Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

The Comey Rule is a superbly written mini-series that is full of catchy phrases... Review

Sound of Metal’s remarkably sensitive and subtle approach makes it one of the most unique films that touch upon an underrepresented community in the cinematic world. Review

Screenwriter of this moving piece with the fancy title, Hillbilly Elegy, Vanessa Taylor tackles a very complex and not an easy story to write. Review

There are a lot of scenes that are purely disgusting and unwatchable. But because of Maria Bakalova’s stellar performance, you should certainly give it a try to see a one-of-a-kind acting you won’t be able to see otherwise. Review

What The Black Bear does is intelligent and never stops to deliver a deliciously funny and engaging storyline that is filled with puzzles and metaphors. Review

Collective is an impressive real-time documentary film that revolves around the greatest mind of Romania... Review

Everything about The Nest works; whether it’s the writing style, direction, performances, score, or settings, all of these help us get closer to the O`Hara family, their lifestyle, expectations, failures, and the ultimate fall. Review

Saint Frances offers extraordinary storytelling in the most humble way. Review

A refreshing musical... Review

The Life Ahead is a stunningly beautiful Italian drama that gets brighter and shinier with the appearance of Sophia Loren. Review

Let Him Go offers a joyful ride into the modern Western Cinema, with the abovementioned flow but that is minor in comparison to the way the story begins to develop. Review

It’s neither exciting nor interesting. It is just a below-average film with a stellar cast. Review

There is a lot to process in the South Korean drama, A Bedsore. As usual, Korean cinema never disappoints by painting an image of a bleeding family that is ready to blow up in a minute... Review

Passage is an extremely intelligent piece that will make you think. Review

Black Ghost Son does not offer something new, in terms of the concept. What it does though, is open up the wounds of an already known issue and bring up the good out of it. Review

Most court dramas are either predictable or boring, but Sorkin turns his film into an exciting journey filled with funny scenes, thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen and his well-developed character, Abbie Hoffman. Review

Books of Blood is one of the strangest horror films I’ve seen in a while. And that’s a good sign. Review

Red Ladies or Help! My Mom is a Republican is a hilarious short... Review

The Paper Tigers is an exceptionally entertaining film filled with fighting scenes and offers a bit of comedy and drama to shift our moods from time to time... Review

The film offers an exceptionally brave heroine who goes against her fears and uncertainty to pave her way towards happiness and fulfilment. Review

Nuvola is a beautifully shot short film that explores the agony of losing the dearest one, the inability of coping with it, nature, love, and life itself. Review

Curfew is a clever short film that explores one man’s life within a short amount of time and sees whether if he can be saved from himself. Review

The brilliance of the narrative, performance, and the direction of Luigi Pane will make you rewatch it all over again to catch, at least, one flaw which, trust me, this film lacks. Review

Made Public is a wickedly intelligent short film with lines and a narrative that will make you think a lot. Review
