The Way He Looks is a Brazilian coming-of-age movie that tells a heartwarming story of love, friendship, and the complex relationship between the two, especially for young people. Leo (Guilherme Lobo) is a blind boy who moves to São Paulo not knowing anybody, and eventually is befriended by classmate Gabriel (Fabio Audi). At first, their relationship is platonic, with Gabriel often accompanying Leo and acting as his set of eyes, but it eventually blossoms into an adorable affection for each other. Given that Brazil's current president is one of the most actively homophobic world leaders today, movies like this are increasingly important in countries where being LGBTQ+ is more dangerous — and often illegal.
