Movie reviews of Niels Matthijs

It's creepy, it's dark and tense from start to finish. The acting is top notch, the characters are interesting and the film looks and sounds great. Review

A pretty great film, but some familiarity with the director will definitely help you to appreciate it to its fullest. Review

Impeccable styling, solid acting and a unique balance of drama and mystery. Review

Walks a fine line between accomplished cinema and maverick nihilism and succeeds with deceptive ease. Review

Kawamori presents a worthy and classy tribute to the genius of Miyazawa... Review

Witty, smart, well-made, pure and most of all unique. Review

Looks astounding, Itoh's source material is handled with the proper respect and so is the audience. Review

It's somewhat of a mess of influences, but the film itself always feels coherent and solid. Review

It's quite black and deadpan, also a little absurd, but never as extreme as seen in Ming-liang Tsai's films. Review

A simple romance about two people who are behaving like alternating magnets. Review

A bit too outrageous for commercial audiences and a smidge too extreme for your classic arthouse fan. Review

Brutal, action-packed and a bit mad in the head. Review

A very fun, diverse and surprising collection of shorts. Review

You have to appreciate a special kind of weird to like a film like this... Review

The narrative isn't exactly complex, but there's a lot of it and the film packs a couple of nice twists to boot. Review
