Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

Unexciting, the film was never too deep and as a consequence, I became indifferent along the way. Review

Not every scene works here, yet the unquestionable importance of these women gets the desirable visibility and is not easily forgotten. Review

Corrosively biting, surprisingly human, gloriously hardcore, and extremely liberating. Review

Cleverly conceived and incredibly acted; a compelling examination of painful lives portrayed with a striking sense of truthfulness. Review

An acceptable Hollywood reviving an incredible WWII story and making us understand that courage is much beyond pulling a trigger. Review

Even vulnerable in regard to flow and pace, Scorsese was able to create a minimally decent whole with the uneven parts. Review

Loach’s raw and ultra-realistic approach remains a fundamental weapon to denounce the sicknesses of our world. Review

It’s still a solid and interesting watch. Review

This understated, communicative endeavor is a blast of creativity. Review

Unequivocally interweaves the simplicity of the filmmaking with the complexity of the story. Review

Nicely staged, musically exciting, and technically stainless. Review

Verhoeven has to be congratulated for the cinematic version of this compelling character study... Review

More meditative than rousing, elusively beautiful in its conception, and constructed further beyond artistic superficiality. Review

Fuqua’s modern version of the Sevens, besides lacking humor and a focal point, is too long and stereotyped... Review

Refn gets lost in pretentious trivialities and unintelligent strategies that frustrate more than captivate. Review

Wahlberg and Russell’s performances are part of the thrills, assuring the steadiness that Berg’s approach failed to hit. Fair entertainment is assured, though. Review

Managed to spread some charm while showcasing heartfelt performances. However, it failed to become truly memorable... Review

As darkly funny as genuinely disturbing. Review

Despite all its flaws and one-dimensional characters, “Don’t Breathe” is a nerve-wracking experience. Review

A funny and somewhat eccentric ride onboard of a crazy train heading to a distant paradise called Busan. Review

Plainly uneven and somewhat scattered along the way. Review

Well acted and structured, “Imperium” guarantees the proper tension to capture our senses. Review

A good point here is counterpointing the weight of a politician’s private life versus the valid ideas turned into concrete plans that envision to make people’s lives better. Review

A genuine and articulate statement about human rights, well contextualized in its socio-political perception. Review
