Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

Deserves an extra point for the ability to eke out unexpected laughs from the most painful scenarios. Review

By expeditiously capturing the moods of the city, he passes the idea of an undermined society within an undisciplined country. Review

The compelling narrative matches the plausible scenario and the actors remain sober in their roles. Review

An unconfined, honest, and totally fun experience whose novelty turns it more appetizing than any of the other Marvel installments. Review

Enjoy both the dark humor and the uncanny vibes of a tortuous Hungarian romance marked by strong dualities... Review

Oscillating with ups and downs, this moody, felinely romantic film has not much to show off besides its bizarreness... Review

A touching tribute to real-life heroes and its excruciating conclusion stubbornly remains in our heads for a long time after the final credits roll. Review

The spontaneous duo gives wings to creativity... Review

Imperfect characters actually build a nearly perfect chamber film, equal parts poetic and obscure. Review

A film of misconceptions based upon choices, behaviors, and romantic frustrations. In the end, it leaves us stiffly cold and utterly disappointed. Review

By dabbling in hazy mirror games and cheap, artificial glamour, Ozon squanders the chance of presenting something consistent... Review

Although far from being a reference in the kidnapping thriller genre, the dramatic side gets into your skin. Review

You will find plenty of human warmth in this odd spiritual journey that is also Stanton’s memorable final work. Review

Even when we get lost in poetic detail or even momentarily immersed in condescending dialogue, we feel encouraged by Spence and Pinnick’s sweet performances. Review

Having envisioned a comedy packed with dramatic force, Payne stumbles heavily in a faulty script, adding a few clichés and unimaginative formulas... Review

Weinstein’s ability to notch up the dramatic side of the story without bringing manipulative tricks into play is praiseworthy. Review

A film that pushes boundaries by infusing lifelike sequences occasionally peppered with surreal allure. Review

Better in the message than in the art of entertaining, this conspiracy disentanglement is pure respect for freedom and an ode to righteousness. Review

With Del Toro at his finest, expect to be jaw-dropped with the magnificence of the visuals. Let yourself be hastened into this unforgettable water slide ride. Review

This tale of retaliation, redemption, and forgiveness, besides constantly spellbinding, has many important things to say. Review

Dream and reality mix to take us on a voyage that doesn’t add absolutely anything to what we are, think, or feel about nature and our existence. Review

Effortlessly gliding between pungent drama and theatrical satire, this is an inspired, fast-paced chamber piece that ends gloriously staggering. Review

Gets terribly melodramatic as the story proceeds and brutally stagey by the end. Review

Is, in truth, a polished war film where the action is purely wordy. And it worked! Review
