In the Bolsonaro-era Brasilia of this incendiary two-hander—the second collaboration between directors Queirós and Pimenta—political resistance takes the form of an all-women gang who steal and refine oil before selling it on to bikers. The melding of documentary style with elements of science-fiction and the Western yields an indelible vision of a gritty, present-day dystopia.
