Filmrecensies van Filipe Freitas

Oprah and Oyelowo were never convincing, in opposition to Whitaker who played the butler with assurance and plainness. Recensie

Miller’s goodbye is fair enough to worth a look. Recensie

The states of mind change a lot along the story; funny arguments, wild and raging violence, brooding despair, frustration, joy, and ultimately an outstanding finale, make Scenic Route a hell of a ride! Now imagine all that, ironically presented beyond the limits of insanity. Recensie

Temple’s great performance convinced me of her character’s madness but didn’t absolve Silva from an obtuse plot that didn’t even know what to do with its ending. Magic Magic is a totally expendable thriller that lacks nerve. Recensie

Every single character in this film can aspire to be super-something, but Kick-Ass 2 is assuredly miles and miles away from being a super-movie. No more sequels of this crap... please!! Recensie

The performances are one of its strong features, and counted with the guest appearance of Jane Birkin. Recensie

Meteora is a rewarding and incisive film about desire, sin, faith, and human conscience, which comes strongly recommended. Recensie

Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard’s performances were positive but incapable to save this film from being an ordinary biopic. Recensie

The insipid and messy plot, presented very few believable aspects, and the movie loses itself in uninteresting shootings and tawdry situations. Recensie

The Iceman is watchable and occasionally gripping, but not so accurate in its story. Recensie

The colors, soundtrack, and camera work, created a stifling background in tones of noir, filled with merciless violence and fulminant moves. Never bland or uninteresting, Elysium is not totally unexpected but guaranteed my attention from start to finish. Recensie

My advise here is: if you are an enthusiast of romantic films, go for it; otherwise don’t bother because “Drinking Buddies” is just another film that doesn’t stand out in any particular aspect. Recensie

Don’t be discouraged, since Museum Hours has so much to offer in an unpretentious way, that this trip to Vienna comes very much recommended. Recensie

Kenji Ushida's third feature film may bring him back the deserved international attention that he once had in 2005 with A Stranger Of Mine. Recensie

With consistent performances and a competent direction, Prince Avalanche will probably work fine for those who are watching this simple story for the first time. Recensie

Lying or not lying, the result was always cruelty, and in the end, even I felt ready to confess anything in order to stop witnessing those distressing and fatiguing atrocities. Recensie

Nonetheless, these aspects didn't remove its effectiveness in denouncing the extreme nationalism in Turkey and the cynicism involved in one of the most barbarian genocides in the history of mankind. Recensie

If Smashed showed some signs of Ponsoldt’s cleverness and accuracy behind the cameras, The Spectacular Now stepped up one level, foreseeing a bright future for this young talented filmmaker. Recensie

Its beautiful ending, along with natural and convincing performances, helped In The Family to stand out as a humanist, realistic, and unaggressive tale about a good man that was forced to go against a family that he considered his own. Recensie

Its disenchantment along with tensionless resolutions proved that Neil Jordan and his vampires already had better days. Recensie

Jug Face was simply a somewhat bizarre film, which was not so gripping after all. Recensie

The performances were simply superb, leading Dequenne to win the Un Certain Regard Award for best actress at Cannes, while Lafosse showed to be a filmmaker with exceptional maturity, presenting us another extraordinary accomplishment in his career. Recensie

The grave silences and revelatory looks speak for themselves, and the film runs patiently towards its freeing ending. Penetrating and uncomfortable, Shell is an outstanding film that shall not be ignored. Recensie

In soft pale colors, and frequent close-ups, here is another perspective of Philippines’ tough reality, leaving us with the essential question posed by the nuns: why God wants us to go through all this? Recensie
