News & Reviews

"Breaking down barriers between the erudite and the popular, Léa Freire crosses the prejudices of a universe that is still male, sexist and misogynistic."
CINE JORNAL, CANAL BRASIL, June 2022
"Filmmaker Lucas Weglinski's script is masterly"
CARTA CAPITAL, June 2022
"Léa Freire is one of those artists who would be revered around the world if she had been born in an English-speaking country or somewhere else in Europe."
MUSIC ON THE RUN. June 2022
"How does an artist of Léa's stature remain a secret? All her life, exercising herself in a territory as masculine as instrumental music, Léa has known prejudice."
ISTO É, June 2022
"It portrays one of the country's leading composers and instrumentalists, Léa Freire, the beginning of her career playing at night in São Paulo and her trajectory, which has been compared to Tom Jobim, Villa-Lobos and Hermeto Pascoal."
BOOMERANG MUSIC, June 2022
Lucas Weglinski's "Nature Music" will introduce moviegoers to the composer and instrumentalist Léa Freire."
(REVISTA DE CINEMA, June 2022)

TERRA, June 2022
“The struggle of being a female composer in the misogynistic universe of the instrumental and orchestral music.”
RADIOTIMES, July 2022
"Nature Music is the highlight of the whole program. It's about a great, immense Brazilian artist who perhaps needs an introduction. A refined diamond."
Estado de São Paulo Newspaper
“Two Films at the Largest Film Festival in Latin America”
SPTV TVNEWS
“The most intense and beautiful theater in the world”
Bial TV Show
“Films that help to think about Brazil”
Trip Magazine

Vertents of Cinema Magazine

Carta Maior Magazine
“Desire Machine must be seen, especially at a time like this we are going through.”
Escuta Magazine
“The duo Joaquim Castro and Lucas Weglinski managed to add restlessness, passion and cultural history bathed in transgression and affections.”
Revista de Cinema
“The revolutionary company (which even renewed the Brazilian audiovisual) blossoms in the narrative in which diverse themes such as ecology and sexuality flow.”
