Lulli

"Lulli"

Watched English movie "Lulli". 

This movie is directed by Césare Rodrigues. Produced by Netflix Brazil. Writers Renato Fagundes, Thalita Rebouças. Music by Patricia Portaro. Cinematography by José Roberto Eliezer. This movie stars Larissa Manoela, Vinicius Redd, Amanda de Godoi, Yarra Charry, Sérgio Malheiros, Paula Possani. This movie was released in 2021 and runs for about 1 hour 30 min. I watched the movie on Netflix on 30th Dec 2021 with Aditi.

Lulli is a self centred brilliant medical student. Although she hears everyone, she never listens to anyone, including her boyfriend. One day there is an accident in the hospital involving Lulli. When she wakes up she realizes that she can hear thoughts of a person if she touches the person. 

What does she hear? Will she listen to the thoughts? What does she do with the knowledge she gains? Does she realize her dream of become Brazil's best surgeon?

Director has taken an interesting subject. The scope of this subject is literally unlimited. Any story can only address a small slice of the potential. Director chooses to take the hospital as his area of interest. His handling of the story is decent, however, the story could have been much better. Alas! The author doesn't capitalize on the potential.

Larissa plays Lulli. She needs to improve acting. Vinicius plays her boyfriend and does very well. Amanda is much more beautiful than what she looks in this movie. Sérgio, Yarra and Paola support well. 

It was a dubbed movie. Dubbed from Portuguese to English, so the lip movements and the dialogues aren't synchronized. 

Director manages to end the movie on a good note. 

Not a must watch.
