Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

The New Boy might not be a feel-good summer movie, but there are moments of levity that I didn’t expect. The slow pace can be challenging, and the story certainly challenges our perspectives about themes that are difficult to reconcile with... Recensie

Most of the humor doesn’t land, while some of the action scenes are unintentionally hilarious, such as the shootouts at the pyramids. Recensie

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life makes it an ideal rom-com for me, as it’s not formulaic like a Hallmark or Netflix rom-com. Recensie

It has its flaws, but undeniably, this franchise is the pinnacle of action movies and cements Cruise’s legacy as the quintessential action star that spans generations. Recensie

The mystery about who Ifans’ character is rather predictable as the movie went on, but the twists and turns were still fun to follow. Recensie

It’s my kind of horror movie, nary of unnecessary gore or cheap jump scares, but haunting in the best possible way. Recensie

I’d say Thunderbolts* is the best movie of Phase 5 of the MCU. Recensie

At nearly two hours long, this heist dramedy can drag a bit, but the committed cast keeps it engaging. Recensie

I wouldn’t say the movie is more style than substance, but the eye-catching visuals, where some of the realms are realized with matte paintings, are definitely the movie’s strongest asset. Recensie

The King of Kings has the power to inspire future movie audiences with its enduring themes of redemption, grace, and forgiveness. Recensie

The Last Journey is one of the funniest, most joyful, and life-affirming films I’ve seen this year... Recensie

Even amidst such devastation, the film isn’t all gloom and doom; there are plenty of humorous moments sprinkled throughout. Recensie

Bauer’s story is incredible, and Josefin Neldén delivers a captivating performance as the lead. Unfortunately, Frida Kempff’s biopic is plagued by slow pacing and overly dark cinematography. Recensie

This movie wouldn’t have worked without a compelling lead who’s easy to root for, but thankfully, Landman skillfully sticks the landing! Recensie

A chilling cautionary tale about the power of illusory truth and political propaganda that can drive friends, and even family members, to turn on each other. Recensie

Hawes may not be an action director, but he definitely knows how to build tension effectively when it counts, without going overboard. Recensie

This production went beyond mere entertainment; it conveyed a profound message about love, the importance of free expression, and how artists serve as warriors and advocates for what truly enriches our lives. Recensie

While it has its flaws, I’m still impressed and quite entertained by LUZ, and I’m glad I got to enjoy it on the big screen. Lau is a talented and creative filmmaker, so I’m looking forward to her next project, hoping it strikes a better balance between a compelling story and stunning visuals. Recensie

Bound in Heaven is one of the most emotionally powerful and romantic films I’ve watched in ages. Recensie

While there are things I enjoy about The Friend, my main issue is that the movie overstays its welcome, and my sympathy for the characters fades as it drags on needlessly. Recensie

The pacing is solid, able to keep my attention for nearly two hours. Recensie

It’s a heart-wrenching film to be sure, but I don’t think it’s as perfect as some made it out to be. Recensie

It’s watchable for Jones and terrific supporting performances from Connie Britton, Zach Galifianakis, and Danny Ramirez. Recensie

There are some funny and heartfelt scenes between the two, but overall, the script meanders and the movie goes longer than it needs to be. Recensie
