Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

This is a profoundly moving, poignant and unforgettable film. Recensie

I thought this was a fun and entertaining comedy animation from Dreamworks. Definitely a crowd-pleasing hit. Recensie

It’s a brilliant documentary showing the live of these two brave scientists. But the voiceover really irritated the hell out of me. Recensie

It’s OK, and intriguing in places. And it kept me entertained for its (very sensible) 100 minute running time. So it’s better Shyamalan, but not classic Shyamalan. Recensie

I really enjoyed this. A lovely slice of absurd British comedy with – bullying family aside – has a rich vein of warm-heartedness running through it that I found infectious. Recensie

This is another of those B-Movies that comes as a really nice surprise. Clever, well-paced and with multiple cunning twists, I can see this thriller being a solid-gold hit with audiences. Recensie

I’ve seen worse action pics, but this formulaic offering is not going to last in the memory longer than it takes to say “Fasten your seat belts and f****** keep them fastened”! Recensie

This is a really enjoyable Spielberg semi-autobiographical film. Recensie

This is a really interesting work. A work that delves into a difficult and unaddressed world affecting a small, but still important, proportion of the population. Charlie is one of the most interesting characters we are likely to see on the screen this year... Recensie

In summary, this is a really great courtroom drama, and highly recommended. Recensie

I’ve seen the movie described as a hot mess, and I would completely agree. It’s simply brilliant in places. But it’s way too long. Recensie

Brutal. Visceral. Heartbreaking. These are the sort of adjectives I’d use to summarise this movie. But it’s a movie that I thought was technically excellent, and a worthy watch. Recensie

This isn’t going to win any awards, is pretty formulaic and has some rough edges. But it is a nice feel-good movie for these dark January nights, and noone’s going to argue with having one of those in the kit-bag at the moment. Recensie

I found Tár to be a really interesting film and one whose aspects I am still pondering on days after watching it. But it’s also a long and slow film that I think many, particularly those watching at home with a clicker in their hand, will lose patience with. Recensie

Like last year’s Fall, this is a ‘little’ film I had a blast going to see at the cinema, and it really deserves its success. Recensie

This is an important film, telling a little-known story (at least outside of the US) in a compelling and evocative way. It’s not an easy watch by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a very moving and rewarding one. Recensie

When matched with some superb performances from the cast, this is another cracking little film. A rather disturbing watch, but very much recommended. Recensie

I’m not a fan of stop-motion animated films. But this one was at least brilliantly done and its wartime setting added some unusual twists. Recensie

It’s unusual to find such a feel-good movie so neatly wrapped up in barbed wire. But this is a film that is both uplifing and sad in equal measure... Recensie

This was an entertaining watch without completely gripping me. The mix of negative vs positive comments above probably doesn’t reflect my overall enjoyment of the film. Recensie

This is a class film to kick off 2023 with. Although a tough watch in places, the film is exquisitely crafted and is a love letter from Sam Mendes to the cinema of his (and my!) youth. Recensie

Kasi Lemmons delivers a solid, if not particularly exciting, biopic. Unfortunately, it won’t stay long in the memory. Without the creative flourishes of Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman, I found it all a bit linear and bland. Recensie

As a whimsical mystery adventure story, this movie had legs and I enjoyed it a lot. Well worth a watch. Recensie

As an adult, there wasn’t enough clever dialogue (e.g. ‘over the kid’s heads’ double entendres) to really entertain me. Recensie
