Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

2017, Horror, Suspense

A hybrid of horror and bank heist starring James Franco; it does work on some levels, but it eventually loses the plot...

2017, Action, Suspense

A shining example of cinema as a fearmongering tool, and the last thing you need to watch right now...

A twisted feminist movie revisiting the past and our notions of memory, but perhaps it would work better as a TV series...

A film about reconciliation of dysfunctional families and making amends with past, highly recommended!

French political thriller about a secret transcriber has flavours of 1970s conspiracy theory and Latin American cinema.

The infinite twists in the film will keep you guessing what this is until the final 20 minutes of the movie.

This sloppy rom-com is bursting with clichés and hardly plausible, but it still has a certain je-ne-sais-pas-quois...

In terms of message, Churchill is not too different from your average BBC period drama, or a film you’d catch on the History Channel.

An expressionistic fairy tale with a healthy dose of ambition.
