Filmrecensies van Niels Matthijs

While not my absolute favorite Shinkai, it's definitely up there with his best... Recensie

One of the very best 90s Hong Kong martial arts films... Recensie

Hadzihalilovic delivered what I consider to be an almost perfect second feature. Recensie

Provides perfect closure to this film series and conjures up the genius of the first film once more, but I'm well aware this won't be everyone's cup of tea. Recensie

Quite stoic, mysterious and enigmatic, both plotwise and stylistically. Recensie

A damn good companion piece to the first film. Recensie

Quirky characters, smart ideas and plenty of creativity make for a fun, surprising and fast-paced comedy... Recensie

The combination of thriller elements with big drama is a tough trick to pull off, but Lee does it with such flair and conviction... Recensie

Feels light and breezy, while still harboring enough depth... Recensie

Yet another take on Sono's trademark style... Recensie

A superb example of how genre cinema can be elevated when the hand of an author is added to the mix... Recensie

They left Nihei's appeal and style intact, the action sequences are brutal and the megastructure looks as cool as it does in the manga. Recensie

The animation is top notch, the soundtrack is memorable, its universe feels alive and it goes out with a bang. Recensie

It's hyper-stylized, it's extremely daring and surprisingly well-balanced. Recensie

A feel-good film that hits all the important marks. Recensie

It's creepy, it's dark and tense from start to finish. The acting is top notch, the characters are interesting and the film looks and sounds great. Recensie

A pretty great film, but some familiarity with the director will definitely help you to appreciate it to its fullest. Recensie

Impeccable styling, solid acting and a unique balance of drama and mystery. Recensie

Walks a fine line between accomplished cinema and maverick nihilism and succeeds with deceptive ease. Recensie

Kawamori presents a worthy and classy tribute to the genius of Miyazawa... Recensie

Witty, smart, well-made, pure and most of all unique. Recensie

Looks astounding, Itoh's source material is handled with the proper respect and so is the audience. Recensie

It's somewhat of a mess of influences, but the film itself always feels coherent and solid. Recensie

It's quite black and deadpan, also a little absurd, but never as extreme as seen in Ming-liang Tsai's films. Recensie
