Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

The Duke is both a surprising true story, and an ultimately heartwarming nostalgia tale, that may very well steal your heart. Recensie

Heartwarming, funny and surprising, Dog defies expectations. Recensie

Book of Love is trite and cliche, but there’s a kernel of something here that keeps you smiling and enjoying yourself. Recensie

Dinklage gives a nuanced performance that, despite his inability to match his co-stars in singing talent, brings pathos and warmth to this tragic romance. Recensie

A fun, fizzy action-adventure that disperses with an attempt at being anything other than a trashy popcorn flick. Recensie

Rom-coms don’t come much more ridiculous, cliched or chemistry-lacking than Marry Me; but despite all that, it’s a hard movie not to fall in love with. Recensie

A sumptuous return for Poirot, with a glittery cast, gorgeous set design, and a take on the classic mystery that will satisfy any classic Agatha Christie fans in the audience. Recensie

Better than some of Neeson’s recently laissez-faire fare, this actioner is still an unsubtle, poorly paced and ill-conceived deep state thriller. Recensie

Batshit insane, this two-bit disaster movie is slapped together so haphazardly as to not only be boring, seizure-inducing and garish, but indeed an insult to cinema-going audiences worldwide. Recensie

A brutal and gripping story of a Kosovan woman trying to survive the loss of her husband, and start a business in a village where women aren’t typically allowed to work. Recensie

Fun as a guilty pleasure, but this trash-lit adaptation is rote as they come in the age of streaming services. Recensie

A distinctly Amoldovarian film, giving us a look at the legacy of Spanish fascism, while also providing an emotional and thrilling drama. Recensie

A beautiful movie, musing on the importance and extent of family. Much like family, though at times the film may frustrate, ultimately you feel more fully realised and whole on leaving the cinema than on entering. Recensie

A captivating performance from Kristen Stewart anchors a beautifully presented, but ultimately heartbreaking tale. Recensie

Great action, strong characters and an intoxicating sense of fun make The 355 the perfect popcorn film to catch this summer. Recensie

A somewhat disappointing entry into the franchise, The King’s Man squanders a beautiful middle act to deliver a derivative ending. Recensie

A perfectly serviceable, but uninspired, adaptation of the broadway musical. Recensie

An uncomfortable, but also frequently humorous watch, that struggles to assert itself as compelling viewing despite some strong performances. Recensie

Anchored by a tremendous performance from Will Smith, this heartfelt, engaging, funny and enjoyable biopic is a joy to watch. Recensie

Paul Thomas Anderson does it once again; a funny, heartfelt and emotional coming of age story that succeeds on every level. Recensie

House of Gucci is undeniably a good film; it’s just a little too bland, a little too safe, and a lot too long to be truly great. Recensie

A movie that fundamentally comes off as bland, derivative and boring; all the more cutting given the inventive, cutting and wildly strong start. Recensie

Anderson aficionados are unlikely to mark this as a high point in the auteurs oeuvre. Recensie

Don’t Look Up is a comedy that, despite general enjoyment, never really generates any belly laughs in amongst its heavy handed preaching. Recensie
