Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

I can’t say the movie is enjoyable to watch and at the end I was questioning what the whole point was. Still, I think it’s a remarkable feature debut from Lauren Hadaway... Recensie

It’s not a perfect movie but as an immigrant, there’s plenty here to relate to and reflect on so it’s well worth a watch. Nana Mensah is so talented as the writer/director AND star, I’m curious to see what else she’ll do in the future! Recensie

Well, the premise is pretty funny and of course the idea of matchmaking is inherently amusing. Recensie

George MacKay is quite good here and able to hold his own against veteran actor Jeremy Irons as Chamberlain. I’m also impressed with German actor Jannis Niewöhner here. Recensie

The documentary was eye-opening in terms of her relationship with her movie star sister Joan and her life in Hollywood. Recensie

Well it was promising at first but it’s impossible to relate to any of the characters and the ending was so meh! Recensie

It was enjoyable seeing Hardy having so much fun in this role! Recensie

It’s a sweet, quirky road movie with a joyful music to accompany the entire ride. Recensie

Despite the ensemble cast filled with some of the funniest comediennes, there are so few funny moments here, mostly cringe-worthy ones actually. Recensie

Drive My Car is a thought-provoking ride that’s enthralling in its quiet intensity. There’s a lot of unpack here that leaves me ruminating even days after I watched it. Recensie

There’s such beauty in simplicity, as well as brevity… at just 72 minutes long, Sciamma created a spellbinding movie that packs an emotional punch. Recensie

Overall I had a blast with this one and enjoyed it even more than the first movie. Recensie

Atlantics is a gorgeous, poetic, mesmerizing film that really lingers long after the end credits. I’m glad the film is on Netflix so I can easily rewatch it soon. Recensie

I enjoyed the film despite my qualms about Miranda’s directing style. The inherently theatrical approach and editing style gets in the way a bit of the story, so tick, tick…BOOM! is far from being my favorite musicals. Still, I’m glad I saw it and Garfield’s astounding performance alone made this well worth a watch. Recensie

T’s an engaging directorial debut that balances heavy themes with a kid’s innocence and wide-eyed wonder. At a time where superhero movies dominate cinematic content, it’s refreshing to see an ordinary boy being the hero of his own story. Recensie

The Lost Daughter is a bold and even defiant film that tackles a taboo subject that’s rarely depicted on screen. Recensie

The Power of The Dog is one of the most potent and haunting psychological drama that really gets under my skin. Recensie

Setting the story of a malfunctioning digital device in the form of a cute bubble bot is so clever and hits so close to home even for adults like me. Recensie

Michael Sarnoski is a filmmaker to watch in his feature directorial debut. I like his story telling style that takes its time in the way it reveals the character’s journey, and the payoff in the end is an emotional one. Recensie

This one was enjoyable, I guess I didn’t expect too much out of his action flicks and I always find him watchable despite the movie’s flaws. Recensie

Quite a disappointment from Matthew Vaughn as I enjoyed the first two Kingsman movies. Recensie

Overall it has enough going for it to make for a good family movie, but doesn’t have enough oomph to make it a classic. Recensie

The Tragedy of Macbeth exceeds my expectations in every respect and definitely one of the absolute best films of the year. Recensie

One thing for sure, I spent a great deal of time being discombobulated or bored, there were barely any uplifting moments that got me engaged or made me want to cheer. Recensie
