Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

The plot is structured cleverly; the performance of the entire cast is absolutely outstanding. Review

The film is directed and narrated cleverly, to ensure that it is as historically accurate as possible. Review

The actress Jessica Rothe delivers amazing performance, turning this mysterious thriller into an intelligent horror movie with so many entertaining scenes. Review

Wonderstruck is a profound film with a very deep and touching subject. Review

Trafficked manages to find the perfect balance, where the horrifyingly true scenes, inspired by real events, are captured very cleverly to provoke discussions but not to traumatize the viewer beyond the acceptable limits. Review

Rebel in the Rye is one of those movies, that is targeting a very specific audience who will understand Danny Strong’s main purpose. Review

Buirski’s documentary is a sad reminder to all of us that no matter how much we try, certain things will remain unchanged. Review

Beats per Minute is a powerful drama and one of the best narrated films about the struggle and frustration of the ACT UP community... Review

The screenplay is quite messy... Review

American Made is a well-narrated film about how a man can earn so much money and own the world, but lose all of it in a blink of an eye. Review

The gently crafted scenes and intelligent humor will keep the viewer engaged throughout the film. Review

The Breadwinner, of course, is not a fancy big-studio animation. It’s not a Disney or Pixar type of a film. Yet, there is something about it that won’t stop charming the viewer. It’s profound, heartwarming and so real. Review

Jessica Chastain’s gorgeous performance secures Molly’s Game as the year’s most intriguing production so far and can be considered as a high crime committed by anyone who decides to miss the film under any circumstances. Review

Through the powerful performance delivered by equally great Helena Bonham Carter and Hilary Swank, 55 Steps is an excellent tribute to those who fought relentlessly and tirelessly against the big corporation. Review

Kings is a brilliantly crafted work with all positive implications. Review

I was deeply moved by the entire film as well as its harmless, family-oriented atmosphere. Review

Simon Verhoeven’s Friend Request may not be one of the best horror movies you have ever seen but it still holds some magic for a first-time viewer. Review

Full of twists, The Wife is a wicked and sometimes very brutal film to watch… The dialogues are heartbreaking and thoughtful at the same time. Review

Mudbound is a powerful period drama with exceptional directing, writing, and cinematography. Review

I Tonya is a funny and heartbreaking movie to watch at the same time. A stellar cast such as Allison Janney and Julianne Nicholson, Sebastian Stan and incredible Margot Robbie. Review

Racer and the Jailbird is an impressive crime drama that well captures the importance of love and its immortality. Review

Outstandingly written script offers one of the most heartwarming experiences of a girl who dreams big enough to be taken seriously. Review

It will be unfair to say that William Dafoe is the only one who must get an applause for his remarkable performance. Bria Vinaite as Halley, or Brooklynn Prince as Mooney are simply speechless. Review

I hope you feel the same sensation as you watch the film, and I believe one really needs to see Veninger’s film to grasp the whole magic of it. Review
