Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

Despite of a finale in need of better inspiration, this is a lively movie. Review

The uncanny approach and poignant humor that is continuously taking out from Mr.Anderson's magical hat, wisely didn't leave the feelings or emotions behind. A cheerful piece of art. Review

In a city inflamed by severe protests against capitalism, future and technology, will this man be able to get rid of the pressure? False espionage or simply prophecy, its monotone and tricky dialogs didn't catch me. Review

The story was very well cooked and the option for animation was accomplished with success, conveying all the richness and colors of jazz blended with the passion of romance. Review

The huge number of characters make the viewer's job harder and only increase the mess of the story. I am convinced that Hark's only concern was to provide us with frantic action and computer manipulated imagery. Review

This is a simple but serious movie about maturity, willpower and the difficulty to break some dearest yet unhealthy family ties. Review

We can almost sense his unease, when he was faced with bankruptcy, fraud, the death of his lover and family conflicts, all at once. Review

Despite the courage in saying what needs to be said, there’s not much fervor in Spike’s preaching. Review

With respect to the story itself, I found it flabby with a lot of insipid characters. Moreover, the symbols constantly popping up on the screen, trying to look like a video game, were annoying and vulgar. Review

Structured with constant flashbacks, the movie was capable of sharpen my curiosity for a while but in the end, I had that strange sensation of wanting something more. It’s not a bad movie at all, just was not so emotional or intense as insinuated. Review

The plot can’t hide some narrative issues and unexplained happenings, but on the other hand, the special effects are awesome and the moments of chaos are nicely crafted. Review

I believe that the duration could have been reduced as well as the number of chopped heads, but the movie gained my respect and consideration for all it conveys. I was touched by the bravery, courage, honor and creeds of this people. Review

Tension, action and humor are combined in the right proportions. Review

The movie is stated in tepid tones and was never able to scoop any magical formula to surprise us. Although, far from the latest Italian movies about the same subject, such as Gomorrah or Il Divo, it will still be able to provide minimum entertainment. Review

Maybe due to its pace or the frequent little games and lies played by its characters, but something made me step back a little. Reinforcing my point of view: a plot with dashing ideas, yet without a glamorous execution. Watchable, though. Review

The movie shows not only the energy and obsessive dedication of this man, but also his sadness and loneliness. Review

The fear of not being accepted as they really are, associated with the idea that there’s always someone for you, is played here as a major key, but the movie happens to be too dense and cold to be fully enjoyed. Not a cheerful choice. Review

This was the first and only feature film, so far, directed by George Ovashvili. Gripping, memorable and deeply moving. Review

The famous British humor, much sharper and efficient than the horror scenes, incites Grabbers to become a good choice for those who search for a pleasant time. Review

Even if this movie has been inspired by true events, its story is absurdly foolish. Review

Although visually impressive, it didn’t show the brain or the accuracy of his predecessors. Review

The weakness here is the plot, which is not so rich or appealing as in some earlier works. Lovers of the genre will be pleased with the action's effects, while the others can just take a look to pass some time. Review

This completely loose version of the German tale, made popular by the Grimm brothers, was not so bad after all and even without making wonders, was able to provide some amusement. Review

Dance and music are present too but are unable to save the movie from superficiality and inconsequent jokes. Review
