Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Assassination Nation is the most unsettling piece to watch, but the most important one as well. Review

Roma is not only a visually stunning film, it is a real and honest portrayal of a semi-biographical film based on Cuarón’s childhood experience. Review

Both Ally and Jack are an incredible couple who we all should root for. But unfortunately, both were missing a heartbeat, and without that, no life exists. Review

Ben is Back brilliantly captures the bond between a mother and son, but also the bond between drugs and its user. Review

Husband Material is absolutely charming, if not a cute, romantic comedy with lots of music and non-stop dance. Review

Woman at War is a complete joy to watch. It’s wicked, hilarious, sad and very uplifting at the same time. Review

High Life is a highly intelligent movie that creates its own space and zone only specific viewers are allowed to enter. Review

A brilliant and stunning performance delivered by Natalie Portman... Review

Despite beautiful colors, a mind-blowing scenery and the visually stunning photography, it’s not the place any of us would like to end up in. Every single scene is pure masterpiece. Review

The tour-de-force performance delivered by Elisabeth Moss is stunning. Every single scene she appears in is pure joy to watch. Review

Thanks to Sarah Gadon’s confident performance, you will be getting a complete, and unquestionably, the best human characteristic you may get in one single individual, who knows very well what needs to be done to get away from a nightmarish night, safe and sound. Review

A genuine, deeply moving movie about the hypocrisy in politics, how fake news can manipulate people’s opinion yet how generosity and human kindness still prevails over evil. Review

An eye-opening and thought-provoking piece that we all must think about. Review

Cut, in many ways from the same cloth as its predecessor, Sunset takes a highly personal and distinctive look at another period in his country’s history. Review

Boy Erased is a deeply moving family drama where sexuality, confrontation of fears, religion, ideology and what is right and wrong will form one big circle. Review

Cold War is an absolutely charming piece that explores the theme of passionate love between two individuals whose feelings for each other will have to circumvent the shattering war, communism, geographical distance, and of course years of time as well. Review

Hotel Mumbai is brilliantly executed and filled with emotionally powerful performances that will leave the entire audience stunned to the core. Review

Led by the absolutely powerful and award deserving performance by Zain Al Rafeea, the film begins exploring Zain’s struggle through his eyes. Review

The Rainbow Experiment gives a spectacular view of the event that was meant to go wrong even before its start. This is a smart story with a brilliant reflection of our painfully sickening society. Review

El Angel is another decent film that makes a successful attempt to fictionalize true events. The director does an amazing job in presenting Carlo Puch in a dark light in a charismatic way. Review

It follows the small tribe called Wayuu, their ups and mainly downs, when one small decision to sell weed, aka, marijuana turns into bloodshed, revenge and death of everyone who was directly or indirectly involved in it. Review

Splinters is a solid family drama about feelings, fears, good or bad, and more importantly what is best for one individual. 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, I am sure, whether you’re up for comedies or drama, suicide, depression, anxiety or just family matters, you will never find yourself bored throughout... Review

Apart from a well-written screenplay or directorial approach, the film delivers outstanding action scenes. Review
