Filmrecensies van Filipe Freitas

You can waste your time with The Dictator if you’re a big fan of this type of comedies but I would not recommend it. Recensie

Self-taught director Richard Linklater, has a strong return with a movie that doesn’t discard a smart and morbid humor merged with the seriousness of a brutal crime. Recensie

If you like intelligent movies with elaborated speech, a philosophy behind it and very close to reality, this is one not to miss. A gem of modern cinema with slight touches of classic. Recensie

The movie introduces some fresh ideas wrapped in funny moments. Good for having some good laughs in a relaxed environment. Recensie

Smart and sharp movie, with wonderful performances by all actors and a confident direction, Play happens to be a notable critical look to a specific problem and to society itself... Recensie

The hero is Mathew Goode, who has an effervescent performance. Sufficient solidness. Recensie

A kind of "indie" documentary, Girl Model makes its point regarding the business of model agencies throughout the world. Recensie

The plot seemed promising at the beginning but never went further than that. Lacking passion, little by little becomes tedious until we feel completely indifferent to what might happen to its characters. Recensie

It gives an insight look at an Australian bourgeois’ family extending its criticism to the society itself. Mature cinema. Recensie

Very entertaining, there are so many things going on here, in this funny and anarchic musical comedy. Recensie

Nothing much here to dig out, except a great performance by Demián Bichir... Recensie

This is nothing more than a forgettable pseudo-thriller. Recensie

Bleak, with strong content, this is another movie to take into account in the very solid career of a remarkable director. Recensie

Definitely not for everyone, the contemplative way of filming and acting may please the fans of the realistic genre but it will be labeled as boring by the ones looking for excitement. Give it a shot. Recensie

The narrative is quite absorbing and its spooky atmosphere result in one of the most satisfying horror movies recently released. Recensie

Certainly this is not the most original movie but encloses every ingredient to be successful - the drama isn’t cheesy; the humor is subtle but efficient; and the action is wild and exciting. Recensie

The problem was maintaining the narrative levels throughout the story. An honest movie denoting some rhythm oscillations. Recensie

It is very hard to watch all this destruction without being affected and for most of the time this is what the movie has to show. Fortunately, the ending bestows signs of hope for the future in some very touching image sequences. Recensie

Magnificently directed with a lyrical style and with many answers to be sought. Recensie

Trishna despite of showing the recurrent realistic approach, wasn’t so sparkling. Some inert moments end up in a final almost amateur-style. The images from India were what moved me most in this film. Recensie

Altiplano delivers artsy images within a well-intentioned story but its approach isn't always totally satisfying. Despite of some narrative issues and the evident eagerness to be art-house, it still worth for its exceptional landscapes and mystic creeds. Recensie

This is a confrontation between French and American cultures that doesn’t take us anywhere. Recensie

I tried to look for some message here, but there isn’t any. A vulnerable plot stuffed with rubbish talk. Recensie

The movie successfully shows the difficulty to separate such stressful work situations from private lives. A tense movie, relying on natural acting and unfolding harsh conclusions. Recensie
