Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

Superb Italian drama with strong religious connotations meditates on compassion, trust and selflessness, and receives rousing ovation in Cannes. Review

Kurdish women take arms and fight for survival and a life as sex slaves, in an epic and moving film but also not without flaws. Review

Argentinian film produced by the Almodovar brothers about prolific and sexually "deviant" serial killer excels in originality; it's literally a film to die for. Review

Chinese director's most expensive film to date retains the auteur's distinctive streak and is mostly effective, albeit hardly innovative. Review

The enfant terrible of French cinema stuns Cannes (or not) with a filthy masterpiece you will probably never watch. Review

Movie about revenge porn starts off well, but then slips into mannerism and becomes complacent with a type of behaviour that should never be tolerated. Review

French director's latest LGBT drama is profoundly personal and not without touching moments, but it's also idiosyncratic and riddled with references and namedropping. Review

Iranian director's first endeavour abroad featuring a top-drawer cast fails to glue together and to add anything new to helmer's rich filmography. Review

Will hit you right in the face with its candidness and straightforwardness. Review

Serial killer romance set in Jersey is infectious with lyrical ambiguity and undertones, in an impressive debut work... Review

Berwari is entirely selfless, and his bravery is unfathomable. But the film is also a little disjointed. Review

This is a warm and delicate movie, full of peace and kindness... Review

You too will feel like taking your clothes off and spinning around naked in front of everyone else. Review

Combines elements of drama and comedy, but the outcome is a little clumsy... Review

Starts out as a complex and moving psychological drama, but then slips into action and slasher clichés... Review

Every single frame in Ága is an art piece in itself. Review

Imhoof cleverly sows together old letters and photos of Giovanna with dramatic images of EU ships rescuing refugees from overcrowded makeshift boats... Review

Reveals the details of a process so absurd that it’s akin to Kafka’s eponymous novel, which is mentioned the film. Review

Visually exquisite and sophisticated, despite a very commonplace script... Review

Linn da Quebrada is unabashedly confrontational, yet she’s tender and affectionate. Review

Audacious doc registers the rebel struggle against the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo Joseph Kabila... Review

Romanian drama exposes an American society and immigration system infested with patriotism and corruption. Review

Profoundly disturbing and contains very current messages... Review

Avoids cliches, is psychologically multilayered and surprisingly moving... Review
