Movie reviews of Victor Fraga

The film lacks cohesion in its narrative, plus the acting is lukewarm. Review

Documentary explores the longing and the nostalgia that replaced the jolly and bustling video game arcades that dotted the US in the 1980s. Review

This is a documentary that speaks directly to your most profound feelings and imagination. Review

The realism of Poor Cow is also remarkable, even for today’s terms. Review

This is a documentary like no other. There is no linear narrative, no protagonist and no plot. Review

A dark and yet strangely charming tale about life as a celebrity photographer in London. Review

A very intimate – and never exploitative – portrayal of life in the most varied urban and rural corners of India. Review

This powerful new British movie is a profound meditation on human fallacies. Review

The acting is touching and convincing, but the plot has so many loose ends... Review

Dirty Movies celebrates the film's flare and imaginativeness, but also ponders on its historicity and authenticity. Review
