Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Borealis is a surprisingly sweet film with a few dynamic scenes. It’s main target is to explore a father-daughter relationship at one of the most difficult situations. Review

About Scout is an innocent family drama with solid performances. Review

The plot and the directorial approach are not the only things that shines in The Lobster. While the entire cast does a tremendous job, it’s Collin Farrell and Rachel Weisz who will constantly grab your attention. Review

Francella delivers a remarkably subtle performance that makes you detest his character even more. Review

It’s a moving film about the search of the purpose of life, the lost purpose of life; it’s about addiction, devotion and determination of one man, who no matter what, won’t stop until he brings the love of his love back from darkness – his mother. Review

It’s a wonderful family film that will make you feel good. Review

It’s an intelligently written film that will make you think during the entire film. Review

The directorial approach, the camera work and editing is the key factor in this film that gives actors enough room for exposure. Review

It develops the characters well, leaving us no questions at all. While there is no big acting ability required in this film, the actors still deliver a solid performance. Review

Amber Fares, who flawlessly tells the story here, tries to concentrate the viewer’s attention not only on the racing world, where women are not too welcome, but the life they have across the Bank, where occupied Palestine can’t afford to have a life even with minimal needs. Review

I’ve not seen a documentary film for a while where the filmmaker would have made such a subtle connection with the audience through an inspiring story like this one. Review

A haunting film with hypnotic effect. Review

A truly breathtaking movie about bravery, war and reality. It’s a must watch movie for anyone who loves war movies based on a true story. Review

It’s written intelligently, has excellent directing, and has a performance that makes us believe in everything that happens in this series. Review

The Wave is worth watching. The tsunami scene is scary enough to make you look for a high place to hide. Review

Hiddleston shines as Jonathan Pine, while Hugh Laure appears as a dangerous villain, whose path you better not cross. From the beginning of the episode till its last second, you simply can’t afford losing your attention. Review

This film may be about America, but in the meantime, it’s about every country in the world that must face the issues they have, and fix it, if they want our next generation to have a prosperous future. But before it happens, allow yourself to be invaded by Moore`s brilliant film, that must be seen by everyone. Review

It may not be a great film about the racial issues America and the world had to face, but perhaps, it’s Hopkins who found it too difficult to touch both subjects equally in one film, which does not seem right at all. If not for that, this film would have been much better than it is. But it still is a good film to watch. Review

Embrace of the Serpent quickly catches your attention through its simplicity and beauty of nature it portrays. Screenplay is near to perfection. Direction leaves you nothing to complain about. Review

Bloodsworth’s story will make you think of how many more people were convicted wrongly. Review

From the beginning to the end, in The Club you see nothing but superbly written, directed film with an extraordinary performance by the cast, whose characters you wish would never exist in a movie nor in real life. Review

Shades of Blue has a solid amount of everything: convincing plot, performance, and of course, no distractive scenes, which is what’s important when you have someone like Jennifer Lopez in it. Review

This is quite amazing to see how the filmmaker, Rusty Cundieff, turns such a serious subject into comedy. Some scenes are charged with hilarious moments, largely due to believable performances delivered by Sharon Leal and the twin brothers. Review

A thought-provoking movie to watch. It’s an excellent drama that conveys an important message. Review
