I almost feel offended reading some of the reviews on here.
Absolutely ridiculous how some people hate just to hate.
The movie was very well made. We follow Edward (Carloto Cotta) from New York who is in search of his biological family - we don't get much info here but he seems to have grown up in the foster system - and with the help from his girlfriend Riley (Brigette Lundy-Paine) they follow a match made from an ancestor app and travel to Portugal to meed Edward's biological mother Amelia (Present tense played by Anabela Moreira - past tense played by Alba Baptista) and brother Manuel (Carloto Cotta).
Carloto managed quite well in tricking me into believing the twins were played by actual brothers! I did have to pause the movie to do a quick google search and unfortunately for me there was somewhat of a spoiler in that answer. His acting was very much on point and I genuinely enjoyed his performance overall! There is a review on here about bad wigs and I just don't agree with that at all.
Brigette did an incredible job with making their character very real and believable. They have this ability to perfectly portray the feeling you get when *you're uncomfortable but you don't want to be rude* in a way that can't be described with words! Without a doubt the most sensible and authentic character in this movie.
Anabela did a very good job! From the wide stretched out smiles to the silent stare, she made me very uncomfortable and intrigued - also those prosthetics were incredibly creepy and well made, I genuinely thought that it was Alba under all of that make-up at first.
To no ones surprise, Alba Baptista is incredibly beautiful. I will give her extra points for being a scene-stealer despite not having many scenes in this movie. Wonderful performance!
Overall I genuinely enjoyed this movie. It was well made, the acting was top tier and the actual story leaves you with a very uneasy feeling.
