Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

Spirited and engaging doc turns the dark depths of the sea into an enlightening lesson on humanity. Recensie

Young Americans fight against climate change displacement, is this slow, quiet and sobering documentary. Recensie

Two Irish people are destined to meet, in this star-studded, boring and lame romance. Recensie

Danish documentarist captures the fires that castigated and scarred Galicia; the outcome is bewitching, if barely cognitive. Recensie

The good script is supported by mostly effective actors, with the occasional stagey interaction. Recensie

The stories complement each other with perfection, and without didacticism. Recensie

The Disappearance of Josef Mengele paints an evocative picture of heartfelt and sincere depravity. Recensie

All in all, a good film that could have done with a little trimming, toning-down and maybe turning down the volume. Recensie

Garcia delivers a quietly devastating performance. Recensie

Bi Gan's tribute to cinema is a self-indulgent potboiler; it thinks that the seventh art should rely almost exclusively on studio antics. Recensie

Morality issues aside, Woman and Child is not particularly original. Recensie

This is a warm little film asking some fiery big questions about the nature of cinema and the human heart. At times little protracted and prosaic, but still well worth the ride. Recensie

The narrative arc is just too flat. There is no build-up. Recensie

Golino’s mature performance is Fuori‘s greatest asset. The actress has the sad eyes of Charlotte Rampling, and the eloquence of Sandra Hueller. Recensie

Police officer employs extreme intimidation tactics at work and also at home, in this honest, funny and enlightening drama from Cameroon. Recensie

Expect a conventional crime thriller with watered down political tones, and little to say about Egyptian politics and culture. Recensie

It Was Just an Accident is a serious and profound film lightened up by small moments of comic relief. Recensie

Deadly virus turns people into marble, in Julia Ducournau's stone-cold parable of love and abandonment. Recensie

The outcome is partly convincing. While the acting is spontaneous enough, the interactions lack chemistry, and the unimaginative cinematography fails the capture the spirit of the community. Recensie

Kleber Medonca Filho's crime drama about a dignified researcher on the run pays tribute to the films and the cinemas of yore, while also celebrating the director's native Recife, in Northeastern Brazil. Recensie

Japanese blend of murder mystery and child imagination allegory is cryptic and bizarre, dogged by elementary cinematography and wooden acting. Recensie

Peck’s new film, much like its predecessors, is a proudly hyperpolitical documentary. Bold, innovative and inspiring filmmaking. Recensie

Sebastian Lelio's feminist musical is so didactic, literalistic and clumsily executed that it's truly painful to watch. Recensie
