4 out of 5 stars A competent Portuguese film.......2006-01-11

Portugal, unlike Brazil, does not have a booming film industry. Films from Portugal are either poorly acted, boring, or confusing. Luckily Capitães de Abril doesn't disappoint. The film is serious in tone and nature as it talks about Portugal's Revolução dos Cravos (Carnation Revolution). Portugal finally decided to turn against the fascist government in power and grant liberty to it's 5 remaining African colonies.

The movie does a great job of representing the tension and the Portuguese people. The biggest complaint I can make is that the movie runs a bit long and could've used some concise editing. But other than that, this a good piece of historical Portuguese drama.
