The ABC saw Brazil's first labor movements in 1 907 when textile female workers played a significant role. lt was there that, on February 10, 1 980, the Workers' Party was born. 0ne of its founders was metal worker and union leader Luís lnácio Lula da Silva, current president of Brazil."
"Saw this picture today and am very pleased the way Carlos Reichenbach portraits group of female workers in an industrial Sao Paulo neighborhood, their families, working habits, free time and loves. Very powerful and striking story on some intolerance you can found in almost every big industrial city in the world. Episode on fascist behaviour against foreigners from other provinces is bold and powerful. Great cinematography, full of ideas,great acting. The tenderness of the director towards his characters almost equals Ken Loach's views, but in a more poignant, radical and explosive way." - eliepoliti IMDB
"This 2003 Brazilian melodrama in more mainstream than the others I´ve seen by director Carlos Reichenbach (Suburban Angels, Buccaneer Soul and Two Streams), but is visual flair is still very much in evidence." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER

The kitsch "Falsa Loura" works mostly because of the sexy Rosane Mulholland that gives a magnificent personification and interpretation of the lead character, a worker during the day and a tacky but sexy and morally ambiguous woman during the night, living a fake world like the color of her hair. Carlos Reichenbach seems to satirize the Cinderella fairytale or "Pretty Woman" with this ironic tale of a young woman that finds her prince charming twice and is treated like a whore in the end. This sensual movie is entertaining and Rosane Mulholland is indeed a very beautiful woman.
