Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

Austrian movie with taste of Haneke and Polanski has all the ingredients of a good suspense. Review

Canadian LGBT romance is mostly predictable, but it also caters effectively for a very specialised audience... Review

Firth does a good job is his delivery of the inept sailor and troubled male. But nothing beyond that. Review

The mundane and arduous existence of a charcoal-maker in Congo is the subject of fascinating and exquisitely beautiful documentary... Review

A little zombie, a little vampire, a little alien and extremely Japanese... Review

Psychedelic slasher is bleeding colours and infectious with explosive sounds, adhering to all rules of the genre and blending quite a few references... Review

Sweet, engrossing and utterly British: stop frame animation about passion for football is fun and universal enough for anyone to watch... Review

Sadly the anti-war message eventually gets a little diluted in nationalism... Review

Provides a fascinating peek into the lives of the then president and his associates; sadly the film also lacks a little balance... Review

A very moving and yet subtle piece of filmmaking. Review

A very effective multi-threaded script navigates the various dilemmas that a perfectly likable American dad experiences inside in his head... Review

Fascinating doc about charismatic artist... Review

It’s difficult to come across such level of sexual frankness in British cinema... Review

Exudes charm, nostalgia, swagger and, dare I say, sensuality, plus it's one of the best films you will see this year... Review

A study of human degradation with a twist of hope in the end. Review

Has a universal topic, but lacks a certain dramatic fizz... Review

Takes looks at the shoking plight of refugees in various corners of the planet, in a heartbreaking 140-minute journey... Review

Insightful - if highly biased - documentary into the heart of EU security and immigration policy... Review

This dirty tale of despondency and complicity sends an urgent warning and a subtle message of hope... Review

Movie about teen juggling his homosexual inclinations against a heteronormative circle of friends in Brooklyn is both moving and gently disturbing... Review

A dirtylicious, transgressive and futuristic post-porn art piece. Review

This re-imagining of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream set in Barbados is sadly very poorly-crafted and amateurish... Review

Biopic of Italo-Egyptian chanteuse is filled with passionate music, untimely deaths and unfathomable pain... Review

George Clooney's satire of suburban "Little America" has quite a few problems, but it's still conveys a fitting message of tolerance plus it's mostly enjoyable to watch. Review
