Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

It Is Not Over is an absolutely beautiful film you certainly must check out. It is sad and funny but never boring. Review

Jennifer Redfearn delivers an honest portrayal of three incarcerated women‘s life story in the most nuanced way. It’s touching, uplifting and even inspiring. Review

Dying to Divorce is a hard documentary to watch. But what depicts the true reality of women suffering or just a human being cannot be considered as joy or fun. Review

The informative yet heartbreaking narrative of Generation Utøya reminds us of the importance of youth education, being open-minded and less judgemental towards those we do not consider our own. Review

The film is far from being great. But it’s informative, which is what matters the most. Though it’s an influential subject matter, the film leaves little room for imagination, which should have been the other way around. But if you keep an open mind, allow the documentary subjects to tell their side of the story, it becomes a much easier piece to watch. Review

The documentary itself is so entertaining you won’t find yourself bored. It has so much interesting detailed information you will probably be busy taking notes every time Mau has something important to say. Review

Grey Roads is an interesting documentary that will trigger your interest in it as soon as it starts. It’s educational, intelligent and engaging. Review

The most fascinating part of the film is its ability to draw the line between the importance of science and its effects on the future of memory and digital livelihood, how a human android expresses itself. Review

Absolutely dramatic, Sotorra’s film takes a bold approach on a very sensitive subject matter to paint these women that are being considered as traitors as victims of circumstance. Review

It has its story well-shaped, creates an atmospheric environment, lets the actors play their part and allows the story to unfold at its own pace. Review

Moffie is a beautifully shot period drama that offers everything for you to enjoy it except for comedic scenes, understandably, with the subject matter it had no room for entertainment. Review

Ricky Staub recreates a heartwarming and a feel-good atmosphere despite some violence and drug use scenes to give the audience some hope. Review

The Criminals perfectly exemplifies a conservative society and the freedom it has when it comes to punishing those who, they believe, are trying to fornicate. Review

It’s about a daughter-mother relationship too, how it evolved over the day and its epic culmination, in which, you will be simply happy for both achieving the successful result as a team. Review

Bantú Mama is a beautiful tale of friendship that teaches children and adult the importance of being co-dependent or being in charge of something bigger than yourself. Review

Executive Order is an exceptional film with an intelligent concept that will make you think. Review

The film is not long either; with 68 minutes of runtime, it manages to tell everything we need to know about Hayden, Amarillo and its future. Review

Ludi is an exceptional film that showcases the life of an immigrant in America. It captures the difficulty of living the American dream. Review

His wonderfully narrated short, in a perfect way, exemplifies what it means when you mess with something that has nothing to lose. Review

The film wisely uses the heart-aching concern of immigrants and intolerance of Americans towards outsiders. Review

The Other Morgan is a clever comedy that provides food for thought. A bit philosophical, it teaches the importance of not underestimating our life because what is seen as a failure for us can be a big success for others. Review

Offseason is an atmospheric horror film with an impressive taste. From start to end, it is a fast-paced narrative that, without the talented cast, would be much harder to pull off. Review

Sasquatch reminds us once again why investigative journalism is important in uncovering the dark truth of monsters that don’t just live in the woods but rather live among us, own pretty houses, all dressed up pretending to be nice. Review

The End of Us is a pleasant comedy-drama that explores a dramatic relationship during COVID between exes. Review
