Rio Breaks
Time Out says
Somewhat hamstrung by its rambling structure, rickety editing and an ending that suggests the filmmakers ran out of rushes, Justin Mitchell’s surf doc is, nevertheless, a likeable and laid-back portrait of opposing lifestyles and an appropriate illustration of how new pastimes can help guide the dispossessed along more fruitful paths. Lush photography, fine footage and a surfy soundtrack keep things trucking even if it never amounts to anything profound or enlightening.
