As the tragedies mount, Moura's film becomes an elegy - not so much to Marighella as to an idealism consumed by the pyrrhic games of dirty regimes.

"Marighella" isn't interested in weighing ethics, preferring a testosterone-charged portrait of armed insurrection as a glorious pathway to martyrdom.

Once you accept its binary us-and-them worldview, Marighella works fine as an exciting and highly assured debut, with a terrific ensemble cast at its heart.

Though the film would have benefitted from exploring further into the earlier origins of Carlos Marighella, a mesmerising performance from Seu Jorge makes this a worthy introduction to the Afro-Brazilian revolutionary.

4/5

The film is not afraid to question aspects of its protagonists personality, nor does it seek to soften him up - which would be a betrayal of his memory. [Full review in Portuguese]

A throwback to the great political films of the 1960s, from Pontecorvo's "The Battle of Algiers" to Costa-Gavras's "State of Siege".

Tratativa e narrativas falsas de uma historia de um herÃ³i que na verdade foi um terrorista

An assassin, terrorist and cruel man who lived here, in Brazil, just to kill and create fear among us. He should never be portrayed as a "hero" how it was in this movie. The families who were destroyed by this monster didn't deserve something like this.
