Filmrecensies van Molly Freeman

Works as a modernized retelling of Dr. Seuss's classic, with some compelling tweaks to the story and characters for plenty of family fun. Recensie

Has all the elements of an earnest holiday movie with family-friendly fun, but is less than the sum of its parts. Recensie

A violent ride of a home invasion horror movie that puts its own stylistic spin on the genre, but doesn't fully rise above the pack. Recensie

Buoyed by strong performances, by Chris Pine in particular, but David Mackenzie's swords-and-mud epic is too plodding to be exciting. Recensie

Tackles serious issues of racism and police violence with unflinching honesty and a stunning lead performance by Amandla Stenberg. Recensie

Certainly a flawed superhero movie, but Tom Hardy's performances as Eddie Brock and Venom make for a fun and entertaining ride. Recensie

A deliciously entertaining, if sometimes slow, love letter to film noir from director Drew Goddard elevated by the cast. Recensie

Works well both as a stylish thriller with tense, horrific moments and as a feminist parable for the modern social media age. Recensie

A magical, kid-friendly horror flick with exceptionally fun performances by Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. Recensie

A delightfully twisty psychological thriller with compelling performances, and much of Paul Feig's humor, but little substance. Recensie

Attempts to be a modern and progressive teen rom-com, but tends to lean on the genre's regressive tropes too much. Recensie

Aims to be the misanthrope's rom-com, but despite the charm of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves, it's just plain unlikable. Recensie

Mines all its comedy from R-rated puppet antics and Melissa McCarthy's typical schtick, but the jokes quickly wear thin. Recensie

Offers a compelling, if low-budget psychological thriller that's elevated by the lead performances and a twist on a classic sci-fi premise. Recensie

A charming young adult romantic comedy that tells a sweet and joyful story of young love for modern audiences. Recensie

A spectacular, heartwarming instant classic of a romantic comedy that brings some much-needed representation to the genre. Recensie

A solid enough dystopian sci-fi YA adaptation, elevated by Amandla Stenberg's performance, but it won't revive this film trend. Recensie

Effectively balances buddy comedy with astute social commentary, providing fun and gut-wrenching anger and despair in equal measure. Recensie

An equally stylish sequel to Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington's action drama, but with fewer thrills and surprises. Recensie

Tries to balance drama and thrills with a sci-fi premise, but ultimately fails to deliver in this bland but beautiful apocalypse film. Recensie

A serviceable action vehicle for a charming Dwayne Johnson, but even he can’t save it from repetitive set pieces and a stale story. Recensie

A hilarious return to the shrinking heroes, but with elevated action and a heartfelt story, it's a well-rounded Marvel sequel. Recensie

Ambitiously pushes the envelope of the sci-fi and comedy genres for a wholly unique, refreshing and hilarious film. Recensie

Captures most of the fun of Pixar's The Incredibles, but feels somewhat outdated in the modern Hollywood landscape of superhero movies. Recensie
