Filmrecensies van Filipe Freitas

Even if this movie has been inspired by true events, its story is absurdly foolish. Recensie

Although visually impressive, it didn’t show the brain or the accuracy of his predecessors. Recensie

The weakness here is the plot, which is not so rich or appealing as in some earlier works. Lovers of the genre will be pleased with the action's effects, while the others can just take a look to pass some time. Recensie

This completely loose version of the German tale, made popular by the Grimm brothers, was not so bad after all and even without making wonders, was able to provide some amusement. Recensie

Dance and music are present too but are unable to save the movie from superficiality and inconsequent jokes. Recensie

If you have the patience, you’ll find something worthwhile to absorb and reflect about. Recensie

This is a surreal story that works intermittently. Ricardo Darin is the true soul of this movie and without his performance I doubt if this story would succeed. Recensie

Sleep Tight is not a perfect movie but as a thriller, it gathers the essential material to continue pleasing the fans. Recensie

The story is a multi-cultural mess that only sticks with you for the worst reasons and the camera work didn't catch the eye. Recensie

Every single performance was crucial to attain a honorable result. Not to be missed. Recensie

A movie with high aspirations, albeit being unable to deliver anything worthwhile. The acting wasn’t strong and the movie simply couldn’t be funny, or deep, or dramatic…A failure. Recensie

The sturdy direction by Soderbergh and a thorough performance by Matthew McConaughey made this one a movie to consider. Recensie

The second feature film from Vincent Garenq is well worth, with solid acting and a juicy story. Recensie

Sometimes it can become a bit confusing, especially if we are not familiarized with the Shanghai’s history, but Zhang Ke had the wit to fascinate us with superbly composed frames of desolated and abandoned landscapes... Recensie

The story takes time to evolve but was able to catch our attention, aided by a musical score that served well its purposes. The main drawback was the excessive fashionable images that overlaps all the rest, creating some kind of artificial aesthetic. Recensie

The characterization of Mr.Nobbs (Glenn Colse) was good, while the one from the painter Hubert Page (Janet McTeer) didn't convince me. Not powerful enough. Recensie

The father-son relationship was very well conceived and Hugo Weaving’s performance, alternating between tenderness and bursts of anger, deserved more than a few nominations for best leading role. Recensie

Maintaining a certain ambiguity and the tension levels at top from start to end, it also revealed to have a great direction and musical score behind the story. Aberrant and creepy! Recensie

With a lot of dialog over almost 2 hours, The Minister is what it is, and doesn’t really want to show anything more than a man’s obsessed dedication to his image and career. It just has a peculiar and engaging way to show it. Recensie

Although provocative enough, it suffers from the usual use and abuse of repetitive beatings and violence that leaves you out of breath. Recensie

The beauty of the story didn’t spare us from a sensation of discontentment due to various reasons. Recensie

A combination of war and supernatural, results in a very dark ambiance. The acting, directing and beautiful photography are very positive. On the other hand I found the plot a bit messy and unstable, frequently making us miss its intentions with some deliberate ambiguity. Recensie

The content is rich and we can glimpse anger, anguish, loss, opportunism, forgiveness and search for sexual identity in a quiet but incisive film. Recensie

A powerful human story with a huge meaningful message is something to praise. Recensie
