Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

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

A deeply riveting and educational film for the whole family.

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.

A very provocative documentary about American culture, politics and race that merely uses The King of Rock and Roll as a barometer of change.

All in all, the whole thing feels a little bit like a television court drama, except that its duration of 105 minutes is more suitable to cinema audiences.

Turkish doc about residents of a retirement home has tasteful dreamy touch, and is a fitting tribute to those in their twilight years.

Compelling French drama investigates the role of women safeguarding the family and the home during WW1, revealing the tough and "unjust" decisions that they have to make.

A poignant and humanistic portrait of two females in a very conservative society...

Unabashedly glee and optimistic film about man's best friend is also dogged with clichés and empty platitudes...

American indie about father and daughter who bond through music has its heart in the right place, but it's also a little drab and syrupy...

A colourful and vibrant 90-minute show taking place across several intimate environments...

Should we still laugh at a black comedy about a high school student on an erratic killing spree? Short answer: YES!!!

Teen fantasy drama based on a real-life event is moving enough, but it also overdoes the ethereal tropes, and the outcome is sometimes a little contrived.

Story of most decorated WW1 dog gets translated into child-friendly animation, with abundant military and nationalistic celebration.

Dirty French animation rescues the silliness and simplicity of Looney Tunes, with an animalistic European flavour...

A technically accomplished film, with superb lighting and photography. On the other hand and despite the ban, The Nun is not a very dirty film.

Magnificent British drama permeates the highly insular life of a Jehovah's Witness family and investigates the excruciating pain of a mother forced to choose between her faith and her family allegiances.

Splendid autobiographical drama investigates grief and confusion of six-year-old Spanish girl who lost her mother to Aids...

Sarcastic and dry French comedy about fathers and son attempting to rekindle their bond through group therapy has quite a few dirty surprises in store...

The problem with Ideal Home is that – unlike the jokes – the dramatic element is only partly effective.

Highly insightful documentary provides detailed and finely corroborated arguments as to why Brexit is nothing short of a disaster, and it also conveys a necessary message of blue hope...

Contains unseen footage and a bombastic revelation, and it's moving enough even for non-fans.

British comedy about a group of males who bond through synchronised swimming is as close as you will get to THE FULL MONTY, with your knickers on!

Real story of human resilience is profoundly moving, and it will twist and shake your notions of sanity and romance.
