Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

This doc is fascinating to me as I grew up listening to David Foster’s music... Review

Completely riddled with clichés, implausible (unfunny) situations, and an awful plot that puts a sour taste in your mouth. I don’t normally like to say a movie is rubbish, especially one directed by a woman, but this one is a real travesty. Review

The script could’ve originated from a play, which could’ve worked better in that format, but here it feels pointless and boring. Review

It was worth watching for the cast and I’m even more convinced Mackey has that star quality just like her ‘twin’ Margot Robbie. Review

It’s pretty average and forgettable, definitely not as innovative as other Illumination Studios,... Review

In the end, Mangold + co aren’t reinventing the wheel here, the movie mostly serves as a tribute to the legendary whip-cracking archaeologist with his last, rip-roaring adventure. Review

The result is a pretty visually arresting film though not as groundbreaking as it likes to be. Surely it’s an affecting human story about love and survival that’s well-worth telling. Review

Never has something so low-key hit me like a ton of bricks. I was transfixed by its soulful and elegant simplicity where less is definitely more. Review

I truly adore the whole playful vibe of the movie–the infectious energy, dynamic camerawork, colorful clothes, and lively music make for such a fun and enjoyable ride. Review

Elemental fuses stunning animation and a potent emotional story that provides insights into human nature. It made me laugh, cry, and in complete awe of the beauty and power of storytelling. Review

As fun as those two Batmen and the plethora of cameos, they cannot make up for a passable story. Review

The setup promises a rollicking ruse but the script is seriously lacking wit, it seems lazily put together. Few thrills, even fewer laughs, and a whole bunch of nonsense. Review

The production quality is amazing, with breathtaking day and night photography and sweeping aerial shots of the valley. The valley is simply majestic, highly recommend this for any animal/nature fans. Review

I like the naturalistic style of the dialog and the way writer/director Katharina Woll presents the narrative in her debut feature. Review

There are some historical inaccuracies as well as artistic liberties taken, but I believe Williams does Chevalier’s story justice overall. It does leave me wanting more, but I suppose that is a good thing as we should be compelled to seek out and appreciate his work that was erased by history. Review

Overall though, it’s a zippy, entertaining, and emotionally bittersweet ride fueled with a sense of loyalty and familial devotion. Review

This is a deliriously entertaining movie with a female-empowerment message about kicking down stifling religious traditions and the patriarchy. Review

Kudos to director Emer Reynolds and writer Ailbhe Keogan for tackling mature and dark themes without making the film morose or depressing. On the contrary, there are plenty of moments of levity and hopefulness. Review

Through time-lapse and stunning underwater photography, we get an eye-opening look at what’s happening to our ocean’s backbone without descending into a politicized debate about climate change. Review

The premise is absolutely fascinating and it’s highly entertaining as well as educational. Review

Idris Elba’s always been a charismatic actor and he’s so perfect in this role of a brilliant but flawed detective. Review

Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, and Jason Bateman are a lot of fun to watch as three friends who conspire to murder their awful bosses... Review

Härö has truly crafted a poignant and achingly moving tale of love and loss. I have to say I connect more to this story than with The Banshees movie. Review

Though her direction may be lacking in nuances, the movie has so much heart and showcases her flair for tackling comedy. Review
