Filmrecensies van Dan Santos

It strikes up a balance between tension and tenderness, dreaminess and dreariness that tonally works. It is not always easy to watch, but one cannot help but admire the depth of its honesty. Recensie

But, for those willing to eschew conventional narratives or neat endings, his visions so far are both provocative and thought-provoking. Recensie

This is masterful storytelling told by a modern master – a story about the times, for the times. Recensie

It is a tepid, derivative end to a second chapter that did not feel that much different from the first. Recensie

Aster is striving to reinvigorate horror, and his sophomoric effort firmly consolidates his talent. Recensie

Thunder Road is an affecting and immensely empathetic portrayal of someone coping with grief and struggling to forge ahead — and, ultimately, contains much that should resonate with all of us... Recensie

The cinematography visually complements this – with its lingering gaze it too seems to gesture towards the motives and feelings which go unrecognised, unspoken, unexpressed. Recensie

The layered screenplay – and Cedergren’s skill in finding shades – means that the film presents a compelling, multi-faceted character through which to tell the story. Recensie

What anchors the film is Labaki’s unwavering direction. Grounded, raw and empathetic, Labaki infuses every scene with a commitment to honesty. Recensie

The film’s critical tone becomes increasingly provocative and incendiary as the plot becomes more and more outlandish. Recensie

Beguilingly nostalgic in its simplicity and hushed colour palette, the camera maintains a steady gaze on its subjects, often trained on lingering close-ups. It only enhances Wildlife’s compassionate storytelling, and lends the film a wistful atmosphere. Recensie

The resonances are both striking and sobering. Recensie

Her Joan is far too complex to be cast as merely a victim, and through her measured and masterful portrayal Close proves, yet again, that she is one of the greats. Recensie

A solidly crafted documentary, and a worthy cinematic celebration of its subject. Recensie

Works as an engaging, solidly crafted action film. Recensie

The film should be applauded – for its distinct vision, its technical prowess and its uncompromising artistic integrity... Recensie

A quietly mesmerizing, fluid whole. Recensie

At its core is an interesting premise, but Whannell does not do enough to distinguish it or its execution in more unique ways. Recensie

The jokes fly thick and fast, from those at the expense of rival movies to those about studios Fox and Marvel, along with a healthy dose of self-deprecation. Recensie

While there are moving, gently enthralling moments, these moments are unfortunately undermined by a plot which is too sparse... Recensie

A minimalist reverie. I... Recensie

Entertaining and accomplished, but it is nothing ground-breaking or innovative... Recensie

The performances flesh out the film’s themes with shaded complexity, and they give Three Billboards its warmth, depth and humanity. Recensie

Formidable, moving film-making. Recensie
