why critics hated this film after it won the palme d'or.
I just noticed that critics love this film after it premiered in cannes but soon hated the film after it won the palme d'or.
Were they the same critics? Perhaps the first reviews were from the quality press, The Times, The Guardian etc. Papers like The Mail are unlikely to comment on a film like this normally, but when it won the Palme d'or they were kind of forced to notice it, and it is just the kind of thing they would hate from a political standpoint. A film about a single mother and a scrounging benefit claimant who thinks a major heart attack is a reason to stop working? Bloody lefties!

You should use your sarcasm font more often

The Guardian, quality press? Ha ha ha. share
Be interested to hear which newspapers you would include in the "quality press" category. Maybe then the rest of us can have a little giggle too.
shareBrazilians know The Guardian IS NOT quality press. They blindly deffend the Venezuelan dictatorship, and supported the now-deposed faacist-dressed-as-left governments of Brazil and Argentina, who destroyed those countries' econonomies AND wellfare state to create Putin-style oligarchs. Glenn Greenwald is the worst offender, a sworn enemy of Brazil, abusing our democracy to attack it.
shareSay it for yourself, all Brazilians know that our local press is in the pockets of politicians and even the worker's party in Brazil is hardly an extreme left wing and more of a center-left so, this "fear of the commies" talk is a croc of s*** spread by fear mongers in social media. The opposition did everything in their power to destroy what the worker's party built (and don't lie to yourself or others, the country did great in their earlier years) for fear that their asses would be burned as soon as the Federal Police started chasing and arresting corrupt politicians. Which was an operation started by the now deposed president, coincidence? Of course not. Now the country is in even worst shape than it was before, and I wouldn't be surprised if the investigations start to be shot down.
