Our take
The musical sensation that was Brazilian singer Elis Regina shines through in this swirling biopic, addressing her personal life while hinting at Brazil’s societal liberalization and political turmoil of the 60-70s. Andréia Horta is superb as Regina, bringing her to life with contagious zest.
