Movie reviews of Filipe Freitas

The tension is unstoppable and the film has no dead moments or delays in its well-planned course of events. Review

Part social commentary, part character study, is not a pleasurable watch, holding a tighter grip in its first half, but failing to surprise in the debilitating second. Review

We’re only left with the interesting biblical connotations of a tale that could have been more attractive... Review

An effective blend of emotional depth and rigorous craft. Review

Not a masterpiece but rather a solid, well-mounted film supported by a plausible story that raises moral questions. Review

Shines with fantastic performances by Gosling, Hoeks, and Ford, and also impresses on the visual side... Review

Just another vain attempt to squeeze the silly life of a scoundrel into two hours of a second-rate cinematic romp. Review

There is lots of space for silliness here, yet Thor: Ragnarok is one of the most absorbing, even unpretentious Marvel-based films in years... Review

The imperfections are counterbalanced with one of those experiences that will make ruminate... Review

Kogonada uses elementary filmmaking processes to highlight real people within an honest, plausible story. Review

Manages to project this particular story in a way we can understand the wider historical context. Review

Rings some truths attached and is definitely worth exploring. Review

Simply an overlong, unarticulated, and impotent thriller that opted for the easiest way to impress. Review

A long, slow, and arduous walk toward an inevitable death. Review

May be visually arresting but it’s hollow at its core, embracing an implausible, nearly-surreal darkness... Review

Midi Z resorts to a slow, steady pace to set the highly articulate storytelling in motion. Review

Simultaneously bleak and illuminated... Review

Uncle Sam’s critical open wounds in a flawed manner... Review

Gradually lost the charm previously gained with the genuine unity of a likable group of friends. Review

The auteur shaped it brilliantly and the film truly impressed me by entangling, astonishing, and disorienting... Review

A faintly enjoyable, melodramatic trifle. Review

You’ll certainly find bracingly funny moments scattered throughout an amusing tale... Review

Not the masterpiece that some supporters are proclaiming but undoubtedly presents something more than most of the rom-coms... Review

Finds his focus on family matters, living from awkward situations and clear-cut observations while adopting a sly pose. Review
