Filmrecensies van Kenny Howell

Great performances help cover up a sitcomy approach in this series about a teenager with autism.

The movie is overly violent, really silly, and occasionally fun.

Stupid. Luckily, it works because it is, not really caring about the plot...

A great inciting incident and premise that takes the characters to inventively dark places.

It just leaves it feeling overwhelmingly muddled and a bit of a missed opportunity.

Something unique, a voice we don't normally see in TV, and they have set themselves up for something pretty spectacular going forward.

It is just a blast at times, even when things just seem a bit too convenient to make the plan work.

Isn't an amazing film by any means, but it does create a sense of wonder.

A kaleidoscope about life and death, and all the people surrounding this one event, that is tragic for one, but wondrous for another.

Another solid story adapted from Atwood's work.

The cast is good, and they probably elevate the source material, which seems a bit trite.

Places itself among the great family dramas of American cinema...

David Lowery digs himself in a hole, but somehow finds his way out in enchanting ways in this bizarre ghost story.

A solid, promising first season, bolstered by some great performances led by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

An interesting look at how these kids handle themselves on that day...

Wants to be a period piece about a brothel in 18th century, but it also wants to be a contemporary, trashy soap opera...

Really sold by the amazing cast involved.

A very pleasant surprise on the Netflix release schedule.

A chore to watch because it is so intense...

It does a lot of things well, and even though this works as a film on its own, it has also set up a pretty promising conclusion.

Coltrane and Walters are terrific as the married couple...

All pretty much standard fare for this series, with long, boring sequences in between...

Endless battles with prehistoric, crazy beasts. That is all fine and well...

This should be a lot more fun than it is, but it never really gets over that hump despite some good things in place.
