Perdido na Selva

This entrancing documentary weaves together multiple narrative layers to tell a story as complex and veiled as the Amazon jungle itself.

...it’s layered and expansive, using a survival format to tell a story about endurance, trauma, fractured communities, spiritual hauntings, and the yearning to break free from captivity in all its forms.

...the subject matter is compelling enough, and the filmmaking sturdy enough, that it’s an engrossing watch despite its minor flaws.
