Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

Good Night Oppy feels like one of Steven Spielberg‘s sci-fi movies, except that it actually happened. This is definitely one of the best documentaries that are not only insightful but heartfelt, inspiring, and uplifting. Recensie

I do think the movie has some pacing issues and its running could’ve been trimmed down slightly. Overall this film is much better than I expected, thanks to the solid script, capable direction, and excellent performances of the two leads. ... Recensie

The film is quite well-paced as it manages to keep my interest piqued from start to finish. Recensie

I can’t pretend to fully grasp what McDonagh’s trying to say here. There’s a Shakespearean influence in that the story starts out as a comedy and ends in a tragedy. I come away not as enamored with this film as I thought I would. It’s something I appreciate, even admire, but not love. Recensie

It’s an admirable follow-up even if it doesn’t quite top the first film. Recensie

I quite like Andrea von Kampen‘s folk music, but the interaction between her and Paul Petersen lacks sparks or warmth, it even comes across as awkward at times. Recensie

I had fun with this movie and Karen Maine‘s direction is lively and upbeat. I adore the beautiful Tuscan scenery, I always appreciate movies filmed on location. The costumes and set pieces are wonderful to look at, too! Recensie

I love learning about Barry’s collaboration with two music legends – Dame Shirley Bassey and Louis Armstrong who sang some of the greatest Bond classics. Recensie

The story itself is pretty cute though the romance with Fred Astaire isn’t as convincing as Hepburn’s other films. Still it was charming enough and I really enjoy Kay Thompson‘s performance as the fashion editor. Recensie

Overall it’s just sensory overload with too much bombastic animated action, the story runs out of steam fast and frankly, I’m tired of seeing/hearing Michelle Yeoh being cast a Kung-Fu expert, come on Hollywood she’s SO much more versatile than that. Recensie

Efron displays such an earnest quality that makes the character’s inherent foolishness endearing. Russell Crowe has a brief but memorable appearance as a war journalist. Recensie

Ticket To Paradise is a pleasant, frothy diversion but doesn’t offer anything new in the genre. Recensie

I think the film has the potential of being quite profound, but in the end, I struggle to connect with Tana and her journey. Still, I’m glad I saw this and it’s well worth my time just to see Gladstone’s performance. Recensie

Field truly immerses you in Lydia’s universe, with the help of Hildur Guðnadóttir’s music and Florian Hoffmeister’ evocative cinematography. Recensie

It’s so rare to see a movie like Marcel which is endearingly funny and has a surprisingly emotional depth, yet still suitable for the whole family. It’s full of wit without resorting to crude/raunchy humor, and that alone is quite a feat. Recensie

At 2 hour 14 minutes it’s just too long and overly indulgent that it keeps stumbling and flopping toward its discombobulating conclusion. Recensie

I don’t think it’s as bad as the reviews made it out to be. I still find it enjoyable thanks to the bad-ass female cast who made it a fun Saturday night entertainment. Recensie

See How They Run doesn’t take itself too seriously but the committed cast sure has a lot of fun with their roles, which makes it pretty darn entertaining. Recensie

I enjoyed Greenland and I find it refreshing to see a disaster movie that cares more about the people affected than the special effects. The thought-provoking plot and emotional focus elevate this above other movies in this popular subgenre. Recensie

I think that’s the major beef I have with Don’t Worry Darling, the ideas being presented just aren’t fully developed. It’s a high concept that’s more surface level as the script fails to explore it in a deeper level. Recensie

The Woman King has been described by Viola Davis herself as her magnum opus and I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to call her performance a masterpiece. Recensie

It’s a charming and frothy diversion from the somber reality of the Queen’s passing. It’s not meant to be an emotional depiction like The Queen or even The Crown series, nonetheless, it’s a perfectly enjoyable piece of entertainment inspired by historical events. Recensie

Despite the leads’ committed performances, the film doesn’t prove to be a satisfying one. Most of the characters appear as one dimensional, even though there are moments where Hall’s Trinitie are palpably conflicted in her role as First Lady. Recensie

Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron and Richard Ayoade are definitely the trio MVPs, but Awkwafina and Zazie Beetz are pretty good as well. Recensie
