Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

Structurally engaging and, at times, entertaining, the film is a difficult journey to make. Review

But be ready, because White Fortress has a big surprise which you will be quite amused with but in a good way. Review

The beauty of it is that you connect with all of them. You will feel and care for each one of them. Review

The Bin perhaps is far from being great. But I don’t believe it pretends to be that either. Review

Filled with fascinating archival footages, exceptional direction and the right approach, Stephen DeBro’s documentary is like a requiem for a dream you don’t want to wake up from. Review

It’s almost like a lost neverland where you try to make sense of the things that literally make no sense. Review

It has the hope we need to see; it’s, at times, a feel-good story that allows immigrants, especially, to believe in self-realization and the endless opportunities the land of the free can bring. Review

My Salinger Year is a surprisingly easy-going and inspiring drama with a genuine heart. Review

The intelligence of the film is on a whole another level. Only fully prepared can you dive into the ocean of misery, truth, rage and anger. Review

It is an upsetting story of a man who can’t reveal himself to the fullest and must remain in the closet. Amit and Nadav’s dynamic is provocative but solidly delivered by Ben-Oved Berkovich and Harel Glazer. I... Review

Filled with stellar performances from Aleksas Kazanavicius, Dainius Gavenonis and Severija Janusauskaite as the loving and supportive wife to Andrius, the film is a painful reminder to all of us – no one can escape the past. Review

While it’s far from being perfect, it’s a fine portrayal of the image of street culture, money-driven environment, race and class, and what it may bring as a result, if misused. Review

The brilliance of the film is in its striking concept that is one of the most intelligent I have seen in a while. Review

Post Office is a thought-provoking short narrative... Review

It perfectly unfolds the story leaving no gaps whatsoever except for heartbreak you will feel throughout the film. Whether it’s the writing, direction or the performance, the film subtly explores the theme of suicide without showing the actual act. Review

It’s an excellent pandemic love story that will take a piece of you with it, as soon as it’s over. Review

The Blazing World is a very engaging film that, once again, explores the theme of loss of a child and a sister who leaves a big scar on her family. Review

Son of Monarchs is a love story about and for butterflies. Mendel’s research and dedication towards them make the man curious about life and death and what happens if a human and a butterfly become one. Review

Through the exceptional writing and direction of Ajitpal Singh, we are left to face very nuanced storytelling where two parents clash over their son and how Prakash should be treated. Review

It’s engaging, even though predictable, but interesting enough for you to continue watching it. Review

Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir is a literary titan. Review

As the documentary focuses on the upcoming election, everything will be in line to fight for the dignity of the country, and that has been captured powerfully in President. Review

Carmichael’s film may be far from being original but it’s engaging, has interesting characters that you will care about, and a storyline you will be eager to find out what happens in the end. Review

The film is smart, provocative and engaging. It also provides food for thought for those who prefer the gaming world to the real one. Review
