Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

The cinematography does a decent job in translating the colours and the textures of Frida’s world to the silver screen, but that’s about the only aspect of Two Fridas that I can commend. Recensie

Moving in its candor and remarkable in its perceptiveness. Recensie

Hungarian drama about man in his 30s overcoming being dumped by girlfriend excels in sensibility and ingeniousness; it's a heartfelt ode to masculinity in all of its splendid brittleness. Recensie

Riveting enough at its duration of 88 minutes. But the story has a few gaps, and the narrative doesn’t come full circle, the proposed closure isn’t too convincing. Recensie

Sensory film filmed in 35 countries during six years; the outcome is rather impressive if not without imperfections. Recensie

The photography is splendid. While effective enough as a disaster drama, Spitak also has a few problems. Recensie

Raises pertinent questions about the role of the documentarist and the purpose of the footage collected... Recensie

Overall, a great premise and yet a missed opportunity. Perhaps the whole thing would have functioned better as a short film instead. Recensie

Romain Gavras's second feature is a gangster comedy mocking European cliches, while also teeming with the colours of the Mediterranean; sadly the story is just too silly and disjointed. Recensie

A powerful documentary... Recensie

Wildlife is effective enough as a family drama, but it lacks the punch-in-the-face factor. Recensie

A little Indiana Jones, a little Guillermo del Toro. American military horror set on D-Day makes use of every conceivable genre cliche, yet it's scary and fun enough to watch. Recensie

All in all, an enjoyable ride through the life of a woman who dodged labels and preconceptions both within and outside the rock world in favour of her individuality. Recensie

This is a movie about living with psychosis and overcoming it. Recensie

A dazzling Glenn Close shines in movie about ghost writing wife and the nature of creative writing; sadly the film is lacklustre in almost every other aspect... Recensie

Japanese animation master crafts a fascinatingly puerile and colourful tale about only child coming to terms with his newly-arrived sister... Recensie

It’s fun, it’s gentle and it’s also rejuvenating to watch. Recensie

Exquisite tribute to very old age starring a nonagenarian Harry Dean Stanton raises questions about loneliness and "realism". Recensie

For a far more effective, humane and meaningful heist movie, watch American Animals. Recensie

The real-story of four highly ambitious and inept criminals who attempted to rob a library in Kentucky is surprisingly humanistic and moving. Recensie

British indie blends the topics of Alzheimer's, grief and loneliness with just the right amount of adrenaline; the outcome is elegant and moving. Recensie

This is not poverty porn. This is the fly-on-the-wall type of documentary-making, with a very feminine gaze. Recensie

Effective doc about fashion icon reveals audacious artistic streak contrasted against a certain racial ambivalence. Recensie

A deeply riveting and educational film for the whole family. Recensie
