Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

It was fun. I enjoyed it, particularly some of the excellent comedy sections. But, with my other head on, it feels a bit of a jumbled, over-hurried mess. Recensie

This is a perfectly pleasant film to watch and will particularly appeal to older viewers looking for a gentle drama told in a linear and predictable way. Recensie

This is a delightful film that, I’m not ashamed to say, made me well-up at the end. Recensie

This is an interesting and entertaining documentary that is well-worth your time if you can get to see it. Recensie

You can surely not be unmoved by this movie. How can it be so enthralling and devasatating to watch a cow going about its business with no ‘dialogue’ per se and no real story? Recensie

This is a bit of a mixed bag, but on the whole I enjoyed it. In my book, it’s worth watching for the snort-worthy barn scene towards the end of the film. Recensie

This is definitely not a film for action lovers. But for fans of TV’s “All Creatures Great and Small”, that’s the sort of gentle, bucolic experience you can expect with this. Recensie

This was a small scale but genuinely entertaining comedy-crime drama that I found to be thoroughly entertaining throughout. Recensie

This is very much an arthouse film that will very much evoke a “WTF!” from regular cineplex-goers. Recensie

An intelligent and engrossing film, I really enjoyed this one. Recommended. Recensie

A short film that highlights (in a non political way) an issue increasingly affecting rural communities across the UK. It’s a short watch but a good watch. Recensie

With some irritations about the pacing, I enjoyed the start of the movie and the characters on show. But the last two thirds of the movie really went downhill for me and the non-event ending just plain annoyed me. Recensie

It’s atmospheric; it’s an interesting watch; but it is also extremely confusing. I’d watch it again to try to work it all out, but I’m not sure I have the patience. Recensie

A stunning, widescreen cinema epic. Recensie

As you might tell from a film about a biker gang, this is a rough, tough film with a good dose of threat and violence included. It will make you cross about human beings at times. But it is also very enthralling and a recommended watch. Recensie

I understand it stayed pretty loyal to the book, so that’s not the filmmakers fault. But for me this was a little gem becoming something tarnished. Recensie

This is a really solid melodrama, based on an interesting premise and with some extraordinary acting performances. Did it set the screen on fire and completely rock my world? Unfortunately, no. But it is worth catching anyway. Recensie

The script by Fennell is whip-smart funny. Every scene has its own particular zinger, mostly uncovering the shallowness and self-deception inherent within the rarified silver-spoon culture of Saltburn. Recensie

The story really hooked me in and kept my attention. Together with some impressive technical film-making skills and some very good acting performances, this is one that I’d recommend you try to catch. Recensie

I note that I’ve listed a lot more positives than I did negatives which makes me question my rating. But my top negative is a big one. Recensie

I found this a slightly frustrating watch. Aspects of the film are really good and enjoyable and Chastain and Sarsgaard are a class act. With some simplification and streamlining there is a great film somewhere in here. But I’m afraid, for me, this cut came over as a bit ‘all over the place’. Recensie

This was a teriffic film and is highly recommended. It is certainly one of the best foreign films I’ve seen this year and I’d certainly watch it a second time. Recensie

A popcorn movie that I found to be a truly entertaining and an enthralling watch. Recensie

It’s sad, moving but not without a quiet drumbeat of hope for the future in Falta’s diligent school work. Not an easy watch, but a recommended watch. Recensie
