Filmrecensies van Ulkar Alakbarova

Of Fathers and Sons is the director Talal Derki’s personal journey. Recensie

As the story unfolds you will be stumbled, find yourself speechless and maybe if not for certain, in tears. Because there is no other way to react to what has been told or shared through Tim Wardle’s documentary, one of the best ones ever made. Recensie

Mandy is like Dante’s Inferno. Despite beautiful colors, a mind-blowing scenery and the visually stunning photography, it’s not the place any of us would like to end up in. Recensie

The Vatican Deception is one of those documentary films that may not reach the wider audience for the sole reason that it is an eye-opening film that some powerful people may want to be shut down. Recensie

In the end, we are left with a sad but hopeful love story. Recensie

Roll with Me is the most important documentary film that has to be seen by every individual on this planet. Recensie

Through his camera, the director allows the viewer to get a glimpse of the world where words, diplomacy, patience, and politeness are the tools to win in any situation. Recensie

The best thing about short movies is that, when well narrated, they seem like a concise version of a feature film that the viewer can enjoy in a shorter time period. Recensie

Adventures in Public School is one of those rare low budget comedies with a joyful and enchanting outcome. Recensie

Hepburn has delivered a decent drama that can aim only certain type of viewers. Recensie

Ava offers a vivid, disturbing and at the same time a brave look into how the power can force the family’s bond to be broken. Recensie

There is nothing superb or fascinating about The Polka King and seems that has never been the aim of its creators. It is a solid piece with decent performances from Jack Black, Jacki Weaver, Jenny Slate and Jason Schwartzman. Recensie

Phantom Threads tells an extremely charming and damaging story in a cleverly way. Recensie

Derek Peck’s piece is profound for its narration, editing and the way Ram Dass’ message is delivered in such a concise way. Recensie

The story is decent; the music – outstanding; the performance delivered by the cast is solid and combined with the directorial approach which clearly emphasizes that war cannot be handled or accepted in any way. Recensie

Some might say, the film has some goofy scenes and the storyline is not very believable. The thing is, certain films do not expect you to think too hard on them, they do not offer any puzzles for you to solve, or look for something to criticize. Recensie

Coco is a super adorable animated film from start to the very end. It’s funny and wicked. Recensie

There is nothing bad about Pitch Perfect 3. It’s funny, not overloaded with a complicated concept, and delivers exactly what we expect from this film – great music experience. Recensie

Firstly, it is an accurate portrayal of a sensitive time. In addition, the film has a beautiful soundtrack, an exceptional directing and writing, and last but not least, the editing is exquisite. Recensie

It’s a beautiful piece of art, created by the imaginative mind of its author. Recensie

Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette is an emotional portrayal of a struggling individual. Her character sometimes makes Louis VI look so insignificant due to the lack of experience in personal life. Recensie

Coppola’s piece is tragic in one way and cute in another. It is a well-written and subtly structured film. Recensie

He screenplay is amazing and describes everything in such detail, that the actors have no problem to perform. Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, and Alison Brie felt comfortable in shoes of the characters they portrayed. Recensie

If you decide to go for it, please, be prepared to watch a comedy which is not so funny. I did not find anything amusing about the storyline. Some lines, though, were written with taste, and I must admit, it was a pleasant surprise. Recensie
