Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Toni Erdman captures both, Ines and Winfried’s relationship in a way that you will realize, if this is not worth living, what else can then be? Review

Manchester by the Sea is an emotionally overwhelming film that’s impossible to watch without a heavy heart. Casey Affleck’s breakthrough performance as Lee Chandler is, in a way, shocking and joyful experience. Review

The loss of space and time is what fascinates most in this film – which we must thank both actresses for in their seamless portrayal of Julieta in two different stages of life. Review

Isabelle Huppert brings the best of Michèle Leblanc you could possibly imagine. Review

The Unknown Girl is a powerful drama that, once again brings us the life of ordinary people, life-changing mistakes they made, naturalistic scenes and the dreadful consequences of what we don’t do when we had to. Review

Marija is a decent drama from Michal Koch, who offers a delicate subject matter of a single woman in Dortmund, and how she tries to cope with the troubles her daily life brings. Review

Even the production, costumes, and cinematography is quite outstanding and literally transports you to 1944 when Florence Jenkins hit the Carnegie Hall. The script written by Nicholas Martin is unquestionably perfect. Review

In Order of Disappearance is well narrated crime drama showing that, with needed desire, a single man can trigger war between drug and gun sellers in a way that there will be no need for police to interfere with. Review

Standing Tall is an intense drama about a man who had to survive a difficult childhood. Review

You can’t simply assume that the audience that goes to the movie theater expects to watch a ridiculously silly film and they deserve nothing else. That should never be the case when you try to come up with an original story. Review

None of those words would be enough to describe the enchanting atmosphere this film delivers. The performance delivered by Haruka Ayase, Masami Nagasawa, Kaho and Suzu Hirose is so fabulous, that you will lose the feeling of reality. Review

It’s just bad storyline with some powerful performances delivered by Anna Gunn. Review

The Infiltrator brings you an opportunity to conduct a detailed character study, where you never have to question why this or that had ever happened. Review

Yes, it may not be the greatest movie you have ever seen, or, it can even be one of the worst you’ve seen in a while, but it is still watchable and worthwhile seeing. Review

The beautiful scenery, camera work and yet, dark photography delivers an outstanding look of hidden animal nature that’s always been in human beings. It was just a matter of releasing it. Review

It’s a wickedly intelligent movie that I am sure will take your breath away. The performance delivered is so convincing that you soon might stop reading the subtitles as you would not wish to miss any minor facial expression of the actors that not even a single line would be capable of delivering. Review

It’s imaginative and compelling... Review

Café Society is a real film about real people, natural feelings and choices some of us may disagree with. Review

Greengrass delivers same high-class thrills while the film itself lives up to the expectation. From the start to the end it will deliver nothing but absolute enjoyment a Jason Bourne franchise deserves. Review

Neerja is an excellent biographical thriller describing unbelievable heroism displayed by Neerja Bhanot. Review

It’s entertaining and intelligent, compelling and at times touching. Nowadays, there are not many animated films that could have make you think about it afterward, but this one surely does. Review

She’s Allergic to Cats is an absolutely delightful movie to see. It reminds you what does it mean to have an experimental subject matter, have a filmmaker with a taste and the cast that will help you to get onto the story quickly. Review

Kidnap Capital is a powerful drama about illegal migrants who left everything behind for a real life and the threat they faced in the United States... Review

It is harmless and engaging. Funny and right to the point. Written lines are tasteful, hilarious and reachable to any viewer. Review
