Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

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.

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
