Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

A striking script adaption of a book realised with a real love for the craft of the stop frame animation process. Review

It will entertain you while still touching on complex and potentially incendiary topics. Review

Overall, it seems more suited to museums than to theaters, but that’s hardly a bad quality. Review

A hurricane of emotions: Japanese family drama rescues complex sentiments from candid dialogues and trivial events, with inevitable comparisons to Ozu's Tokyo Story. Review

An enjoyable 90-minutes love-story and it is an outstanding debut feature for Mark Wilshin. Review

Interesting and gripping enough to watch for nearly two hours. Review

Russia has no time for kindness and solidarity, in this hellish portrayal of a woman in search of her incarcerated husband... Review

A breathtaking sexual and psychological thriller in no way inferior to Swimming Pool... Review

An extremely urgent denunciation tool and piece of filmmaking. Review

Biopic of the French sculptor Auguster Rodin lacks movement, energy and vigour - unlike the vibrant pieces by the artist... Review

Feels a little trite if you are familiar with Haneke’s filmography and cinematic trademarks. Review

A very effective tale of urban life malaise, plus a lighthearted study of a mental breakdown, with excellent acting and a sturdy hand at the helm. Review

Impeccable in style and profoundly subversive in its subject... Review

Urgent in its simplicity. Review

This extremely violent Korean thriller tries it very hard, but it's not going to hit you in the face... Review

This is very human cinema, arresting for its simplicity. Review

A very straightforward eulogy to a living legend. Still a very pleasant, didactic and commendable one. Review

A combination of extreme violence and realism are not a surefire recipe for a good movie... Review

You won't die laughing with this extremely long, caustic and strange Scandinavian comedy, but the movie does have some arresting and clever moments... Review

Reveals the immense importance of Leon Vitali's work both before and after Stanley Kubrick's death. Review

Sadly these promises do not materialise. The film slowly morphs into a action thriller dotted with a few poetical devices. Review

Excels in ingeniousness and technical wizardry, but the story gets a little diluted in own complexity. Review

A gripping and disturbing film... Review

This charming British indie takes a peek inside the colourful imagination of an adolescent, and the outcome is delicate and dainty. Review
