Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

How the Spanish recycled horror clichés and the role of the vulnerable female to hair-raising results. Review

A politically relevant and engrossing film. Review

It will make you feel uncomfortable, squeamish and spiritually empty – and it could ultimately break you. Review

The acting is profound and poignant... Review

Filho explores the dull urban cacophony that ties together middle-class neighbours in the Brazilian city of Recife - to outstanding results. Review

A very formal and conservative movie, with little innovation and subversive devices. Review

Impressive German gangster-'bromance' movie explores the underground of ethnic diversity and immigration in Germany... Review

A touching tale of a quickly vanishing culture and the predicament of of those caught in these turbulent changes. Review

A more mature Michael Moore presents his best film to date... Review

Feels like a romantic and foolish endeavour confined to a somewhat distant past and to a remote country. Review

A film about much-needed reconciliation. Review

Chinese masterpiece wows Berlin and reveals: the rushed modernisation of China can be elegantly dirty and oddly fascinating. Review

A highly sanitised and romanticised movie fails to celebrate the real story of a Berlin couple who resisted their oppressive regime. Review

André Téchiné again touches the wounds of French society in a complex and moving film about sexuality and social integration. Review

Examines a very controversial theme in minute detail, with good performances, a solid and plausible script, if at times a little didactic. Review

An epic Maori tale of love and oppression. Review

A downcast and passive Isabelle Huppert is a philosophy teacher unable to act out her teachings, in a beautiful reflection on intellectual futility. Review

A very real, intimate and riveting love story... Review

A eulogy of love and the difficult decisions that an immigrant has to make. Review

A heady mixture of artistic, sexual freedom and anarchy... Review

A twisted tale of sexual depravity and religious absurdity... Review
