Filmrecensies van Ben Kendrick

Memorable and downright challenging, full of sharp performances that blur the lines between humanity and programming... Recensie

A jumbled mix of clever ideas but overstuffed with distracting pop songs... Recensie

Falls short of hitting the bar set by superior YA film adaptations but is a step in the right direction for the Divergent series... Recensie

Branagh does little to update the core storyline for modern moviegoers, successfully replicating the source material for live-action – both the good and the bad. Recensie

An inventive and noteworthy entry in Blomkamp’s filmography. Recensie

A hybrid con-drama that, even if it’s not the smartest or most innovative film, finds a fresh angle to explore the drawbacks of confidence (wo)man life. Recensie

A successful adaptation – and should provide entertaining (and relatable) viewing for its intended audience. Recensie

Successfully balances a hefty amount of world-building, humor, action, and character drama into a tight two hour runtime... Recensie

An entertaining watch – despite a number of noticeable shortcomings. Recensie

Does not reinvent the found footage format, the movie still manages to tell a gripping (and stylish) time travel story. Recensie

Beats out many of 2014’s best dramedies in sheer laugh-out-loud moments. Recensie

Every aspect of Taken 3 (from the performances, the story, and the action) is uninspired... Recensie

Fails to adequately develop on a single setup... Recensie

An overall enchanting and entertaining musical experience for all ages. Recensie

A passionate and uncompromising look at mental illness in the face of unexplainable forces. Recensie

Quvenzhané Wallis checks-off all prerequisites for a likable portrayal of Annie... Recensie

A palatable mix of action, drama, and theological ruminating worthy of casual film viewing. Recensie

Essential viewing for anyone that is already committed to The Hunger Games films. Recensie

A harmless but completely unnecessary sequel... Recensie

A thought-provoking piece of science fiction. Recensie

The filmmaker was clearly striking for a deeper character story but whittled his final project down to a surface-level “whodunnit?”... Recensie

A thought-provoking and inventive exploration of artistry, family, the difference between power, popularity, and prestige... Recensie

A competent film, and a great platform for Duvall to shine, but falls short in being very memorable... Recensie

An intriguing central mystery, rounded characters, and sharp social commentary. Recensie
