Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

With a populist modern soundtrack, a penchant for colour-filled cinematography, and a story that subverts expectations to constantly surprise, Waves is a burning treatise on the ripple effects of decisions. Recensie

Serviceable and at times surprising, but satirically on the nose and frequently too expected. Recensie

This is one movie you won’t want to repeat. Recensie

A stacked cast seems appropriate for this turn of the century battle of industrial titans. Recensie

The Way Back doesn’t really break any new ground. But it does tread that old ground with aplomb, and features a terrifically grounded, compelling performance from Affleck. Recensie

This mystical, magical Bonnie and Clyde story will shock, surprise and stay with you. Recensie

Dark Waters is perfectly serviceable, but largely uninspired. Recensie

Beautiful costuming can not an interesting film make. Recensie

A creatively void, decrepit piece of cinema that features a cast intent on doing the absolute least they can. Recensie

Terrible CGI and a propensity for the saccharine means this adaptation falls flat. Recensie

Emma is a funny, engaging and entertaining Austen adaptation. Recensie

Undeniably confronting, strange and unpredictable, ultimately The Lighthouse will stay with you for days, weeks, and potentially longer - worming its way into your brain. Recensie

Margot Robbie shines in an at times obnoxiously non-standard, but frequently fun, anti-hero tale. Recensie

A remarkable oddity of a biopic, whose somewhat despondent undercurrent is ultimately swallowed whole by the irrepressible optimism of Tom Hanks’ Mr. Rogers. Recensie

Messy and unkempt, this underwater thriller mixes flashes of brilliance with broadly ineffective storytelling for a distinctly mixed, but never unenjoyable, time at the cinema. Recensie

Solid performances and a remarkable true life story can’t elevate this paceless film from the depths of mediocrity. Recensie

Bad Boys For Life won’t win a shiny Oscar, but it will get you cheering in your seat and loving every second of screentime. Recensie

Against all the odds, after a troubled production and a bevvy of rumors, Dolittle makes it to the screen not only in one piece, but as a fairly enjoyable, perfectly OK piece at that. Recensie

A modern horror story told effectively, innovatively and compellingly. Recensie

Despite a magnetic Kristen Stewart, Seberg is only ever able to barely justify its existence. Recensie

My Spy is impossibly derivative, lethargically performed and remarkably poorly paced, but for those unused to ever seeing films, or those unfazed by quality, there's enough in the family dynamic here to justify an existence. Recensie

Waititi walks a fine line, but delivers a touching and impactful film full of laughs and light. Recensie

This second roll of the dice for the updated Jumanji franchise still hits all the same beats; just slightly less satisfyingly and surprisingly than before. Recensie

The insanity and wild entertainment factor of the central conceit at the heart of Spies in Disguise never truly overcomes a relatively rote story structure and predictable plotting. Recensie
