Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

You will probably enjoy watching this film, but it will neither grip you by the neck or throw you against the wall! Review

Has its heart at the right place, and an interesting script, too. The problem is that the actors are not strong enough to support the convoluted narrative. Review

Josef Hader’s directorial debut is a light-hearted comedy with some amusing moments. Review

From Brazil to Europe, this profoundly personal documentary is a nostalgic eulogy to the revolutionary vigour of the 1960s. Review

How do you paint the portrait of an American brute and degenerate? Alberto Giacometti has the answer ... or maybe not. Review

An intrepid British sci-fi that raises urgent questions about surveillance. Review

A film effective in its delicateness at dealing with such an urgent subject matter. Review

A heartfelt film, but neither a blow to the head nor a punch to the stomach. Review

Doc exposes a country that has done remarkably little in order to fight discrimination. Review

A dark tale of a harsh and callous red state that forces a teenage girl to gatecrash into adulthood... Review

Take a very close and intimate look at our disgusting furry friends; their world might be filthy, but they more in common with us than you'd expect. Review

A celebration of an individual achiever, and a very factual register of a prodigy’s path to glory. Review

An ode to an extraordinatry music act, and an increasingly rare family model... Review

Impossible love is the centrepiece of this very unusual Austrian film, where the poetic licence freely permeates the movie structure... Review

Combines the colourful and the morbid in a twisted tale of teenage angst, political campaigning and murder. Review

A vital register of a highly contemptible and humiliating practice. Review

A vivid and sorrowful reminder of the tragic consequences of a war that started as an effort to implement democracy, a byproduct of the Arab Spring. Review

An insightful journey into the obscure corners of the largest country in the world. Review

Highly feminine and tender Brazilian doc busts the myths of insanity, helping to shed the stigma of people living with mental health issues. Review
