Plot: After a break-up, an influencer takes her friends on a trip to Bahia's vibrant Carnival, where she discovers life is about more than just social media likes.


My Movie Review: The movie is such a easy watch enjoyed it a lot having fun seeing this four friends explore the festivities and side hustle flirting love interests like I went to a trip with them! To give you run down here's what Carnaval's about after a particularly brutal break-up with her Instagram famous boyfriend, Nina (Giovana Cordeiro), herself a budding influencer, gets the break and swag she's been posting for: an all-inclusive trip to picture-perfect Salvador, Bahia, just in time for Carnaval, with all its parties and chances to dress up for her. The same day her friends Mayra (Bruna Inocencio), Vivi (Samya Pascotto) and Michelle (Gessica Kayane) rally to lift her spirits, she gets some exciting career opportunity to join hunky pop sensation Freddy Nunes (Micael) and fellow influencers for the Carnival at an all-inclusive resort Salvador, Brazil. I notice she follow another famous influencer a girl she adore but things didn't quite turn up the way I expected thankful the massive parade towards the end when she went to the float and lost friends hand in the midst of the crowd enjoying the festivities make a quite memorable act!

Critic Reviews: Its broad comedy and thoughtful themes aren't completely cogent, due to a lack of properly motivated character developments and questionable scenarios. Carnaval is like Girls Trip by way of Brazil, but the acting and many of the comedy's punchlines are fairly over-exaggerated. This frothy film about the #lifelessons an Instagram influencer learns during Carnival in Brazil is as superficial as it sounds, but its postcard-perfect setting and gorgeous cast are easy to watch. As shallow as its influencer subject matter, Carnaval isn't overflowing with depth. For better or worse, it feels like a true modern era social media era rom-com. It's all harmless, if pretty much charmless. Carnaval wants to like, say something about superficiality and stuff, but never really gets beneath the surface of its characters or situations. 'Ibiza-Like' 'Girls Trip' Like its bright and colorful imagery, “Carnaval” is more of a lighthearted story about friends taking a vacation and growing closer together. The movie's strengths lie in its bouncy, breezy, exhilarating energy, capture colorful flavors of the culture, community and atmosphere!!
