Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

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

Kajillionaire is worth your time not because of the stellar cast but its brilliant concept which, I am sure, you will rate as highly as I did. Review

It is clever, funny at times and informative enough to start doing your own digging. Review

Beckman is another dull action film that you will quickly forget. Review

It’s a beautifully told story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Review

It’s a well-executed documentary that follows an important person who, perhaps, has triggered a crucial path towards imminent action that will be followed by many in saving our common home and our future. Review

The philosophical approach is brilliant and educational. It is deeply moving and sublime. Review

As it touches upon an important subject matter, Good Joe Bell falls short in his attempt. Review

City Hall destroys all the misconception and delivers an astounding experience by having us be a part of the City Hall, its way of functioning, organization, and ensuring that public safety is uncompromised. Review

The Water Man is a surprisingly moving fantasy family drama, that takes the viewer deep into the core of loss and inability of coping with it. Review

It will lead the film’s narrative, telling an incredibly inspiring and sad story at the same time. Review

True Mothers is an outstanding Japanese drama that will engage your entire mind throughout. Review

Notturno, a documentary shot over the past three years along the borders of Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria, and Lebanon, captures the loneliness and hopelessness in people as they hope to see their loved ones released from the ISIS camp. Review

The Barcelona Vampiress is an impressive crime-thriller with elements of horror. It is dark and scary; some scenes are shot beautifully. Review

The Archivists is an uplifting and moving short film about three musicians traveling through a dystopian future who find an old vinyl record with songs in it. Review

The film is so messy and hilarious that, frankly, you won’t even want to take a break from it. Review

The film is interesting as it keeps the suspense till the end. Review
