Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

This is a quiet and tender movie that blends courtroom and family drama. Review

For maximum adrenaline, you should be trapped in a dark room without escape and without respite. The 91 minutes should run out fairly quickly, much like the dwindling oxygen in May and Drew’s tanks. Review

The Oceans Are the Real Continents is a visually enrapturing piece of slow cinema with a very loose narrative arc. Review

Three failed clowns get together in order to forcibly draw some laughter, joy and blood from those who stand on their path - clumsy Irish comedy. Review

Viennese men and women engage in a vertiginous battle for love and lust, in this charming and unusual French anthology. Review

Christian Petzold's new creation is an inventive and profound meditation on the deceitful machinations of the creative mind. Review

Drug dealer offers comfort, redemption and liberation to some of the most vulnerable people of Tehran - ultra-subversive, scream-out-loud Iranian movie. Review

Italian teen is caught in a fantasy world of murder, sex and cinema, in this Franco-Italian pithy and vibrant tribute to giallo. Review

Deeply poetic Swiss documentary about Jamaican trans woman excels in inventiveness. Review

Moroccan prepubescent teens fight for survival on the deserted streets of Spanish exclave Melilla, in this cold and distant Swiss-French documentary. Review

Two tormented young women bond through their afflictions and pains, in this unusually structured Portuguese drama. Review

Dani Rosenberg’s third feature film makes a subtle yet unequivocal anti-war statement without slipping into didacticism and pamphleteering. Review

Raju Jude presents his unsightly, messy and completely bonkers new movie, a caustic satire of a Romania intoxicated by film wizardry. Review

This is a film that will make you smile, even gently shake your hips, however it will neither enrapture nor hit you. Review

Three very different women fight for their perceived home, in this exquisite allegory of Dutch colonial relations in Indonesia at the turn of the century. Review

Artist and audience forge a toxic, love-hate relationship, in Quentin Dupieux's dirty, hilarious tribute to the (movie) theatre. Review

While visually bewitching, Slimane also feels loose and fragmented. Perhaps that too was a creative choice, providing the movie with an otherworldly, enigmatic aura. Either way, I look forward to seeing Pereira fully develop his language and vision, and author his first feature film. Review

Young Brazilian filmmakers Leandro Goddinho and Paulo Menezes have created a film that’s uncomfortably funny to watch. Review

Gerwig hilariously mocks toxic masculinity, conformity, consumerism and even American pop culture. The design, costumes, art direction are as impeccable as Barbie’s hair and attire. You will feel like you have been transported into a toy world. Review

Futile, inept young dancer and his new, exciting stepmother develop an intense relationship full of surprises - British cringe comedy with elements of kitchen sink. Review

Completely bonkers, female-made Asian horror about schoolgirl slowly morphing into a tiger neither scares nor astounds viewers. Review
