Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Respect is a well-executed biopic with some questions left unanswered. But all that seems to be intentional, or just being politically correct. Review

Raw, funny and imaginative, Hayop Ka! is an adult animated film made with taste. It is stylish and funny, smart and silly at the same time. Review

Sweetie, You Won’t Believe It is the right title that can be easily addressed to the audience. Literally right from start, it just gets funnier and funnier. Review

Baby Money is a decent and well-filmed crime thriller with an element of drama. Review

Most certainly, the narrative nor the subject matter is new, however, you can’t take the fact that Jolt is as entertaining as it could get. Review

Old is a decent and much-needed film to see this year. It provides an interesting perspective on life within a short amount of time, whether you want it or not, you will think about it. Review

Last Letter from Your over is another decent romantic drama that will remind you a bit of An affair to Remember and The Notebook. Review

Malcolm D. Lee’s film has many issues, whether it’s the direction or holes in the storyline. However, as soon as you see the mix of hand-drawn animated characters and 3D CGI effects, the film turns into a pleasant ride, whether some of us agree or not, becomes an undeniable fact. Review

Fear Street Part One – 1994 may have lots of issues with the plot, especially in the beginning. It still offers guilty pleasure as you watch it. Good direction, solid acting and a suitable soundtrack make the film watchable and enjoyable at the same time. Review

It works perfectly from start to end and never forgets to take it easy, make us laugh, and sometimes be sad at the same time. Review

The Boss Baby: Family Business is a great animated film that delivers plenty of action scenes, the reunification of beloved characters from the first part, funny situations, a bit of drama and, of course, love, which the film is truly filled with. Review

Wrath of Man is a fashionable old-style action crime thriller you did not know Hollywood was still capable of making. Review

It takes on a much subtle subject – the danger of competition and what it can do to someone who does not know how to slow down, take a breath, recalculate and change the approach. Review

It’s gruesome, gritty and a horrifying film to see. However, it has an interesting approach that should be on your radar. Review

See For Me is an interesting gem coming from Canada. With a familiar setting and predictable plot, the film still manages to captivate the viewers. Review

The Price of Freedom is one of those documentaries that won’t offer you an easy walk. It’s a harsh pill to swallow. Review

What is more interesting is that within just ten minutes it unfolds an issue present on a global scale, while thoroughly explaining a poisonous relationship two can put each other into. Review

The Phantom is a brilliant documentary film that cleverly unveils the faults of the justice system in America and how it considers defendants such as Carlos De Luna as disposable. Review

A decent horror film that tries to respect its viewers’ feeling by not going too deep into the faith, its origin or questioning its existence altogether. Review

Cruella is a beautiful piece of art that is worthwhile watching as many times as your heart desire. Review

But the beauty of this story, no matter how sad and tragic it is, is the possibility of what if all this was just an odd and bizarre coincidence? What if nobody killed anybody? There was no conspiracy, absolutely nothing? Review

The film does not fail to paint the deep feeling of grief, immense pain, and what happens when we begin to judge instead of cherishing. Review

Leaving Hitchcock’s Rear Window aside and not treating Wright’s film as a retouched version, then it’s quite a decent psychological thriller with a complex concept that would be challenging for any filmmaker to adapt onto the small or big screen. Review

School of Hope, by director Mohamed El Aboudi, is a hopeful documentary that portrays the need for education, the importance of gaining knowledge and adapting that knowledge in real life. Review
