Pedro Costa delivers another challenging immersion in Lisbon slum life in "Colossal Youth," a numbing, nearly three-hour fusion of documentary and dramatic essay that will hold the Portuguese director's coterie of fans in rapt attention while proving a colossal bore to everyone else. Far-reaching study of poverty, loneliness and hope amid suffering is weighed down by its soporific structure, deliberately indolent pacing and endlessly attenuated conversations among a clutch of ill-defined personalities, limiting the film's accessibility strictly to festivals and select Euro arthouses.

Só por este superlead, parece que já consigo ver o filme: o artigo da Variety sobre o último de Pedro Costa.
