Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

With Del Toro at his finest, expect to be jaw-dropped with the magnificence of the visuals. Let yourself be hastened into this unforgettable water slide ride. Review

This tale of retaliation, redemption, and forgiveness, besides constantly spellbinding, has many important things to say. Review

Dream and reality mix to take us on a voyage that doesn’t add absolutely anything to what we are, think, or feel about nature and our existence. Review

Effortlessly gliding between pungent drama and theatrical satire, this is an inspired, fast-paced chamber piece that ends gloriously staggering. Review

Gets terribly melodramatic as the story proceeds and brutally stagey by the end. Review

Is, in truth, a polished war film where the action is purely wordy. And it worked! Review

The drama is filled with raw emotions and evinces an incredible honesty in terms of storytelling. Review

Extremely absorbing, mostly because of the strange acting rapport between Vinaite and the young Prince... Review

While the soundtrack is awesome, all the moody characters are unenchanting and some of them even useless. Review

He takes his directorial career to a higher peak, delivering the weirdest and perhaps the funniest comedy of 2017. Review

Making a feel-good movie from a tragedy is no easy-to-do task, and Linklater only partially succeeds in that challenging endeavor. Review

Better the subject matter than the technical aspects. Review

This funny, tender, and brilliant film, thriving with witty observations and touching conclusions, is undoubtedly at the very top of my 2017 best list. Review

Simply didn’t work for me. Review

It felt like I was in a video game without being able to control it. Review

The scintillating Elie Harboe, delivering a standout performance, gives you another good reason to see this movie. Review

Provocative, transgressive, and predominantly off-the-wall... Review

If you're looking for pitch-dark tales packed with wickedness, cruelty, and crime, this one can make your day. Review

Even with promising pouches of intrigue and an interesting, atypical character, we don’t get a full delivery of that promise. Review

Perfectly good to watch, demonstrating a genuine keenness to amuse. Review

Green sustains sufficient levels of honesty throughout to make us follow our hero with interest until the final credits start to roll. Review

A dead-on satire enhanced with eccentric musical interludes... Review

The tension is unstoppable and the film has no dead moments or delays in its well-planned course of events. Review

Part social commentary, part character study, is not a pleasurable watch, holding a tighter grip in its first half, but failing to surprise in the debilitating second. Review
