Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

A heartwarming and inspirational creation. A movie guaranteed to put a smile on the face of adults and children alike. Recensie

Poor comprehensibility isn’t the only issue affecting The Safe House. The script is so contrived that it prevents actors from giving their best. Recensie

This is a very solid movie, with a riveting script, strong performances and gorgeous imagery. Recensie

This is a warm and effective register of youth sentiments under extreme hardship. A conceptual music score blending minimalistic sounds and eerie chanting adds a very gentle artistic touch to the proceedings, without robbing the characters of their individuality and their humanity. Recensie

Sang-soo’s latest movie excels in spontaneity, something the director achieves in every single one of his films. The micro-conflicts are both credible and hilarious, as is the attempt at redemption. Recensie

This is a universal film with a cogent and nimble script made for everyone to appreciate. Recensie

While retaining his anti-cinema aesthetic, Radu Jude turns away from the absurd into the sad and profound. Recensie

Profoundly lyrical and elliptical drama featuring Georges Khabbaz and Hanna Schygulla illustrates the Arab immigration experience in Germany. Recensie

A super camp Ethan Hawke impersonates a famous American lyricist, in Richard Linklater's tedious and esoteric new film. Recensie

The script is extremely well threaded, leaving no loose ends at all. All the small elements have a significance. Recensie

Couple are forced into being honest to each other after their daughter develops telepathic power, in this extremely simple and effective comedy from Germany. Recensie

Maternal pressures cause a therapist to have a meltdown worse than any of her patients, in this very dark and engaging American dramedy. Recensie

Sounds weird? That’s precisely the point. Don’t try to make much sense out of this movie gumbo. Just sit back and enjoy the flavours. With your eyes closed even. Particularly if you are squeamish. Recensie

The director of Montparnasse Bienvenüe crafts a fractured study of a vulnerable young male under the pressure of fatherhood. Recensie

Teen fugitive runs seeks shelter in a film studio, in Lucile Hadžihalilović's ice cold, cryptic and laborious new creation. Recensie

The Blue Trail does not propose a realistic ride into the depths of the Amazon, but instead a peculiar journey into pan-Brazilian fears and obsessions.. Recensie

Michel Franco's new creation, about an illegal Mexican immigrant in the US, is less violent, more mature and rounded than New Order. Recensie

Bong Joon-ho's first film since Parasite is an unapologetically loud and bizarre blend of sci-fi and comedy... Recensie

Overall, this is a film with a solid foundation. On the other hands, this is a familiar construction with little engineering audacity. A functional creation, however lacking a little edge. Recensie

Mother and daughter travel to sunny Spain in order treat inexplicable illness, in Rebecca Lenkiewicz's exquisite debut. Recensie

Intimate portrait of rural China provides viewers a tactile experience of the land, even if the multithreaded plot fails to engage. Recensie

Boasting young performances, Urška Djukić’s debut feature is a heartfelt and convincing endeavour. it just lacks a little stamina and determination, particularly in the final third. Recensie

The imagery is a little experimental, a little creepy, often flirting with video art. One of the biggest problems with Sirens Call is that the film seriously overstays its welcome, with a whopping duration 121 minutes, and a format more akin to an art gallery exhibit. Recensie

Timothée Chalamet steals the scene in James Mangold's irrevocably flat and conventional biopic of Bob Dylan; the outcome is a one-man-show of sorts. Recensie
