Filmrecensies van Alex Brannan

The dramatic weight of the World War II subject matter has been more effectively weighty before. Recensie

Simply unfunny, The Happytime Murders has so little substance that it is hard to even discuss it. Recensie

A grimy film with little to say for itself. Recensie

A character-driven romantic film that leans into tropes without falling victim to them. Recensie

The humor isn’t funny, and, when it comes down to it, the film wants to be Jaws. Recensie

We are somersaulting toward a resolution that fails to cash in on the immersive storytelling that came before. Recensie

It just fails to strike a balance, and, as such, the comedy often does not land. Recensie

The fuzzy characters doing and saying big-hearted things is all well and good, but it does not remedy the glaring issues in the plot and its messaging. Recensie

There are blockbuster-level action set pieces. Between these sequences, though, the film reads much more flat... Recensie

This is such a simple concept, but Eighth Grade illustrates it with profoundly elegant precision. Recensie

A scrappy, heart-in-its-hand animated film. Recensie

No flab, all action, and unapologetic about it. Recensie

With this film, he might just be saying too much at once. But too many good things is better than none at all. Recensie

It is a sequence like that one that shows us glimpses of The Equalizer, which is easily a more thrilling low-key action film. Recensie

The plot of the film is a silly game of smoke and mirrors, leading us down a path and then attempting to pull the rug out from under us. Recensie

Beyond the occasional fun acting performance, though, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is a lacking experience. Recensie

Two to three set pieces use the eponymous building to good effect. Otherwise, it is an empty action experience without character, wit, or intelligence. Recensie

Light-hearted and well-intentioned, a wholesome family film with an animation guru pulling the strings. Recensie

The action serves its necessary function. The comedy is more effective than your average action venture. Recensie

Gives us characters worth rooting for in an environment that is actively trying to suppress them, both textually and subtextually. Recensie

A chuckle here and there. But ultimately it is boilerplate plotting, derivative comedy, and airless depictions of basketball. Recensie

Narratively divorced, Soldado remains a tough sell. It is hard on the soul, bleak for the sake of bleak, its only justification appearing to be that the world really is that bleak anyway. Recensie

The only genuine aspect is the action set pieces. They are flashy and loud and violent and, occasionally, quite effective. Everything else feels phoned in. Recensie

The documentary may read at large stretches like a greatest hits reel of Rogers’ program, but in a sense that is enough to make the point. Recensie
