good story reasonably casted actors

Screenplay is too boring, even Pablo Escobar cant save it but the real life story is very dramatic and inspirational. could have been better

Unnecessary dramatization of his love affair

Completely unnecessary dramatization of his love affair more than half of the movie. If I wanted to watch a romantic film, I'd watch a romantic film, not a film I've fixed my mind to learn about an important man.

Good biography

Some right wing brazilians are giving low rate to this movie only because Wagner Moura is the actor who plays Sergio and the producer. Besides a great actor and a human being he is active politically and fight against the bad decisions of our actual brazilian government, a terrible one. The movie, overall, is enjoyable, very well acted, delicate and a good introduction in the story of Sergio Vieira de Mello, another great human being. The soundtrack with Cartola and Caetano Velloso is a plus.

This movie does not give this important man justice.

I totally agree with the previous, short but to the point review, "Important man, poor film". I also thought that the sex scene, although beautiful in itself was not appropriate or necessary, in fact it felt to me more an intrusion of privacy. Sergio should've been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, even now, posthumously I think it would be very fitting for this great man of peace, independence and human rights.

Disagree with most negative reviews here

I'm glad I didn't check the reviews before watching the film because it was such a beautiful story of something that's much more multilayered than just a linear storyline: the balance between Sergio's ambition, internal issues, love + complex nature of international relations. It's not an action film, it's a story of a purpose-driven man on the journey of becoming his true self. The pace is slower which I didn't find boring, quite the opposite in fact, gave enough room to build a more nuanced world and characters. Just watch it.

Anecdotes
Due to practical reasons, filmmakers weren't able to shoot in East Timor. The solution they found was to bring around 24 East Timoreses along with their clothing and fabrics to film in Thailand; completing with extras from Timor who were already in the country, thus bringing the total close to 50. Senhorinha was one of those people, and her scenes were based on a real life encounter Sergio had with a woman from Central Asia in a refugees camp. The actress had also lost her loved ones in the civil war. Even though they were following a script, their dialogue was not rehearsed so the scene was largely improvised and Wagner Moura actually cried during filming.

Gaffes
At about 1 hour into the film, when Sergio is visiting his mother's house, the blue edition of the book "Einstein" by Walter Isaacson can be seen on the bookcase. This scene takes place in the 1990s, Isaacson's book was published in 2007.
