Movie reviews of Ulkar Alakbarova

A brilliant and stunning performance delivered by Natalie Portman... Review

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. Every single scene is pure masterpiece. Review

The tour-de-force performance delivered by Elisabeth Moss is stunning. Every single scene she appears in is pure joy to watch. Review

Thanks to Sarah Gadon’s confident performance, you will be getting a complete, and unquestionably, the best human characteristic you may get in one single individual, who knows very well what needs to be done to get away from a nightmarish night, safe and sound. Review

A genuine, deeply moving movie about the hypocrisy in politics, how fake news can manipulate people’s opinion yet how generosity and human kindness still prevails over evil. Review

An eye-opening and thought-provoking piece that we all must think about. Review

Cut, in many ways from the same cloth as its predecessor, Sunset takes a highly personal and distinctive look at another period in his country’s history. Review

Boy Erased is a deeply moving family drama where sexuality, confrontation of fears, religion, ideology and what is right and wrong will form one big circle. Review

Cold War is an absolutely charming piece that explores the theme of passionate love between two individuals whose feelings for each other will have to circumvent the shattering war, communism, geographical distance, and of course years of time as well. Review

Hotel Mumbai is brilliantly executed and filled with emotionally powerful performances that will leave the entire audience stunned to the core. Review

Led by the absolutely powerful and award deserving performance by Zain Al Rafeea, the film begins exploring Zain’s struggle through his eyes. Review

The Rainbow Experiment gives a spectacular view of the event that was meant to go wrong even before its start. This is a smart story with a brilliant reflection of our painfully sickening society. Review

El Angel is another decent film that makes a successful attempt to fictionalize true events. The director does an amazing job in presenting Carlo Puch in a dark light in a charismatic way. Review

It follows the small tribe called Wayuu, their ups and mainly downs, when one small decision to sell weed, aka, marijuana turns into bloodshed, revenge and death of everyone who was directly or indirectly involved in it. Review

Splinters is a solid family drama about feelings, fears, good or bad, and more importantly what is best for one individual. Review

Kingsway is an unconventional film about big issues and takes little steps at a time to draw an interesting image that turns into such a wonderfully narrated piece, I am sure, whether you’re up for comedies or drama, suicide, depression, anxiety or just family matters, you will never find yourself bored throughout... Review

Apart from a well-written screenplay or directorial approach, the film delivers outstanding action scenes. Review

It has a sharp narrative that’s brutal and honest. Everything from the start to the end is a pure masterpiece. Review

My main issue with The Little Stranger was not the storyline, the beautiful cinematography or even the performance of the actors, not at all. But rather editing, where the poor decision was made of including scenes that were better off not being part of the complete version. Review

O if you’re looking for a decent material or just shock therapy, We the Animals should be your first choice as it, trust me, will turn every single viewer’s world upside down. Review

1945 is a deeply moving piece with an impact that will last longer than you can expect. The reflection of an incompetent society, insatiability, misdeed and selfishness. Review

Sometimes funny, sad and even cruel, the world of prison still appears fascinating as the scenery and cinematography quietly transports the audience through the silver screen right to the era where everything has occurred. Review

Cardinals is a slow-paced psychological thriller that you will start liking only towards the end, which is not a bad thing. Review

Set in Australia, the beautiful scenery, beaches and surfing helps him to shape the story of Bruce and Loonie in a profound way. Review
