Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Paddleton is a fine portrayal of the friendship of two men who are like a married couple, always arguing, but their argument never takes a serious turn. Review

Photograph is a like a beautiful picture you want to keep staring at. It’s humble, profound, and deeply moving. Written lines are intelligent and provide food for thought. Review

Untouchable is interesting to watch. Certain scenes are well-shot, and its beginning could not be any better. But unfortunately, certain details revealed in the film were somewhat strange and questionable... Review

Throughout the journey, she never stops interacting with her son, but never stops insisting that the idea of creating an image of her is not her choice, but the choice of her son. Review

The biggest winner of Wounds is the exceptional editing and photography. Every scene is dark, atmospheric, uncomfortable, and disturbing. The horror scenes are too much to handle, but enough to send the viewer into a deep shock. Review

By the time when it’s over, you will have to take a minute to grasp everything you just saw – because it was powerful, moving but extremely sad at the same time. Review

To say that it is powerful would be an understatement. To say it’s brilliant and highly educational is not enough to get closer to make it perfect. Review

I Am Mother is a surprisingly intelligent sci-fi drama that explores an intimate relationship between humans and robots. Review

After the Wedding is a fantastic film filled with tenderness and admiration that draws a family portrait in an unconventional way. Review

An extraordinary film about the wonderful human being who happens to be the most important human rights lawyers in the world. Review

All these are truly justifiable when you find yourself analyzing the entire situation described in the film. Review

Piper De Palma as Anahita delivers a solid performance, not beautifying the character from outside, but giving light from the inside, which helps Anahita to grow as an individual. Review

There are not many documentaries that would take such an interesting approach, to explore the human aspect of life, tell multiple stories within one story. Review

The screenplay combines three different important subject matters in one film but sadly never reaches its logical conclusion. Review

Because it’s uplifting, wicked, and so beautifully simple that even though it touches upon a heavy concept, you will feel lighter and comfortable throughout. Review

Lost Holiday is lacking the passionate storytelling that could’ve taken this piece further than they could anticipate. Review

It’s wicked, intelligent, so damn relevant yet mind-blowing. Review

But what prevails the most in Knight’s full of twist film is the serene mind, plentiful imagination, and the opportunity that must be taken when the chance to redeem the past and correct mistakes is being offered. Review

Jonathan is a very disturbing, profoundly deep and very concerning subject matter; honestly speaking, it was quite terrifying to follow too. Review

A Dog’s Way Home is an excellent family adventure drama that will send everyone into deep awe. Review

Glass has everything you need to enjoy your two hours – a bit of humor, intense storyline, action scenes, and even a love story. Review

Hollywood on Trial is an excellent way to make a trip back to history, to hear perspectives of each individual, the series of interviews, archival footages of the Congress, and what happened to those who got blacklisted for their view. Review

Destroyer is an excellent crime thriller filled with a mind-blowing performance. Review

Mary Poppins Returns is all what we needed to have our souls dance throughout, singing along and appreciate family even more. Review
