Query: Amateur?

Although I have enjoyed many Brazilian films and am a fan of Brazilian culture and life in general, I was quite disappointed in this particular effort.I can dimly grasp why someone might WANT to think of this as a good film but not how anyone actually COULD. Beyond its use of an amateur cast one might also think of it as an exercise in amateur sociology and, seemingly, film-making in general.To identify it as "Best" or "One of the top ten" of anything, as reviews quoted on the DVD case do, seems absurd.
