Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Red Joan surprisingly captures the complex persona of Joan Stanley with simplicity and straightforwardness. Review

The character development is fascinating. Review

There are lots of movies about the apocalyptic world, people that turn into zombies, and how humanity slowly disappears. But what is refreshing in this German take is that, firstly, it has a feminine approach. Review

A funny fantasy comedy with wickedly hilarious lines. Review

Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 is a powerful documentary movie that will make anyone feel disgusted but also make the careful viewer feel ready for action. Review

It’s a deeply moving slow-paced drama that the viewer must be prepared for, as it has its own plans and its own structure to follow, where we as spectators must follow it with great care and patience to be rewarded in the end. Review

Non-Fiction is an outstanding comedy that does not aim to reach every single viewer. It’s too bright and wicked to handle. Review

Maggie Gyllenhaal as Lisa, the kindergarten teacher, is amazing. Review

The Man Who Never Feels Pain is an outstanding action comedy filled with the best fight scenes ever. Review

Paul Dano’s directorial debut is a fascinating attempt as he manages to touch that subtle relationship between the three when you, at some point, will begin analyzing the entire movie beyond what the director simply could offer. Review

Les Salopes or The Naturally Wanton Pleasure of Skin is simply a brilliant film. Review

The screenplay written is simply outstanding. Every single line delivered by Pike is complete gold. Review

It’s compelling, deep and important. Review

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
