The First Mass 1961
6.6 / 10
The First Mass
Meant principally for a sympathetic audience, whether Catholic or not, this routine story about a priest's receiving the call to the cloth may be a bit slow and theatrical for some viewers. Directed by Lima Barreto, the tale is told in a series of flashbacks as the priest remembers how he was transformed as a child into a person willing to give his life in service of the church and his God. Barreto also scripted the story, which in the end, may be too filled with religious platitudes and preachy overtones to effectively convey its message.

Orphaned and raised on a mission by sisters, Dulce is sought out in São Paulo by Beatriz, who reveals herself to be her mother. Abandoned as a baby, she also discovers that she has a twin brother, now her sister Marisa, who owns a karaoke bar with a "refuge" spirit, which brings together an LGBTIQ+ audience, a completely new universe for Dulce.
