One of the six films pre-selected by the Brazilian Academy of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts to compete for a spot for Best International Film at the 2023 Oscars.
The recommended film rating for Charcoal in Brazil (18, the highest in the country) caused surprise at Pandora Filmes, the distributor. The Ministry of Justice judged the production - a critique of hypocrisy in a rural family - unsuitable for children under 18. The distributor appealed, without success.
As of december 2023, the movie has a 100% evaluation on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 15 reviews
The latest project from Director / Writer Carolina Markowicz with her usual theme being about people who somehow don't follow the norms of society.
