Filmrecensies van Filipe Freitas

Some scenes tend to be cheesy. Not so consistent but with respectable intentions. Recensie

Besides the sharp cinematography, I was touched with one of the most joyful finales seen in a war movie. Recensie

Sleepless Night has convincing physical fight scenes but suffers from the same debilities as the majority of this type of action movies – The back-and-forth of the storyline just delays what we already know it will happen. Without big surprises, it still entertains and guarantees a satisfactory dose of adrenaline. Recensie

In the limited space of his home, Panahi just did one more time what he knows best - good and interesting cinema! Recensie

No need to tell that I was constantly struggling to grasp what was going on. The searching is endless and the conclusions are few, but the movie sticks into your head for some time. A challenge! Recensie

We may doubt about its authenticity but all seemed very real and shocking. Recensie

The script was too weak and the performances were not brilliant. What was supposed to be a thriller, turned out to be a boring and clouded story, leading me to the tiredness of trying to find anything that made sense. Recensie

I found it very predictable and the infinite coincidences that lead to the final have some kind of absurdity. I may believe in signs…but not in these ones. Recensie

Normally, I am not an enthusiastic of this genre, but we have to recognize when a movie is well done. Despite the lack of originality, the special effects, frantic action and the humor of Stark (Iron Man) are there to marvel the fans. Recensie

Pariah begins discreetly, but soon evolves to a heartfelt sensitivity that might touch you deep down inside. Recensie

It’s true that there is not much vitality or grandeur in this movie, but it is tidy and the dialogues and acting are solid enough to make it worth a look. Recensie

The story is intense, the filming location is perfect and it succeeds in denouncing how the aboriginals were forgotten and are currently living. But this can’t be all in a movie…and all the good intentions and expectations were hampered by terrible performances from the non-professional actors and by a wobbly direction as well. Recensie

A crazy story with a few funny situations, shows solid characters and also works as a strong criticism of a divided country. Actually, there was nothing that we hadn’t seen yet and the story needed a push in some instances, but it flows all right, and I was amused for almost 2 hours. Recensie

The only issue with this movie lies in its overlong duration - due to one or another not so relevant testimony. Recensie

This is a believable story which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Not to miss! Recensie

The futuristic scenario was well set and the concept behind the games worked fine. The problem was that along the course of its story, I wasn't able to be convinced. Predictable in its twists and turns, it didn’t surprise me much. Recensie

Love, obsession, depression and suicide are carried in a slow pace and extreme sadness. The truth is that for most of the time I felt indifferent and didn’t really mind when it came to an end. Recensie

Counting with his regular and favorite actor Johnny Depp, this time the plot and imagery weren’t so appealing. Having exaggerated on the number of stunts and witchcrafts, only the dark humor has saved the film from a disaster. Recensie

Daniel Henshall plays magnificently well the role of John Bunting, a confident and absolute ruling man who fancied himself as a superior being. I don’t feel like visiting Snowtown after watching this! An hypnotic and scary independent film. Recensie

Most of the gags were too formulaic and too dumb to be funny. In a quick summary: I got bored most of the time and I don’t recommend this one. Recensie

Austrian actor Markovics makes his debut as director and the result is Breathing – a movie with personality. Recensie

Thorough cinematography, genuine acting and a stylish directing is what you can find in this artsy South African movie. Recensie

The initial mystery and suspense soon gave way to endless court sessions. Unfortunately the movie wasn’t able to keep the level shown in the beginning - decaying slowly towards the end. Recensie

Reveals a smart plot within a clumsy style, where lots of betrayals take place, involving police, government and drug cartels. Recensie
