Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

You’ll certainly find bracingly funny moments scattered throughout an amusing tale... Review

Not the masterpiece that some supporters are proclaiming but undoubtedly presents something more than most of the rom-coms... Review

Finds his focus on family matters, living from awkward situations and clear-cut observations while adopting a sly pose. Review

A decent farewell from Mr.Wajda... Review

A slow-and-steady, measured pace was deliberately assumed in order to earnestly encompass the least detail in this peculiar and blurry cycle of life and death. Review

Expect a light horror film but a heavy, psychological, dark chamber tale. Review

An arty biopic not to be missed. Review

In all its audacity and insubordination, doesn’t break new ground but didn’t let me down either. Review

An unparalleled Buddhist-Western odyssey that effectively earned my attention during its nearly two and a half hours. Review

The performances by the debutant boy actors, Einarsson and Hinriksson, were driven with an honest, dramatic strength... Review

Bigelow sculpted this drama with vibrant looks and settings... Review

Appealed to me through its quirky storytelling, thrilling scenes, phenomenal camerawork, the clever edition by Lee Smith, and the dazzling visuals... Review

A no-nonsense exercise full of demonstrative close-ups, in which deceitful specters are imagined to ease empty, lost souls. Review

Unusual, uncomfortable, austere, and tragic, this drama film will likely give you the bitterest taste you’ve had this year in the movie theaters. Review

Moderately violent, widely familiar, and boasts a fantastic retro soundtrack that may trigger some nostalgia. Review

Matt Reeves confirms his directorial skills by using a positive, clear, and resonant cinematic voice. Review

Runs at a hurried yet safe speed as it flourishes with a diversified pop/rock soundtrack in the background. Review

Accomplishing the mission with gorgeous visuals, adequate period settings, and nice acting. Review

On top of ineffective, intellectually limited, and emotional parched, the film is way too long, lacking proper tension and fluent narrative. Review

There is hardly any aspect to be learned from this plausible exercise... Review

All about belief and self-discovery. Review

Mr. Fukada keeps us entangled in a web of emotions, revelations, and startles, that pushes his film beyond the surface. Review

This dramatic and satirical action-packed adventure aims at animal exploitation, rapaciousness, media attention, and consumerism with a critical eye. Review

The story proceeds with logic and some emotional bait. Review
