Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

Even with a few uneven episodes, the satire focuses on social class gaps and shapes into an important statement against political corruption and abusive influence in the contemporary Taiwanese society. Review

Humor and tragedy combine effortlessly in this sensitive, mindful, and stylish look at the roots of a distant African culture and the unjust burdens that mark its society. Review

Handsomely crafted with powerful, thrilling scenes, showcasing not only a Russian medical predicament but perhaps even a worldly one. Review

Even if excessively sanguinary, it runs at a dazzling pace and boasts impeccably mounted episodes. Review

The film was mounted with a consistent narrative flow while its emotional grip is maintained until the last minute. Review

Another funny, clever, and imaginative animated fable. Review

Was conceived with strong performances and never softens up, even when giving signs of momentarily wobbling. Review

Although a bit reluctant during the first minutes, I was completely involved in the conversations and misadventures of the friends... Review

Regardless the moderate collapse as a cinematic effort, it can easily work as an inspiration for many people going through the same process... Review

The heavy-handed narrative together with Spanish-born Fernando Velázquez’s annoying score make us all stuck too, waiting for the pointless ending to arrive. Review

I suspect this dark, immersive, and disturbing exercise is just the beginning of a beautiful filmmaking career. Review

Even with fear encircling the story, I had the feeling that Ana Urushadze's have gone deeper in the real/imaginary duality. Review

Everything remains unimaginative, unfunny, and formulaic, in an absurd attempt to compensate the tedious musical part... Review

Agile camerawork, dexterous storytelling, and competent performances helped define the psychological conflicts... Review

More estrangement than any astute twist... Review

Original, atmospheric, tragic, and thrilling. Review

Phoenix makes you enjoy every moment of his sinister role with a quiet assurance. Review

While Pfeiffer and Sutherland show raw and intact acting capabilities, the dramatic side of the story decreases with time... Review

Runs at slow speeds and only intermittently connects. Review

It has a fluctuating grip, lacking any sort of bright final punch that could have made it memorable. Review

Even if a bit more of historical and cultural insight about Palestine would have favored the account, the film is very informative and optimistic... Review

Regardless the unblemished visual aspect, the script is marred by a shattering predictability. Review

Bhutiani crafts a modest yet spiritually inspiring story where duty, friendship, family ties, and loss are subjected to a dignified meditation. Review

Spielberg rides the fashion waves of trendiness with sensorially exhausting pyrotechnics. Review
