Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

It’s truly a masterclass in worldbuilding, every single detail is meticulously crafted to submerse us in its mythology. Recensie

It’s certainly one of the most provocative and thought-provoking films of the year, a totally visceral experience that’s hard to shake. Recensie

At a little over two hours, the film felt a bit long and dragged a bit, but the subject matter was so fascinating that it retained my interest. Recensie

This documentary was so well-edited, well-paced, and immensely entertaining that I definitely don’t mind watching it again. Recensie

If you’re looking for an entertaining, dynamic original indie movie with equal action and heart, then you can’t go wrong with Marmalade. Recensie

The film just isn’t entertaining to me, not even a glint of joy as Coppola drenched it in gloom and melancholy. Recensie

Gripping, and emotional but with well-timed moments of levity, Vasarhelyi and Chin definitely do Nyad’s incredible story justice! Recensie

Can’t say I’m clamoring for more of this type of risible spy thriller that’s absurdly expensive to make with not much to show for it. Recensie

This is the most inept, boring, pointless movie… not sure why people even compliment the visuals as it’s visually garish + ugly! Recensie

The subject matter is so fascinating that it deserves a much more compelling movie! Recensie

Mélanie Laurent directs and stars in this French action comedy… the tone is a bit off but manages to still be quite entertaining thanks to exhilarating high-octane action and the fun chemistry of the female cast, notably Adèle Exarchopoulos. Recensie

Overall I find it more enjoyable than Ferrari and the racing scenes, including the crashes, are well-staged, it uses CGI in an effective way to showcase the video game elements that enhance its storytelling. Recensie

I was expecting a silly fish-out-of-water (well, a lizard-out-of-its-terrarium in this case) comedy, but LEO turns out to be quite a gem of a movie about unlikely friendships, loyalty, and aging gracefully, plus there are some life lessons delivered in a fun but endearing way. Recensie

It’s a well-acted two-hander starring Sarsgaard and the always-watchable Jessica Chastain, Memory is a deeply layered and moving drama about past trauma and finding connection when you least expect it. Recensie

High production quality, beautiful cinematography, and lovely music by Volker Bertelmann all make this a memorable war drama. Recensie

I just wish there were more of these profound moments to make the film more memorable than it is. Perhaps it’s best to leave it as a stage adaptation. Recensie

If you like the cast, I recommend you seek this one out, it’s got enough going for it that just might pleasantly surprise you. Recensie

There is plenty to marvel at in Poor Things, but in the end, it’s Bella’s odyssey of self-discovery that makes the film worth watching, beautifully realized by Stone and the excellent ensemble cast. Recensie

Origin is a towering achievement, adapting a non-fiction book as a narrative film is tricky, but she manages to weave an impressively engaging, deeply moving, and thought-provoking piece. Recensie

Fans of French cinema and/or foodie movies should definitely seek this one out... Recensie

The sense of mystery and melancholy is magnified by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch’s evocative score and Jamie Ramsay’s ethereal cinematography that looks stunning on the big screen. Recensie

It’s a simple, meditative piece featuring a captivating lead performance by Koji Yakusho. Recensie

Despite the thrilling race sequences, Ferrari lacks a certain oomph (or vroom in this case) to mark a memorable comeback. Recensie

American Fiction is a biting satire that’s thoroughly engaging and as multidimensional as its characters. Recensie
