Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Listening to his philosophical approach for all his unconditional support of the ocean, one thing though he says is what we should never forget if one of us at some point decides to assassinate the ocean, “If the ocean dies we all die. We don’t live on a planet with the dead ocean.”... Review

Wild Rose is a solid drama about how to deal with dreams, sacrifice, and motherhood. A great performance delivered by Jessie Buckley, Harper’s film is safe to say – can land in your heart with no doubt whether you like country music or not. Review

Ask Dr. Ruth is a charming and funny film about an outstanding woman who must be served as an example to all of us. Review

The interpretation of the characters they portrayed, the depth of them is golden. Review

Ponyboi is an excellent short film filled with River Gallo’s terrific performance. Review

It creates a solid balance between the society and people, heartbreak and redemption, while the mood of the film never relaxes, not even for a bit. Review

The Kill Team is another important filmmaking piece that is not afraid to call out its own government, or illegal actions taking place in a war zone. Review

Its concept is crying, damning, and too brutal. But it uncovers the reality we live in. Review

Last Breath is a nail-biting suspenseful thriller that gives us under-sea footages, the rescue mission, tears and laughter, and the moments of uncertainty where no one knows what will happen next. Review

That said, the concept of the film is funny, weird but so intriguing that the voice of the narrator you hear throughout ensures you don’t try to escape Sergio and his madness. Review

Hail Satan? is an incredible documentary that gets unprecedented access to The Satanic Temple that within six years of its existence has no intention of slowing down in getting more and more members. Review

Framing John DeLorean is another wisely done documentary of someone some would consider as a great con man. Review

Having that said, stories like these will make you think, go deeper into the issue that may eventually trigger a positive action as it did with all the students during the March for their life. Review

I have never seen a documentary that would be so focused on its subjects, following their path, even the dark ones to unveil their best sides, capture their struggle, and more importantly how they learn (not always) from the mistakes they made. Review

One of the strongest elements of Blow the Man Down is its strong score that writes its own storyline throughout the film. Review

Flesh Out is a very interesting film about strong traditions that wouldn’t be practiced in a civilized world unless it’s restricted purely to one or another community. Review

House of Hummingbird is a beautifully directed piece from Korea that will melt even a frozen heart. Review

Slay the Dragon is a timely piece that every single voter in the United States must watch. Review

Just go for it and see how the things will play out for you like a beautifully written script with a heartwarming happy ending that will happen in real life itself. Review

Halston gives an interesting look of how Halston turned out to be one of the best fashion designers, his hats that everyone would wear, and the masks he made would be everywhere in a ball. Review

Inside Lehman Brothers is an eye-opening piece is the least I can say. However... Review

Films like For Sama is important for generations to come to learn the ugly past and try to avoid it at any cost. Review

The film takes a lighter approach to not shock the viewer to the core, while through the brilliant performances of Golshifteh Farahani, there will be no problem to figure out what happens behind closed doors. Review

The film is not only about entitlement, but also about what happens to those who are considered unprivileged, from a very poor society, and without proper help can disappear in thin air. Review
