Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

This beautiful cinematic piece enlightens, inspires, and entertains in equal measure. Review

Hawes did a wonderful job bringing Sir Winton’s inspiring story to life, the film is well-paced and the back-and-forth between the two timeless is done seamlessly. Review

Damsel is an entertaining action fantasy that manages to differentiate enough from its ilk. Review

Hirayama’s gentle and compassionate personality is perhaps an idealized version of a human being, but it’s lovely to see a film that celebrates kindness as we definitely need more of it in our world today. Review

It’s uneven and tonally all over the place but it’s an enjoyable and funny little movie with some interesting surprises along the way. Review

While personal finances aren’t the most enthralling subject matter, the doc is actually quite entertaining with some really wise tips to learn from. Review

It’s a mostly silent film so it’s a bit confusing as to what is going on, but it’s got quietly moving. Review

An exhilarating death-defying feat that’s powerful and inspiring. Review

Only Jason Momoa seems to be having fun and he’s the only watchable thing here. Review

Paul Dano is excellent and the movie is quite hilarious as well as eye-opening. Review

It’s truly a masterclass in worldbuilding, every single detail is meticulously crafted to submerse us in its mythology. Review

It’s certainly one of the most provocative and thought-provoking films of the year, a totally visceral experience that’s hard to shake. Review

At a little over two hours, the film felt a bit long and dragged a bit, but the subject matter was so fascinating that it retained my interest. Review

This documentary was so well-edited, well-paced, and immensely entertaining that I definitely don’t mind watching it again. Review

If you’re looking for an entertaining, dynamic original indie movie with equal action and heart, then you can’t go wrong with Marmalade. Review

The film just isn’t entertaining to me, not even a glint of joy as Coppola drenched it in gloom and melancholy. Review

Gripping, and emotional but with well-timed moments of levity, Vasarhelyi and Chin definitely do Nyad’s incredible story justice! Review

Can’t say I’m clamoring for more of this type of risible spy thriller that’s absurdly expensive to make with not much to show for it. Review

This is the most inept, boring, pointless movie… not sure why people even compliment the visuals as it’s visually garish + ugly! Review

The subject matter is so fascinating that it deserves a much more compelling movie! Review

Mélanie Laurent directs and stars in this French action comedy… the tone is a bit off but manages to still be quite entertaining thanks to exhilarating high-octane action and the fun chemistry of the female cast, notably Adèle Exarchopoulos. Review

Overall I find it more enjoyable than Ferrari and the racing scenes, including the crashes, are well-staged, it uses CGI in an effective way to showcase the video game elements that enhance its storytelling. Review

I was expecting a silly fish-out-of-water (well, a lizard-out-of-its-terrarium in this case) comedy, but LEO turns out to be quite a gem of a movie about unlikely friendships, loyalty, and aging gracefully, plus there are some life lessons delivered in a fun but endearing way. Review

It’s a well-acted two-hander starring Sarsgaard and the always-watchable Jessica Chastain, Memory is a deeply layered and moving drama about past trauma and finding connection when you least expect it. Review
