Filmrecensies van Alex Brannan

Uninspired: the setting, the score, the story, and the climax. Recensie

Denies us access to its protagonist and weaves a story that actively hides what is most interesting. Recensie

A gaudy neon mess of epically tone deaf proportions, and there is no use wasting any more time discussing it. Recensie

With an epic scale on a tight runtime, Dunkirk is efficient storytelling at its finest. Recensie

Grotesque to the nth degree. Recensie

Vibrant and bright, throwing science fiction imagery in our faces until the cows come home. But it could use more than that. Recensie

Wish Upon is starvation. It is the conscious lack of sustenance. Recensie

Has a surprising amount of depth in its storytelling... Recensie

A tonally pitch perfect comedy... Recensie

An entertaining and lively entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recensie

A woven artifice of suspense-devoid “twists” and “turns”... Recensie

The humor is humorous. The emotional moments pull at the heartstrings. Recensie

A light dramedy with a lot of weight behind its characters. Recensie

Attractive to look at, so much so that it becomes hard to see the film for its narrative. Recensie

You may laugh once or twice, but the film itself is doomed to a future of cable airplay and obscurity. Recensie

Each frame and sonic moment provides the viewer a new morsel from which entertainment can be gleaned. Recensie

Still indicative of Amirpour’s keen eye and unique form of genre hybridity but lacking the focus and power of her first work. Recensie

The comedy is crass and brash to no payoff, the characters fade in and out as necessary with little depth, and the story pushes on for 40 minutes too long... Recensie

The overall themes of the film do not play out as strongly as the isolated moments. Recensie

In spite of a great performance from Gurira the film is too messy from a narrative standpoint to truly encapsulate the essence of Tupac Shakur. Recensie

But the film takes its chances. When these chances work, they work. When they don’t, at least the screenwriters go all out. Recensie

Offends the intelligence of its viewers with blank characters and obvious scripting. Recensie

Occasional moments of situational humor work well, but these come off as exceptions more than anything else. Recensie

The major narrative throughline is a strong and heartfelt story. Unfortunately, it is brought down by the numerous things surrounding it. Recensie
