Filmrecensies van Victor Fraga

Wang Quan’an’s Ondog is one of those sensory filmic experiences where the narrative is extremely slow and seemingly secondary. Recensie

Francois Ozon is best remembered for his psychological dramas, psychosexual thrillers and twisted comedies. He has now moved into an almost entirely new territory: Catholic faith and paedophilia. The outcome is nothing short of magnificent. Recensie

Cold and soulless: this blend of thriller and dark comedy starring a lethargic Liam Neeson has very little to offer other than the occasional Colorado wintry landscape. Recensie

Bleak, unoriginal and very violent: how the latest American sci-fi movie produced by James Cameron & co left me mostly numb and cold. Recensie

Biopic of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a fitting tribute to gender equality, if also a little romanticised. Recensie

Irish horror about mother convinced that her son isn't her son anymore recycles old suspense tropes, and is effective enough to keep you hooked for 90 minutes. Recensie

A feelgood tearjerker with an upbeat ending. Recensie

While the director deserves credit for being respectful and non-exploitative, the film lacks a little ingeniousness and imagination. Recensie

A powerful historical drama, with excellent performances, photography and an invigorating music score to support the events. Recensie

This is an important film with its heart at the right place. Recensie

This not a patchwork of random short films. It all gels together neatly. The films flow nicely, just like the River Thames. Recensie

It’s never a chore to sit through, but it’s never riveting, either. Recensie

Acceptable Damage is a very tender and feminine film... Recensie

If you wish to idolise and celebrate an active judge, why not make a fiction film instead? Recensie

An exquisite black and white film fusing documentary-making, lyricism and experimentalism. Recensie

Unfortunately there isn’t much to salvage in Until We Fall, except perhaps for Carlehed’s nuanced performance. Recensie

A subtle and gentle drama about reconciling personal and religious freedoms. Recensie

An impeccable piece of filmmaking. It will keep you hooked throughout its relatively long duration of almost two hours. Each and every character has depth, and nothing is redundant. Recensie

An effective and heartfelt piece, but it also lacks a certain dramatic depth. Recensie

A film about inexplicable truths, and also about balancing religion and science, faith and rationality. The story that can be interpreted in many ways, and the ending will raise more questions than answers. Recensie

Documentary investigates the nuts and bolts of Blockchain and Bitcoin, and whether the new technologies could change the way we live... Recensie

Asandhimitta isn’t witty and elaborate. It’s simply helter-skelter. There a few entertaining moments, but overall it’s incomprehensible and draining to watch. Recensie

A lyrical, profound and solid piece of filmmaking. The action and the developments are very subtle and slow, while the performances are candid and effective. Recensie

An auspicious caper. The action is fast-faced enough to keep you hooked during the 96 minutes of duration. Recensie
