Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

Gorgeously shot, remarkably tense and undeniably intriguing, Conclave is a masterpiece. Recensie

A serviceable match, but ultimately there’s no ace in this interesting documentary that breaks no new ground. Recensie

Some fun action moments give this otherwise sluggish action thriller a much needed boost. Recensie

Just as chaotic as the rest of this franchise, although never quite realising the fun of the first instalment, Venom: The Last Dance ushers out this character with a whimper, not a howl. Recensie

This snapshot of Lee Miller’s life is curiously unaffecting at times, but certainly has elements to keep you interested. Recensie

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is a uniquely insightful piece of filmmaking. It’ll break your heart and fill you with hope, but in doing so makes itself unmissable viewing on the big screen. Recensie

It’s tough to get a handle on who this movie is for. The last one might have been polarising, but it was also fantastic. This one seems intent on pleasing nobody; and takes its bloody time doing so! Recensie

My Old Ass is a very sweet and lovable film that will have you feeling all the feels. Recensie

Harold and the Purple Crayon feels like an episode of a kids TV show, not a film. It’s largely unwatchable. Recensie

Gorgeous cinematography, a wonderfully inventive cast of characters, and a story that will have you in tears, make The Wild Robot a runaway win. Recensie

Transformers One muddles through a slow first half hour, only to absolutely kick off in the back half with an edge-of-your-seat hero and villain origin story that is way better than it has any right to be. Recensie

Alongside a manic turn from James McAvoy, Speak No Evil (a remake of a Danish original) brings the tense scares, but sidesteps much of the more ‘out there’ elements of its predecessor. Recensie

Suitably zany, but remarkably overcrowded, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a good bit of late-80’s fun stuffed full with Netflix-level teenage angst. Recensie

Hinckley: I Shot The President threads a fine needle around a man for whom one terrible, violent action defined his life, and does so in a way that’s thoroughly engaging. Recensie

A beautifully meditative movie that explores lost connections across age gaps, cultures and continents. Recensie

With some fantastic visuals and great twists, Blink Twice is a thrilling exploration of memory as weapon amidst the bored ultra-rich. Recensie

And The Ocean Agreed deals with a challenging topic with nuance and skill, coupled with wonderful visuals and some strong performances. Recensie

A return to form per se for the Alien franchise; this new iteration brings the claustrophobic scares. Recensie

A uniquely romance mired amidst a relatively tightrope-walking depiction of domestic violence, It Ends With Us is, if anything, a star vehicle for the fantastic Blake Lively. Recensie

This middling, ambling cold case thriller apes Memento, without ever really coming close to being compelling viewing. Recensie

Bloody, violent, swear-word filled action that threads a barely there plot with constant and consistent laugh-out-loud moments. Recensie

This hard-rocking, fist-pumping, cheese-filled actioner takes itself a little too seriously and a little too sciency to truly be great, but whenever Glen Powell is on screen, it feels like it has the energy to fight a twister with its bare knuckles. Recensie

It might be slightly saccharine, but this lunar-themed rom-com has enough fuel to get it to the moon and back. Recensie

Perhaps not quite as stressful or menacing as it could be, The Bikeriders is nevertheless propulsive viewing thanks to a trio of stand-out performances among a cast of uniformly fantastic ones. Recensie
