"...It's refreshing to watch a film about Rio de Janeiro that doesn't focus on the violence characteristic of the city and, instead, shows a Rio surrounded by music...
The strength of the film is in those scenes, where the foreigners talk about their impressions about the country and their friends give back impressions about the foreigners..."
