Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

A colourful and vibrant 90-minute show taking place across several intimate environments... Review

Should we still laugh at a black comedy about a high school student on an erratic killing spree? Short answer: YES!!! Review

Teen fantasy drama based on a real-life event is moving enough, but it also overdoes the ethereal tropes, and the outcome is sometimes a little contrived. Review

Story of most decorated WW1 dog gets translated into child-friendly animation, with abundant military and nationalistic celebration. Review

Dirty French animation rescues the silliness and simplicity of Looney Tunes, with an animalistic European flavour... Review

A technically accomplished film, with superb lighting and photography. On the other hand and despite the ban, The Nun is not a very dirty film. Review

Magnificent British drama permeates the highly insular life of a Jehovah's Witness family and investigates the excruciating pain of a mother forced to choose between her faith and her family allegiances. Review

Splendid autobiographical drama investigates grief and confusion of six-year-old Spanish girl who lost her mother to Aids... Review

Sarcastic and dry French comedy about fathers and son attempting to rekindle their bond through group therapy has quite a few dirty surprises in store... Review

The problem with Ideal Home is that – unlike the jokes – the dramatic element is only partly effective. Review

Highly insightful documentary provides detailed and finely corroborated arguments as to why Brexit is nothing short of a disaster, and it also conveys a necessary message of blue hope... Review

Contains unseen footage and a bombastic revelation, and it's moving enough even for non-fans. Review

British comedy about a group of males who bond through synchronised swimming is as close as you will get to THE FULL MONTY, with your knickers on! Review

Real story of human resilience is profoundly moving, and it will twist and shake your notions of sanity and romance. Review

An extremely succinct and clear lesson on the causes of said famine. Review

Japanese animation unusually directed by a female has a very interesting twist on motherhood and is worth a watch, despite the highly elliptical narrative... Review

Director of the instant classic IDA returns with an equally stunning "melodrama" dealing with Polish identity, war allegiances and the inability to settle down, all harmonically tied together by sumptuous music... Review

Be prepared for a shocking film ending with a highly symbolic connotation. Review

It’s an effective and concise film product that does what it says on the label, without adding any new flavours and twists. Review

Blends decadence with glamour at equal measures, but also fails to hook those unfamiliar with the kooky mother and daughter. Review

No solution is straightforward in the second largest country of Africa, and the future does not look bright. Review

Terry Gilliam's intended magnum opus is a cauldron of self-references with a few good moments, but also a little hackneyed and unintelligible. Review

Egyptian comedy about leper seeking his father juggles lighthearted humour with very profound sense of humanity. Review

A profoundly conversational and reflective film. Review
