Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

There is lots of space for silliness here, yet Thor: Ragnarok is one of the most absorbing, even unpretentious Marvel-based films in years... Review

The imperfections are counterbalanced with one of those experiences that will make ruminate... Review

Kogonada uses elementary filmmaking processes to highlight real people within an honest, plausible story. Review

Manages to project this particular story in a way we can understand the wider historical context. Review

Rings some truths attached and is definitely worth exploring. Review

Simply an overlong, unarticulated, and impotent thriller that opted for the easiest way to impress. Review

A long, slow, and arduous walk toward an inevitable death. Review

May be visually arresting but it’s hollow at its core, embracing an implausible, nearly-surreal darkness... Review

Midi Z resorts to a slow, steady pace to set the highly articulate storytelling in motion. Review

Simultaneously bleak and illuminated... Review

Uncle Sam’s critical open wounds in a flawed manner... Review

Gradually lost the charm previously gained with the genuine unity of a likable group of friends. Review

The auteur shaped it brilliantly and the film truly impressed me by entangling, astonishing, and disorienting... Review

A faintly enjoyable, melodramatic trifle. Review

You’ll certainly find bracingly funny moments scattered throughout an amusing tale... Review

Not the masterpiece that some supporters are proclaiming but undoubtedly presents something more than most of the rom-coms... Review

Finds his focus on family matters, living from awkward situations and clear-cut observations while adopting a sly pose. Review

A decent farewell from Mr.Wajda... Review

A slow-and-steady, measured pace was deliberately assumed in order to earnestly encompass the least detail in this peculiar and blurry cycle of life and death. Review

Expect a light horror film but a heavy, psychological, dark chamber tale. Review

An arty biopic not to be missed. Review

In all its audacity and insubordination, doesn’t break new ground but didn’t let me down either. Review

An unparalleled Buddhist-Western odyssey that effectively earned my attention during its nearly two and a half hours. Review

The performances by the debutant boy actors, Einarsson and Hinriksson, were driven with an honest, dramatic strength... Review
