Reviews

Critics generally praised How Do You See Me? for its sensitive treatment of themes related to aging and self-worth. On IMDb, the film holds a moderate rating around 6.3/10, with viewers appreciating Cássia Kis's compelling performance as authentic and emotionally resonant. Reviewers from Brazilian outlets, such as AdoroCinema, highlighted the film's delicate portrayal of the elderly experience, noting, "The narrative gently unfolds the invisible challenges faced by older adults, bringing empathy to the forefront." However, some critiques pointed out that the film’s pacing could feel slow, and its introspective approach might not appeal to audiences expecting a more dynamic storyline. The film doesn’t have a rating on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, which is common for many independent and foreign films but it is acknowledged in festival circuits and among viewers for shedding light on important social issues. Overall, How Do You See Me? is considered a thoughtful character study with heartfelt performances, though its appeal may be more niche than mainstream.
