Brazil, beginning of the 20th Century. Fastly growing city of São Paulo. Slavery has just been abolished. Three women of the Soares family, former owners of lands and slaves, just came back to the city. Lost after the death of their last housemaid slave, they struggle to adapt to the changes in Brazil. At the same time, the Nascimento family, who used to work as slaves in the Soares farm are now facing a society in which there is no space for the recently freed black people. Between Brazil's past and present, out of place, they all fight to survive in the modern world.

Jonathan Romney Screen International 02/23/2020
A stately, eccentric fiction that merges cultural-political history with outré melodrama - a potentially heady mix, but one that plays out here to stiffly academic effect. Go to Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter 02/23/2020
It's a movie that's all subtext and no text - and even the subtext struggles to make a point that's more complex than a blunt truth. Go to Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety 02/23/2020
The film's worthy goals are hampered by an obviousness that favors exposition over subtlety... Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 07/18/2023
A hard to understand story, but with an interesting premise. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review M.G. Mailloux In Review Online 06/06/2021
[All the Dead Ones] is a welcome, unequivocal rejection of assimilation and assertion that colonization isn't just a bad memory, but a present and still-honored tradition. Go to Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily 03/04/2020
For all its formal rigidity, the last half-hour of All the Dead Ones does come thrillingly alive as ghosts from a history of cruelty, both literal and metaphorical, arise to claim their place. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
