Our take
Recalling Olivier Assayas’ Summer Hours in both artistic sensibility and core dynamics, Domingo is a sharp, atmospheric portrait of a modern-day family. Starring an ensemble cast of Brazilian veterans, this drama captures the subtle bond that intertwines public happenings with private life.
