Clocking in at a buttock-numbing 190minutes, 'Sangue do meu Sangue' ('Blood of my Blood') is a Portuguese drama about a working-class family's travails (daughter having affair with teacher; son in trouble with drug pushers; mother wondering should she move in with her boyfriend, etc). There isn't enough story to sustain a length of over three hours and shots of people walking along streets, or bits of dialogue that could have been half the length, are very self-indulgent. Not to mention the director's decision to have two or three conversations taking place at the same time, which means the sub-titles can't always keep up with the dialogue! There's a good kitchen sink drama in here somewhere, but the viewer needs to sort the wheat from the chaff to get at it.
