Movie reviews of Niels Matthijs

The stronger bits of his latest effort are stunning, dressed up in lush visuals and backed up by a strong soundtrack. Review

While all of that sounds pretty chaotic, there's still that stylistic cohesion that pulls everything together. Review

An amazing film to revisit, even if its not all that easy to pinpoint what exactly makes it great. Review

A zany, extrovert and anything but subtle piece of cinema with the potential to be very divisive... Review

One hell of an experience. Review

It's a good thing Shoalin Soccer is this much fun, because beyond its successful comedy aspect it's clear the film is somewhat lacking. Review

An interesting film. Review

Some impressive animation, a proper soundtrack and a warm, feel-good atmosphere... Review

There are so many things right with this film that it's easy to forgive its few shortcomings. Review

A rather simple and mousy little headfuck. Review

Finds a comfortable tone to talk about taboo subjects. Review

A modern martial arts classic. Review

A small delight. Review

An easy recommend. Review

If you like your action cinema over the top, make sure to give this one a try. Review

A dense and harrowing experience... Review

A film that isn't shy to pay tribute to its influences. Review

Aronofsky delivers the goods and reestablishes himself as one of the most talented and relentless directors of his generation. Review

Definitely recommend, unless martial arts cinema isn't your thing. Review

A fine reunion with a director who hasn't lost his touch and still stands as one of the top Hong Kong directors of this generation. Review

Lots of fun and it's fast-paced from start to finish. Review

A fine collections of shorts. Review

A movie with balls, with a strong female lead and a very clear sense of style. Review

A great film for a director just starting out in the business. Review
