Filmmaker João Miller Guerra & Filipa Reis provides an in-depth observation of the day-to-day of three generations of women and it's clear what their purpose and intentions are for this movie. With gorgeous camerawork, production, and sound designs, it achieves with many technical aspects and including the performances from the entire cast members.
Narrative-wise, it has it's faults because while the concepts are interesting, it's repetitive and uneven structure of what it wants to tell ends up being slow and vague with it's purpose. It felt like "Jeanne Dielman" but unlike it being masterful, Légua feels unfazed and unfocused with what's trying to be at times which ends up making it difficult to relate or understand much of the characters.
There are some good dialogue moments and designs as well. Overall, I did appreciate some of the aspects and while it is interesting, it's unfocused structure leaves more desired.
