Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

Cold and soulless: this blend of thriller and dark comedy starring a lethargic Liam Neeson has very little to offer other than the occasional Colorado wintry landscape. Review

Bleak, unoriginal and very violent: how the latest American sci-fi movie produced by James Cameron & co left me mostly numb and cold. Review

Biopic of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a fitting tribute to gender equality, if also a little romanticised. Review

Irish horror about mother convinced that her son isn't her son anymore recycles old suspense tropes, and is effective enough to keep you hooked for 90 minutes. Review

A feelgood tearjerker with an upbeat ending. Review

While the director deserves credit for being respectful and non-exploitative, the film lacks a little ingeniousness and imagination. Review

A powerful historical drama, with excellent performances, photography and an invigorating music score to support the events. Review

This is an important film with its heart at the right place. Review

This not a patchwork of random short films. It all gels together neatly. The films flow nicely, just like the River Thames. Review

It’s never a chore to sit through, but it’s never riveting, either. Review

Acceptable Damage is a very tender and feminine film... Review

If you wish to idolise and celebrate an active judge, why not make a fiction film instead? Review

An exquisite black and white film fusing documentary-making, lyricism and experimentalism. Review

Unfortunately there isn’t much to salvage in Until We Fall, except perhaps for Carlehed’s nuanced performance. Review

A subtle and gentle drama about reconciling personal and religious freedoms. Review

An impeccable piece of filmmaking. It will keep you hooked throughout its relatively long duration of almost two hours. Each and every character has depth, and nothing is redundant. Review

An effective and heartfelt piece, but it also lacks a certain dramatic depth. Review

A film about inexplicable truths, and also about balancing religion and science, faith and rationality. The story that can be interpreted in many ways, and the ending will raise more questions than answers. Review

Documentary investigates the nuts and bolts of Blockchain and Bitcoin, and whether the new technologies could change the way we live... Review

Asandhimitta isn’t witty and elaborate. It’s simply helter-skelter. There a few entertaining moments, but overall it’s incomprehensible and draining to watch. Review

A lyrical, profound and solid piece of filmmaking. The action and the developments are very subtle and slow, while the performances are candid and effective. Review

An auspicious caper. The action is fast-faced enough to keep you hooked during the 96 minutes of duration. Review

The cinematography does a decent job in translating the colours and the textures of Frida’s world to the silver screen, but that’s about the only aspect of Two Fridas that I can commend. Review

Moving in its candor and remarkable in its perceptiveness. Review
