Filmrecensies van Hope Madden

A big stew, and it’s equal parts self-indulgent and self-pitying. Recensie

Offers a peculiar, sloppy bit of macabre that manages to be more memorable than it is enjoyable. Recensie

No problem appears to be especially troubling, no solution feels earned, no relationship looks authentic. Recensie

Muschietti’s approach to plumbing your fear has more depth than that and he manages your rising terror expertly. Recensie

Dips into horror territory, not necessarily a bad thing, but the film can’t make its shifting approach feel anything but jarring... Recensie

Offers a pantload of intriguing character work and suggests the vision of a worthy director. The script just needed another draft. Recensie

Both exhilarating and exhausting. Recensie

The film won’t satisfy your blood lust, your peaceful dreams or your hope for a decent movie. But damn, its timing is eerie. Recensie

A fine, if flawed, police procedural. Recensie

Endlessly fascinating, adorably dangerous and fun. Existential dread has never been so charming. Recensie

A disposable action comedy... Recensie

Still manages to tell its own peculiar and poignant story. Recensie

Walls’s remarkably balanced portrait of wanderlust, addiction and damage is utterly lost. Recensie

Sandberg offers little in the way of originality. But there are jumps aplenty and a couple of very freaky images in the third act. Recensie

Several of the action sequences are interesting and flashy... Recensie

Nikolaj Arcel manages to take this Cliff’s Notes version of King’s prose and still produce something bloated and slow. Recensie

For all its insightful moments and clever lines, feels a bit unwieldy and murky. Recensie

Unplug, soak up that Berlin vibe and appreciate the action and you’ll do fine. Recensie

Becomes too predictable and too sentimental once it embraces this cliché, but that’s not reason enough to condemn it. Recensie

Go in looking for an overly long, addle-brained extra-terrestrial romp that looks great and you’ll be fine. Recensie

A spare, quick and simple film that is equally epic. Recensie

He uses these to articulate, in clever and sometimes wryly funny fashion, the history unfolding. Recensie

Not a single plot point will surprise, and the film is too damn long. Recensie

A satisfying power struggle and the provocative use of ambiguities that refuse to offer a tidy ending help the film hang around after credits role. Recensie
