Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

After watching this film I was left with the overwhelming impression that this could be a monster Christmas hit and be one of those ‘traditional’ beloved Yuletide movies that will become a de facto “lovely old Christmas film” for many years in the future. Recensie

What really makes this movie succeed for me is the crazy amount of chemistry between Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, thanks to them both being insanely good actors. Recensie

This is a film that really came out of the screen and surprised me, in a good way. Despite seeing the hard lives of these grafters on the very margins of society, the love they have for their families, however dysfunctional, shines through, giving the film a strange feelgood vibe despite everything. Recensie

Nightbitch has its moments, particularly in reflecting how looking after young children can exert its own special form of mental torture. But I’m not sure it developed those ideas enough to fully work with me. Recensie

A good discussion starter: a film that makes you seriously think about what data you put online and what apps you use. Recensie

This is a very different film, striking and memorable. It will certainly not be for everyone, as it is very much ‘out there’ in its storytelling. Recensie

This is a solidly made British film documenting a very significant moment in medical and social history. Recensie

For although I wasn’t wowed by the film overall, I was wowed by Craig’s performance in it. Recensie

This is a terrific film that I enjoyed immensely. I never quite knew where it was going to go. Recensie

I really enjoyed this one. It was a real thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Recensie

As you might gather, I enjoyed this one however hard a watch it was in places. Well made and stuffed with interesting anecdotes and memories. Recensie

Rumours passed the 6-laugh test for me but comedy is very personal so you might sit their stony faced. Recensie

It’s a perfectly pleasant watch. But it’s not a hugely exciting watch. Recensie

This is a very well made and thought-provoking slice of Indian life. India is aiming to be a huge global super-power at some point, but this work of fiction, based on fact, ilustrates that they need to sort a lot of basic societal infrastructure out first before they can get there. Recensie

Like Santosa, this is a really interesting beast. A cross-genre busting effort that works more than it doesn’t work. I only wish the flabby elements had been tightened a bit, particularly in the 3rd act. But I think it’s well worth a watch though. Recensie

This is an adventurous film that doesn’t pull its sexual punches. I enjoyed it a lot but it outstayed its welcome with me and fell short of being the classic comedy-drama that it had ambition to be. Recensie

This film really did have its moments. But I have never been so lost by a movie. Recensie

From a film that I was really so-so about on going in, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this glimpse into Elton John’s career. It’s not just a fascinating tale, but a really well made film as well. Bravo! Recensie

A Vatican cardinal seems to be the role that Ralph Fiennes was born to play. His casting is simply perfect and his performance is nothing short of brilliant. Recensie

Whether the dry, and sometimes very dark, humour will appeal to you will determine your enjoyment. I was intrigued and, yes, I was entertained by it. But it is a real oddity. Recensie

It’s technically impressive and packs an emotional punch too at all the right moments. Recensie

This is an oddity and I’ve struggled to rate it. On the one hand it has some very odd and rough edges and a plot that barely makes any sense. But on the other, I had a good time watching this crazyness. I... Recensie

This one started strongly for me, then took a sharp turn into unpleasantness before ending on a whimper. Recensie

Dark and unexpected, this is an extremely well made, if depressing, movie from Todd Phillips. If you enjoyed Joker and want to go down to the next level of madness within Arthur Fleck’s mind, then you may enjoy this. Recensie
