Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

It’s technically impressive and packs an emotional punch too at all the right moments. Recensie

This is an oddity and I’ve struggled to rate it. On the one hand it has some very odd and rough edges and a plot that barely makes any sense. But on the other, I had a good time watching this crazyness. I... Recensie

This one started strongly for me, then took a sharp turn into unpleasantness before ending on a whimper. Recensie

Dark and unexpected, this is an extremely well made, if depressing, movie from Todd Phillips. If you enjoyed Joker and want to go down to the next level of madness within Arthur Fleck’s mind, then you may enjoy this. Recensie

It’s a sunny, harmless slice of rom-com (more rom than com it has to be said) that flows through your senses harmlessly enough. Recensie

In summary, for me, this is a decent little thriller let down by a dodgy ending. Recensie

I appreciated the funny bits of this film and commend what it was trying to do. But equally, I understand why those seven people thought it wasn’t for them. Recensie

Anchoring the drama are brilliant performances from Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson as Elwood and Turner. But even better is Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor playing Nana Hattie. Recensie

Is it art? Maybe. Is it facile and pointless? In my view, definitely. Recensie

Cutting and insightful this was nearly a great documentary for me. Recensie

The whole cast are excellent with no weak elements. But particularly winning are the leads Karan Soni & Jonathan Groff. Recensie

An entertaining and engaging film that constantly kept me guessing. Recensie

A really solid debut that deserves a watch. I enjoyed it. Recensie

It’s comedy but it’s also drama. Core to this is the stressed relationship between David and Benji. Recensie

This is a perfectly pleasant movie. A few smiles and even a couple of chuckles. But it’s not a comedy that I will remember in a month or two’s time. Recensie

As a stop/motion film, I nearly skipped this one. But I’m so glad I didn’t. It was truly great and I think it will get a BIG fan club when it is on general release. I loved it. Recensie

This won’t be for everyone and it seems to have had a lukewarm reception from its previous Festival outings. But I personally enjoyed it as a rollercoaster ride of changing relationships. It is a little bit muddled in its execution, but I didn’t mind that since I’m sure a lot of medieval life was very much more muddled! Recensie

I wasn’t riveted by this one, but it did hold my interest throughout. And I feel I know just a little more about the history of Mozambique. Recensie

This is a real gem of a movie and might already be (on the first day!) my find of the LFF. Recensie

As I’ve said before, I like my documentaries to show me something surprising about the world that I didn’t know about. Dahomey is a bit light in that regard as we follow (painfully slowly and artfully) a number of statues and other artifacts as they are boxed up in a Paris museum. Recensie

This is a terrific little adventure movie, novel and engaging, with good performances and great action sequences. Recensie

Above all, it’s just plain dull as it drones on with its pontificating for 158 tiresome minutes. Recensie

There are jump scares throughout, as you would expect of a movie of this type, and some of them I found half-decent. Recensie

This is a really well-made drama turning the spotlight on the struggles of alcoholics trying to stay sober. It’s a tough watch at times, but also surprisingly uplifting. Recensie
