Kleber Mendonça Filho uses a middle-class household to explore the socio-political changes in Brazil. By focusing on the arrival of a large television, the film turns a domestic setting into a critique of consumerism and technology. The film's strength lies in its thematic depth, using objects as metaphors for social change. It questions the notion that technological progress is always positive, highlighting the absurdity of excess. While the film shows promise through its social commentary and diverse casting, it lacks specific evidence regarding LGBTQ+ or disability representation. The focus remains primarily on class and consumption.
