There are movies which are slow-paced but this is not the case: even to be slow you need to have something going on! There are movies that should be increased and turned into series, and there are others which should be shortened and become short-length films. I cannot help but say that "Further Away" is a diverse case: it should be a photograph! Nothing happens here and it is boring to death. When the climax of the story is a crab stealing a ball of thread, we notice that the film has an absolute lack of events. I seriously missed the point. The only bond between the "story" and political text in the end is the difficulty of fishing. A beautiful cinematography is never enough for a good film; you need a script, whichever kind of script. If they intended to make spectators feel bored and apatethically desperate just like the character, well, then they did succeed!

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.
