Movie reviews of Niels Matthijs

An absolute stunner, an audiovisual experience that dragged me into its world and didn't let go until the final frame faded and the last note died. Review

While Left Bank may not be the most daring of films, the execution is pretty flawless, something that is absolutely key for a solid genre film... Review

It's different, fun, it looks great and its overall very creative. Review

The pacing, the visual quality and the kick-ass lead character make it very easy to forget about these minor quirks. Review

Once Gojira awakes there's still plenty of massive and all-destructive chaos to look forward to. Review

A pretty short film that does well highlighting Miki's unique brand of comedy. Review

It's moody and stylish but also grim and harsh when needed, while strong camera work, a solid cast and a unique blend of familiar elements sets it apart from its peers. Review

A stylish, smart and balanced Triad film, sporting a great cast, a characteristic soundtrack, a couple of witty setups and a fulfilling finale. Review

On the flipside, it's a wonderfully stylized, strongly realized and often completely baffling film that has both heart and brains and lacks any kind of commercial filter. Review

The actors are on point, the film looks great and there's a lot of fun to be had, especially whenever the films endorses its own mean streak. Review

By far one of the better Japanese investigation thrillers, then again the competition isn't all that stiff. Review

May have lost some of its initial appeal, but what remains is an incredibly slick, funny and unique film. Review

The film is a visual wonder that offers plenty of entertainment. Review

It's a superb genre film, but at the same time it also plays around with genre clicheacute's quite deliberately. Review

Dense, chaotic and exhausting, fueled by strong camera work, slick editing and perfect pacing. Review

It references the original material without outright copying it, it builds upon the original while also making sure the directors are allowed to make the material their own. Review

It's more of the same of course, just 130 minutes of that same fun, entertaining and surprising comedy that makes Miike films such unique experiences. Review

It's something completely unique, incredibly tricky to describe and pretty much impossible to forget. Review

Offers a pretty fresh take on the genre, even though individual genre elements remain very familiar. Review

Remains a fun, entertaining and dashing little film. Review

When you're longing for craft, wit and passion then Anderson's latest has you covered. Review

It's big, bold and visibly backed by a sizeable budget, but at the same time it also feels original and creative... Review

It's lush looking, well acted, aptly scored and surprising at every turn. Review

It's raw, brutal and disturbing, but always with a twist and executed to perfection. Review
