film continued, and at the climatic moment it felt like a tightly wound spring had uncoiled. Life is presented as a wasteland of mundane, melancholy nothingness with the rare moment of warmth and connection. Between these few moments, the characters muddle through friendships, they drink, they wander around town. The feature hands out little tidbits, glimpses of the character’s lives and motivations, jealously. To say Seashore is a slow burn of a film is an understatement. Tomaz (played by the frighteningly pretty Maurício Barcellos) admits he shouldn’t even be there with his friend, but as the pieces slowly and quietly fall into place, all becomes clear. Martin (the brooding Mateus Almada) must confront his relationship with his family’s past. There’s a tension between the two as they undertake this journey, and it’s unclear why they are on it. They return to the hometown of Martin’s estranged grandfather and then, for the first three-quarters of the movie, very little happens. Seashore is a Brazilian film about Martin and Tomaz, two young men nearing adulthood. Life, after all, is just a lot of staring blankly and feeling shitty about stuff. I should preface this review by saying that I love a good boring movie, by which I mean my choice of film sits at the latter end of the spectrum mentioned above, a film that can make a lot happen with very little action. In the best way possible, Seashore is this film.

Then think of a film that is the exact opposite of that, one that is so subtle, where so little happens it’s difficult to say what you just saw.
SEASHORE MOVIE MOVIE
Think about a movie that is non-stop action: explosions, guns blazing, with a trademark wisecracking, beefcake, invariably white hetero leading man-I guess what I’m saying is, think of Age of Ultron.
