Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

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

The drama is filled with raw emotions and evinces an incredible honesty in terms of storytelling. Review

Extremely absorbing, mostly because of the strange acting rapport between Vinaite and the young Prince... Review

While the soundtrack is awesome, all the moody characters are unenchanting and some of them even useless. Review

He takes his directorial career to a higher peak, delivering the weirdest and perhaps the funniest comedy of 2017. Review

Making a feel-good movie from a tragedy is no easy-to-do task, and Linklater only partially succeeds in that challenging endeavor. Review

Better the subject matter than the technical aspects. Review

This funny, tender, and brilliant film, thriving with witty observations and touching conclusions, is undoubtedly at the very top of my 2017 best list. Review

Simply didn’t work for me. Review

It felt like I was in a video game without being able to control it. Review

The scintillating Elie Harboe, delivering a standout performance, gives you another good reason to see this movie. Review

Provocative, transgressive, and predominantly off-the-wall... Review

If you're looking for pitch-dark tales packed with wickedness, cruelty, and crime, this one can make your day. Review

Even with promising pouches of intrigue and an interesting, atypical character, we don’t get a full delivery of that promise. Review

Perfectly good to watch, demonstrating a genuine keenness to amuse. Review

Green sustains sufficient levels of honesty throughout to make us follow our hero with interest until the final credits start to roll. Review

A dead-on satire enhanced with eccentric musical interludes... Review

The tension is unstoppable and the film has no dead moments or delays in its well-planned course of events. Review

Part social commentary, part character study, is not a pleasurable watch, holding a tighter grip in its first half, but failing to surprise in the debilitating second. Review

We’re only left with the interesting biblical connotations of a tale that could have been more attractive... Review

An effective blend of emotional depth and rigorous craft. Review

Not a masterpiece but rather a solid, well-mounted film supported by a plausible story that raises moral questions. Review

Shines with fantastic performances by Gosling, Hoeks, and Ford, and also impresses on the visual side... Review
