Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

It is an exciting, endlessly engaging dark thriller with elements of horror. It is full of political drama, takes you into the epicenter of the fight for power, and for life itself between betrayers and monsters at the same time. Review

The Hidden World manages to have a flawless narrative, beautiful animations, outstanding colors, and a stellar cast that gave their voice to the characters that will never die either in the cinematic world or outside of it. Review

You can’t disregard its charm, cinematography, powerful and emotionally charged performances. An enigmatic world of art. Review

The Invisible Guest is a highly suspenseful crime thriller that offers a bunch of clues that serves its own purpose... Review

There are a lot of gaps in the screenplay written by Fung Lam and Mark Wu. Review

The film provides a nuanced portrait of a family trauma caused by secrets, a failed relationship, and the truth that, still somewhere in between, tries to decide to come out or not. Review

This film clearly captures not only why the refugee crisis exists, but why we should be open minded and mindful when it comes to paying attention to their stories. Review

My main issue is that Traffic Stop picked up a wrong narrative and continues manipulating it by creating more issues with racism than preventing it. Review

Moodie/Blokland’s piece works because it’s genuine, honest, and leaves all the child talk aside. Review

Even though it retreats back to the original concept, the new narrative never feels old or tiresome. Review

The four episodes of the Ted Bundy Tapes will give you goosebumps, chills, and brutal insights into the mind of the most evil, cruel murderer that gladly committed the most cold-hearted and atrocious killings without hesitation, yet, walked freely on this Earth until he was captured. Review

Mope is shockingly real. It’s so captivating that I could not believe the entire cast was based on real actors. Review

We Are Little Zombies is like a love letter to this life, or to those who do not believe in the ability to feel, experience, and continue their quest through the arc until light is seen. Review

Direction, cinematography, dark tones, mesmerizing performances, and even the score will put Berlinger’s film on the pedestal of the serial killer genre in a way that it will take decades to beat it. Review

There is a lot not adding up to the storyline and maybe it should not. Review

It’s kind of predictable and in some cases, the storyline makes no sense. Despite all those gaps and holes in the script, the film survives on its own by keeping the audience’s attention from time to time. Review

As the film tries to explain the true meaning of love, how it ever overcomes wrongdoings and is blind to prejudices, the film fails to explain a lot. Review

Clemency falls short of delivering its point. There are a lot of things not adding up. Review

Ut his pure simplicity and honesty turns into an interesting watch as we follow the protagonist character who must take the big step toward with certainty which, when we met him earlier, he clearly lacked. Review

Instead of giving away details of his discoveries, I will leave it up to you join him and follow his fascinating, thought-provoking investigation which I am sure will leave you shaken to the core afterwards. Review

Little Monster wins in many aspects, but one of them is the screenplay and the lines the actors deliver so flawlessly. Review

The Infiltrators is a thought-provoking and extremely powerful documentary film that revolves around the member of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance purely created by the Dreamers, or, the undocumented immigrants of US. Review

The Prodigy is not that bad, or as some might say, awful. It’s a surprisingly fun movie to watch if you leave all the negative sides of it aside. Review

Arctic offers a simple story of dramatic survival, human dignity, and the importance of not losing one’s mind during an unforeseen but extremely difficult situation. Review
