Filmrecensies van Konstantinos Pappis

These intriguing implications are underplayed and underdeveloped, and the film does not find any balance between psychology and the mystery in the narrative.

A promising debut full of confidence, a puzzle carefully constructed that’s equally approachable.

Very enjoyable in its unpretentiousness.

It’s less “from nothing comes a king” and more “from nothing comes nothing”...

Fun, purely and simply, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s more than just watchable, almost certainly moving, possibly insightful and, 70 years later after the political developments it depicts, frighteningly relevant.

Very hard to connect with. And it’s a shame, because when it comes to the monsters, it’s a pretty good monster movie.

This is a portrait of a person, not a subject or an issue.

Far from perfect, but it’s hard not to praise it for being infectiously stylish, uncompromising, and different.

But if terrific dialogue and superb acting are enough for you to be captivated, this is a near perfect film.

Most of the time, it may lack in cinematic or artistic vision, but this is overshadowed by a wholly extraordinary story.

But for both fans and non-fans, for kids and adults, The LEGO Batman Movie is more than just fun.

Lacks any of the nuances or political undertones of its predecessor. Other than that, though, it’s quite an entertaining ride.

Undoubtedly entertaining, consistently watchable and well-shot.

Highlights the inevitable fragility of the human condition, no matter the social or historical circumstances.

Structured like a fairy tale, but it feels very much real. It’s undeniably going to move you to tears, and perhaps even inspire you.

It puts you through hell. In many ways, the execution of its ideas is nearly great.

Pure magic, a film about artists and love that combines dreams and reality without undermining either.

It’s a wonderfully moving film, too, at times unbearably so. If anything, it’s bound to touch some heart strings.

However overly familiar its rise-fall-return narrative, it’s still an entertaining addition to the genre.

Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival is mind-bending, thoughtful, intimate, and his most hopeful film to date.

Overall, there are things to like, but the film’s great potential is ultimately lost.

Not only sensitive and compelling, but also one of the best modern teen films.
