What critics compared Ironweed to
The truth is, Babenco -- who broke through to world prominence with "Pixote" in 1981, had an American career ("Kiss of the Spider Woman," "Ironweed") and then returned to Brazil -- isn't as good as the much younger Meirelles.
The widespread success of “Pixote” opened doors to Hollywood that enabled Babenco to make “Kiss Of The Spider Woman” (1985), “Ironweed,” (1987) and “At Play In The Fields Of The Lord” (1991).
