HollywoodChicago.com film review: Brazilian indie 'The Year My Parents Went on Vacation'

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on March 23, 2008 - 11:54pm.

HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald wrote in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new Brazilian indie “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation”:

Film is often at its best when it offers a “window to the world” or surprising and personal stories about other countries and cultures dealing with issues that life in the U.S. never imagines. “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation” is a meticulous, fascinating and tender story of Brazil in 1970 when revolution was in the air and the World Cup was the hope of bringing a country back together.
