Review

Entertainment Weekly, 12/11/1998, p.52, "...A richly tender and moving experience....Salles displays a pure, unpatronizing feel for the poetry of broken lives..." -- Rating: A-

USA Today, 07/16/1999, p.9E, "...Montenegro clicks with nonprofessional co-star Vinicius de Oliveira, and director Walter Salles has a flair for outdoor compositions..."

New York Times, 11/20/1998, p.E10, "...Beautifully observed and featuring a bravura performance by the Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro....[A] lovely, stirring film..."

Premiere, 12/01/1998, p.33, "...Its humanism is genuinely felt....The kind of movie that's rarely made anymore: an unromanticized look into completely unglamorous lives..."

Box Office, 11/01/1998, p.154, "...A sincere film....Backed by an arresting performance from Montenegro, the film's strength is subtlety....CENTRAL STATION'S emotional ending is honest and moving..."

Sight and Sound, 03/1999, p.37-8, "...[A] microcosm of Brazilian life both intimate and eloquent..."

Rolling Stone, 12/10/1998, p.131, "...A Brazilian film of uncommon grace....A work of imperishable heart..."

Product Notes

Fernanda Montenegro's affecting performance, nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, is the centerpiece in this acclaimed Brazilian film. In the bustling heart of Rio de Janeiro, a young boy witnesses the accidental death of his mother. When a lonely, retired schoolteacher (Montenegro) reluctantly agrees to care for the boy, they begin a journey across the countryside on which they learn valuable lessons about each other and the human spirit.
