Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

Young couple grapples with IVF while attempting to keep the spark in their relationship alive, in this heartfelt yet emotionally draining British drama. Recensie

In a nutshell, this is an entertaining yet partial and timid biopic of a man bigger than any football team in which he played. Recensie

Crack addicts dwelling in a semi-open rehab in Sao Paulo grapple with recovery, in this moving yet harrowing documentary. Recensie

The fifth documentary by 40-year-old Belgian documentarist Kristof Bilsen is a tribute to kindness and solidarity, and also a painful register of the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s on the patients and their families. Recensie

Watch A Dog Called Money for the music and the images, just don’t attempt to squeeze a lot of sense out of it. Recensie

Highly personal Brazilian doc about the recent collapse of democratic institutions in the Latin American nation is a sobering and painful reminder that the individual and the political establishment are inextricable. Recensie

The mission registered in this 90-minute documentary is so extreme that it almost looks like fiction. Plus the fact that the landing took place 50 years ago adds yet another layer of distance and alienation to the experience. And that’s precisely what makes Apollo 11 a fascinating watch. Sometimes reality is so fantastic. Recensie

If you have the opportunity, watch this film at the cinema, so you can grasp the enormity of the Earth, its natural wonders and the damage that we’re inflicting on them. Recensie

A heartfelt movie worth a watch, yet not without imperfections. Recensie

Nifty comedy about pitfalls and prejudices of showbiz starring Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling is delightful to watch. Recensie

While insightful, The Brink is also a timid documentary. Recensie

The documentary provides some interesting yet partial insight into post-Gaddafi’s Lybia. The camerawork isn’t particularly impressive, but this is natural for a piece of guerrilla-like filmmaking with very limited resources. Recensie

A wonderfully silly and star-studded zombie comedy. Recensie

Young female painter is commissioned to create the wedding portrait of Heloise without her realising it, in exquisite romance meditating on subtle male oppression. Recensie

Criminals use ancestral whistling language from the Canary Islands in order to communicate with each other, in extremely jumbled up thriller set between Bucharest and Spain. Recensie

Biopic of Cosa Nostra's supergrass acts as the moral compass of a nation grappling with a sanguinary past. Recensie

Palestinian director asks fundamental questions about being a "stranger" abroad, in absurdist political comedy with echoes of Mr Bean. Recensie

There are a couple of interesting moments in the movie. Recensie

Matthias and Maxime has colour and flare, and a few good moments, but overall it isn’t a profoundly moving film that will stay with you for a long time. Recensie

Ice on Fire, however, fails to address the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable communities of our planet. Recensie

Parasite is a fast-paced comedy of the absurd with few ingredients of a thriller thrown in. Recensie

The outcome is a tedious, partly formulaic and mostly unremarkable movie. Recensie

The camerawork is lacklustre, the script is bland and contrived, the climax is lame, and the acting is just about ok. Recensie

Aspiring actress has to grapple with lewd and manipulative filmmaker, in cleverly multilayered psychological drama from China. Recensie
