Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

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

It’s a gut-wrenching experience as you watch this important documentary that uncovers the corruption in the American pharmaceutical industry that makes money off of people’s addiction. Review

Structurally engaging and, at times, entertaining, the film is a difficult journey to make. Review

But be ready, because White Fortress has a big surprise which you will be quite amused with but in a good way. Review

The beauty of it is that you connect with all of them. You will feel and care for each one of them. Review

The Bin perhaps is far from being great. But I don’t believe it pretends to be that either. Review

Filled with fascinating archival footages, exceptional direction and the right approach, Stephen DeBro’s documentary is like a requiem for a dream you don’t want to wake up from. Review

It’s almost like a lost neverland where you try to make sense of the things that literally make no sense. Review

It has the hope we need to see; it’s, at times, a feel-good story that allows immigrants, especially, to believe in self-realization and the endless opportunities the land of the free can bring. Review

My Salinger Year is a surprisingly easy-going and inspiring drama with a genuine heart. Review

The intelligence of the film is on a whole another level. Only fully prepared can you dive into the ocean of misery, truth, rage and anger. Review

It is an upsetting story of a man who can’t reveal himself to the fullest and must remain in the closet. Amit and Nadav’s dynamic is provocative but solidly delivered by Ben-Oved Berkovich and Harel Glazer. I... Review

Filled with stellar performances from Aleksas Kazanavicius, Dainius Gavenonis and Severija Janusauskaite as the loving and supportive wife to Andrius, the film is a painful reminder to all of us – no one can escape the past. Review

While it’s far from being perfect, it’s a fine portrayal of the image of street culture, money-driven environment, race and class, and what it may bring as a result, if misused. Review

The brilliance of the film is in its striking concept that is one of the most intelligent I have seen in a while. Review

Post Office is a thought-provoking short narrative... Review
