Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

Finally wilfully – however confusingly – blends reality, allegory and hallucination. It’s all very messy, just like Lino’s state of mind. Recensie

Almodovar's first feature film in English is an amusing and enlightening meditation on cancer and suicide, and a lot less melodramatic than his Spanish movies. Recensie

George Clooney and Brad Pitt trade barbs and snide comments, in this entertaining comedy thriller. Recensie

In a career-defining performance, Fernanda Torres (with a helping hand from her mum) establishes Walter Salles's latest film as the ultimate Brazilian dictatorship drama. Recensie

Italian filmmaker and French street artist join forces in order to create an exuberant short film blending urban textures and techniques. Recensie

Jew-hating supremacist is the focus of this trivial American bang-bang with disingenuous political undertones. Recensie

WW1 drama about self-harmers and the Spanish flu is so clumsily staged that it's barely watchable. Recensie

Feuding teens see their paths collide more than once, in this very long and (mostly) accomplished French drama. Recensie

The vicissitudes of love unite, excite and haunt three female friends, in this simple and effective, Truffaut-esque drama. Recensie

Mother of three boys is hellbent on having a daughter, in this profound real-life drama from Italy. Recensie

There is absolutely nothing risqué, audacious or even innovative. Recensie

John Lennon and Yoko Ono become American conveyors of change during the early 1970s, in this superbly assembled documentary. Recensie

The artistic choice to remain entirely observational compromises the film’s ability to educate an d energise the international community. Instead, the documentary feels like a lonely lament, a scream in the dark following the tragic realisation that democracy is but a short-lived dream. Recensie

Despite a hypnotic performance by deliciously insane and deviant Biscayart, a few good tunes and dance acts, Kill The Jockey isn’t a masterpiece. Recensie

Angelina Jolie and Maria Callas engage in a fierce battle for the spotlight, in Pablo Larrain's uneven biopic of the tragic diva. Recensie

Errol Morris's doc about Trump's family separation policy focuses on the self-proclaimed saviours, while never hearing the countless victims. Recensie

Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder star in Tim Burton's colourful and disjointed sequel to 1988's Beetlejuice. Recensie

The director of extraordinary religion drama Apostasy returns with a completely different film: an English folk horror that's visually exuberant and yet fails to engage and scare. Recensie

Ordinary people behave badly, in this collection of mostly cold and banal short stories. Recensie

This is an effective, high-octane absurdist comedy that would have benefitted from a longer runtime. Recensie

A jarring, minimalistic score helps to sustain a sense of tension and imprisonment throughout the entire 21 minutes of this short film. Recensie

Very sad disease kills plantation labourers in Africa, in this extremely sombre allegory of Portuguese colonialism. Recensie

A story infused with tenderness and optimism, and wrapping up with a small yet potent gesture of emancipation. A movie worth giving a chance! Recensie

Two young Moroccans experience homosexual love and prostitution, in this delicate tale of oppression and liberation. Recensie
