Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Messiah is a type of show that will keep you guessing all the way till the end. Review

Kingsway is an unconventional film about big issues and takes little steps at a time to draw an interesting image that turns into such a wonderfully narrated piece... Review

Gemini Man is not as bad as ratings suggest. Indeed, it has some gaps in the story but so do many others. But as a whole, it is quite entertaining, engaging, and somewhat intriguing. Review

It’s a heartfelt story that shows that no matter what we are inside or outside, it can be changed with a little push. Review

Just Mercy lacks fresh blood. There’s something about it that will make you feel indifferent, which should have been the other way around. Review

It's a perfect Christmas movie filled with much love, heart and caring, in every single scene of Seaton's film, which makes it one of the greatest Christmas films ever made and truly stands the test of time. Review

The Santa Clause is one of the most family-friendly movies you will ever find. It’s funny but not too much; it has a bit of drama, but does not overload you at all; it is a simple and carefully directed film that delivers the much needed holiday mood even though you may watch it in the middle of summer. Review

It’s a generous and carefully crafted musical that does not need to be a cliché to be accepted by the majority. It simply does not work that way and it would not. Review

Whether it’s the lines, performances, or its concept, everything about it matches its title. It’s smart, elegant, important and must be seen by everyone whether you’re a Fox News supporter or not. Review

A director of Bay’s caliber could have done much better than this, far better… Review

It’s family-oriented, avoids coarse language, is well-intentioned and sublime in its own way. It may not be clever enough, but there is nothing to worry about it as it offers an excellent opportunity to escape the lonely evening or noisy streets by entering into the world of Aldovia, which gets bigger and better with every touch. Review

In Fabric is a solid horror drama that does what intended to. It avoids all the gruesome scenes, letting its characters tell their own story. The storyline is delicate and impressive. Review

Little Women is a poignant and deeply moving film that’s like a sharp arrow – flies to reach its target, the audience’s hearts. Filled with honest emotions and sincerity, words can’t truly describe the importance of a film such as this. Review

Fred Durst’s The Fanatic may not be an excellent work of art but it certainly deserves your attention. It takes you straight to Hollywood where the battle between a fan and an actor is about to begin. Review

Fractured is too far from being perfect, but not as boring as you may think. It has good intentions and clear agenda and never misses it. Review

It could have been much better than it was. It owns some cute scenes but those scenes can’t be the only highlight of an entire movie that really had nothing special to offer. Review

It has the astounding cast, a well-executed agenda, and an aim which Dark Fate never misses – not even once. Review

Midway is more like a cinematic documentary. It leaves the cheesy part aside to have its full concentration on what makes war a war. Review

Superb performances from the entire cast, direction, and screenwriting will certainly put the film on top of the pedestal that will be difficult to beat by any incoming gangster film. Review

While I am trying to be extra careful with my review of Paul Feig’s film, I must admit, it was a surprisingly charming and heartwarming experience. Review

Directed by Kasi Lemmons, the film is not without flaws. Certain scenes felt staged and unrealistic. But due to the believable performances delivered by the entire cast, especially Cynthia Erivo, all the gaps and faults disappear very quickly. Review

Greener Grass is one of the most deserving indie films that should not have a hard time with the audience. It is a well-executed comedy that revolves around particular people who are not even aware of their own state of mind or how ridiculous they are. Review

The Sky is Pink is a deeply moving film that carries a universal message. Review

The Wolf Hour is a slow paced psychological thriller with an exceptionally written character that allows Naomi Watts to shine throughout. Review
