Filmrecensies van Filipe Freitas

It is a simply told, beautifully composed piece of work in which the black-and-white cinematography by Lukasz Zal enhances the dramatic tones of a decadent and ultimately tragic romance. Recensie

Beautifully shot, this character study fascinates in an almost perverse way, building up adequate levels of tension throughout and bursting with disturbing scenes of violence. It is also a tale of solitude, equally tragic and funny, heavy and whimsical. Recensie

A flimsy Western comedy with monotonous, thinly written characters, pointless dialogue, and unsatisfactory conclusions. Recensie

Pelted with tragicomic scenes, Thunder Road, an acceptably funny slice of comic drama, depicts anxious times by carrying a furious tone and bitter pathos. Recensie

Even if the deadpan humor doesn’t always triumph, there is some mordant social commentary expressed with a satirical posture, which sort of replaces it. Recensie

The resplendent soundtrack and the naturalistic performances make a significant contribution to the success of this achingly poignant meditation on passion, in its strangest forms. Recensie

Not perfect but does what the good horror movies do, relying on suspense and tension to deeply involve the viewer. Hence, prepare to be disturbed. Recensie

Despite the predictable ending and a bashful posture, there are emotions running steadily, and the hope of a happy future ultimately makes us enjoy a drama film that also serves as a showcase for King’s estimable acting capabilities. Recensie

While the talented director keeps the things flowing with the appropriate amount of tension, the lead actors respond with absolute brilliance. Recensie

The only reason to watch The Kindergarten Teacher is Ms. Gyllenhaal’s performance, whose quality makes us resist until it’s possible. Recensie

Has the proper mood but, regardless the different styles, couldn’t surpass the adrenaline infusion of The Raid installments, Evans’ true specialty. Recensie

A word of praise for the energetic performances from Washington and Driver and the awesome score by jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard. Recensie

Chaganty wanted his film to look intelligently cryptic, but what he achieved was just completely muddled. Moreover, the storyline is naive, contrived, and ultimately nonsensical, all aggravated by the utterly unconvincing performances from Cho and Messing. Recensie

The magnificent score by Justin Hurwitz enhances the floating sensations of a different gravitational acceleration and combines in perfection with Lindus Sandgren’s detailed cinematography. Recensie

The script, smartly and carefully written by Burnham, carries all the sensibility to depict Millennials in a way that is simultaneously funny, unnerving, miserably heartbroken, and honest. It definitely rang true to me. Recensie

The film didn’t touch me in the heart, presenting more inept than satisfactory moments, both drama and music-wise. Recensie

The low-key temperament of the storytelling and the authenticity of the performances are strong elements of a subtle and intelligent film that captures our attention from the very first minute. Recensie

Even though it's all too gut-wrenching and sunless, kudos to a fast and furious Cage, who returns from the dead with an insatiable appetite for vindictiveness. Recensie

If the story is thoughtful and promising, then the editing needed some polishing to avoid unconsidered cuts and precipitate image transitions contrasting clumsily with the sluggish development. Recensie

A powerful encounter of hip-hop music - somewhat displaced and too calculated here - and the racial complications that keep saddening America and the world. Recensie

Its mysterious ways, bolstered with a bit of psychedelic surrealism, makes it notable. Recensie

This blockbuster satisfies in its purpose but doesn’t earn the title of ‘impossible to miss’. Recensie

The complexities do not always succeed, but, as a character study, the film poses some interesting points of view... Recensie

This somewhat cheesy crowd-pleaser offers a great deal of neurotic gossip addressed with annoying pomposity and superfluous multi-cultural fashion. Recensie
