I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

its special beauty has many sources. a delicate form of realism. the balance between public image and personal vulnerability. the image of teenager for who the school is a challenge and the teacher - the prey. the nuances of middle age of a simple man with the life divided between Bach and class. but the most important thing is the precision of the director to suggest- desires, fears, thoughts, the effort to protect professional prestige,the vulnerability and the 25 years in class, aging, while the students have the same age. a touching film. especially for a teacher who could use mister Godoy as reflection of himself. Roney Facchini does an admirable role and Kaue Tellolli explores in smart manner the spirit of a generation. so, little more than beautiful. maybe, useful.

Professor Godoy is both bold and sensitive and while it may be about things to which not everyone can relate, it is told in a way that will move even the most skeptical of viewers. Godoy is a teacher who invites us in his world of toil, numbers and practical resolutions and who believes his life is laid before him as exact as the math problems he has been teaching for years. There is, however, one variable upon which he was not counting. Felipe, one of his students challenges his craft in ways it had never been challenged. Gui Ashcar explores the evolving emotions of both characters with all the subtlety the subject requires but is still not afraid to touch the "uncorfortable". This balance and the beautiful work of the cast and crew certainly makes "Professor Godoy" a must-see.
