Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Cividino’s film studies well the lifestyle of teenage boys, whose fearless actions or the adrenaline that rages in their blood makes them take unthinkable and risky steps. Review

Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson as directors do a fine job here, creating an interesting atmosphere where the surreal world takes over a sane one. Review

Although this film was intended as a comedy, it still has an element of drama which fills the viewer’s heart with joy, and then to sorrow. That, of course, happens due to the problems our hero must deal with. In spite of all that, Hardwick’s film delivers abundant laughter, and you will enjoy the film throughout. Review

Rozema’s film is well narrated, but mainly, it’s the performance of two female leading actors that make it worth watching. Review

It’s such a delight to see a film that within a short time can make you smile, or perhaps, to bring a tears of joy as you watch the film. Review

Meyers’ The Holiday is one of those films that brings you cosiness in a cold and harsh winter evening by creating such a warm, feel-good atmosphere. Review

The screenplay is so well written, that it leaves no gap, but only a feeling of joy, and excitement about the journey you as a viewer are about to embark. Review

Trumbo is well-crafted film, superbly delivers the period, and manages to capture the desperation, almost ready to give up, but never hopeless Dalton Trumbo. Review

The Hateful Eight has absolutely everything that grabs your attention... Review

Joy is not a terrible film, however, it’s not good either, which leaves more the feelings of disappointment rather than joy. Review

The Santa Clause is quite an enchanting film, and an absolute delight to watch at Christmas time with entire family. It’s harmless, a bit naïve, and easy to watch film that once again reminds us why we all love to believe in miracles. Review

There is something pure, real, and incredibly positive energy that comes from Edwin L. Martin’s A Christmas Carol directed back in 1938. Review

It always keeps the viewers interested, while the story develops so quickly, that sometime you probably will find it difficult to watch while staying seated. Review

99 Homes delivers an intense story, where the ugly side of foreclosed is exposed in Bahrani’s film. Review

It’s an excellent drama about how one person can change the present by recalling her past. Review

Rachel Weisz as Lena is gripping, Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel together create an absolute masterpiece, while Jane Fonda probably had five minutes of screen time, but that was enough to envelop the entire film with her stunning in-depth performance. Review

Todd Haynes creates an absolutely mesmerizing world, adding to it a sensitive score, cinematography and his intuition, allowing the two lead cast to throw themselves into romance they will find hard to avoid. Review
