Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A sweeping drama set in the chaotic aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq, where the life of top UN diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello hangs in the balance during the most treacherous mission of his career.
"After directing a documentary about Brazilian diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello, filmmaker Greg Barker decided to take the story to fiction in this exclusive Netflix drama. And it's not an easy task: after all, the high-ranking UN diplomat lived many lives. He pacified wars, stopped conflicts, made global agreements. In private, he had problems, loved, suffered. And although Barker got the tone of this mosaic of feelings right, it is Wagner Moura who steals the show in 'Sergio'. The actor, who has good chemistry with Ana de Armas on screen, brings confidence to the role. He speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese. He gets emotional, leverages the sensitivity of the situation. Thus showing that he is one of the great actors of our time. It's a shame that the movie gets lost in some moments, losing rhythm and emotion. If it were more consistent, especially in of script, it would be Wagner Moura's great career film. But the essentials are here: good plot, exemplary performance and the story of a Brazilian reaching the world."
