Four candidates for a federal judge position embark on a madcap, no-holds-barred race to outdo one another, each committing his own brand of mayhem.
Our read: O Concurso (2013) reads as a cosy, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
