Filmrecensies van Alex Brannan

A spectacle piece that eschews depth of storytelling for visual depth. Pine and Pugh, although both performing at the top of their game, have little to work with within this structure. Recensie

The experiential nature of the flight sequences is raw and glorious, and the climax is worth the wait. Recensie

A great Halloween film. It feels like the heart of fall, when pumpkins glow and shadows make one take pause. At its best, the eerie mood pulls you in and makes you believe that it is October 31st... Recensie

Takes an ambitious concept and spreads it thin over a 140-minute runtime. Recensie

As much as this might clash with its ethereal beginnings, both provide intriguing filmmaking from an authentic creative voice. Recensie

The film hits a roadblock quickly. Instead of swerving around it, it rams straight into it. Recensie

It isn’t a platform from which a truly noteworthy movie can emerge. Recensie

Dickey’s performance permeates life across every frame. And Blaze doesn’t require much more than that to be enthralling. Recensie

No one is interesting. Nothing is novel. 90 minutes pass by unimpeded by fear or intrigue. Recensie

It is more harm than good. Recensie

The film is like Spring Breakers meets The Purge but with more on its mind. Yet its ultimate message does not live up to its lofty satiric ambitions. Recensie

Armed with a well-known, inherently engaging story. But it doesn’t do much with it. Recensie

An entirely adequate horror-fantasy adventure for children. Recensie

It is sharply written and packed with tense emotions. When the film is not directly informed by Close’s performance, however, it quickly loses its way. Recensie

Not a good film, per se. In some instances, it is barely coherent. But it is an experience, one that kept me rapt until the very end. Recensie

More of a comedy than the sci-fi-horror-action hybrid that the franchise is known for. And most of this comedy is groan-worthy, at best. Recensie

Comes off as a derivative true crime film that has been filled to the brim with acting talent to hide the fact that the characters have no character to them. Recensie

An intriguing comic design that yields some smirks, but in total it is a comedy of absurdist pretension with much more bark than bite. Recensie

It all reeks of a certain stock and trade, one in which the audience expects little enough that anything above mediocre will suffice. Recensie

Not entirely unwatchable, but entirely unremarkable. Recensie

A fascinating examination of modern day criminal detection. Recensie

It is clear that, structurally, Kin is a disaster. What it does have going for it is fairly decent acting. Recensie

Puzzle is an insular drama with an interesting protagonist. Recensie

Makes for an interesting concept ill-serviced by under-cooked plotting. Recensie
