Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

Moving in its candor and remarkable in its perceptiveness. Recensie

Hungarian drama about man in his 30s overcoming being dumped by girlfriend excels in sensibility and ingeniousness; it's a heartfelt ode to masculinity in all of its splendid brittleness. Recensie

Riveting enough at its duration of 88 minutes. But the story has a few gaps, and the narrative doesn’t come full circle, the proposed closure isn’t too convincing. Recensie

Sensory film filmed in 35 countries during six years; the outcome is rather impressive if not without imperfections. Recensie

The photography is splendid. While effective enough as a disaster drama, Spitak also has a few problems. Recensie

Raises pertinent questions about the role of the documentarist and the purpose of the footage collected... Recensie

Overall, a great premise and yet a missed opportunity. Perhaps the whole thing would have functioned better as a short film instead. Recensie

Romain Gavras's second feature is a gangster comedy mocking European cliches, while also teeming with the colours of the Mediterranean; sadly the story is just too silly and disjointed. Recensie

A powerful documentary... Recensie

Wildlife is effective enough as a family drama, but it lacks the punch-in-the-face factor. Recensie

A little Indiana Jones, a little Guillermo del Toro. American military horror set on D-Day makes use of every conceivable genre cliche, yet it's scary and fun enough to watch. Recensie

All in all, an enjoyable ride through the life of a woman who dodged labels and preconceptions both within and outside the rock world in favour of her individuality. Recensie

This is a movie about living with psychosis and overcoming it. Recensie

A dazzling Glenn Close shines in movie about ghost writing wife and the nature of creative writing; sadly the film is lacklustre in almost every other aspect... Recensie

Japanese animation master crafts a fascinatingly puerile and colourful tale about only child coming to terms with his newly-arrived sister... Recensie

It’s fun, it’s gentle and it’s also rejuvenating to watch. Recensie

Exquisite tribute to very old age starring a nonagenarian Harry Dean Stanton raises questions about loneliness and "realism". Recensie

For a far more effective, humane and meaningful heist movie, watch American Animals. Recensie

The real-story of four highly ambitious and inept criminals who attempted to rob a library in Kentucky is surprisingly humanistic and moving. Recensie

British indie blends the topics of Alzheimer's, grief and loneliness with just the right amount of adrenaline; the outcome is elegant and moving. Recensie

This is not poverty porn. This is the fly-on-the-wall type of documentary-making, with a very feminine gaze. Recensie

Effective doc about fashion icon reveals audacious artistic streak contrasted against a certain racial ambivalence. Recensie

A deeply riveting and educational film for the whole family. Recensie

This is a piece of guerrilla filmmaking, and a very random fragment of a very complex conflict. The film is not contextualised at all, so it’s up to viewers to put the pieces together. Recensie
