Seu Iremar really looks from this world, skin made of dust and muscles of fight with the bulls.

The Tribeca Film Festival wrote: "We often applaud actors for the amount of information they can convey about their characters within a given film. But if there is a unique acting style that is often undervalued in contemporary cinema, it is more likely to be Gabriel Mascaro's Boi Neon, an electric study of gender dynamics among a traveling group of rodeo hands, owes much of its power to the seductive central performance of Juliano Cazarré, who plays Iremar, a bull breeder with fashion design dreams. Cazarré reveals little more than the basic facts about his character and speaks even less throughout the film, based on his muscular physique (and the comfort he exhibits within him) to suggest a muted machismo which tightens erotic tensions and tells a subliminal story of a free and libidinal life that does not require a single word." Many other publications praised Juliano Cazarré's work for Boi Neon, such as
