A Christmas Prince is not a fancy film, as you might expect. It has adopted an interesting style – simple, yet tells a magical story. Recensie

It’s thought-provoking, ambitious and brave. It’s sad and horrifying to watch. The way he makes his film is almost like having a mirror reflection on something that can appear in our worst nightmares. Recensie

Coda is a very inspiring film about one individual who chooses the music as his companion throughout his whole life. Recensie

The exceptional music composed by Kim Tae-seong or dark and visually stunning cinematography by Kim Woo-hyung, the movie transports the audience right to the heart of June Democracy movement, giving details that will cause goosebumps. Recensie

The Witch in the Window has an interesting concept towards the end which makes it more twisted than ever. And that’s the best part of it, of course. Recensie

The best thing about “What Keeps You Alive” is how the filmmaker/director distances his film from the general concept of horror cinema and adds more art and creativity to it, making it absolutely unique and somewhat impossible to digest. Recensie

The Dark is a light horror film about searching of the soul when there isn’t. However, it misses an emotional part and some questions are left unanswered. Recensie

The Vanished is a suspenseful crime thriller where the cat and mouse chase begins between the detective, husband, and the vanished body. Recensie

Neomanila is a fine action drama from Philippines that does not mind opening up the wounds of the country through the silver screen and digs deep into corruption, vulnerability of minority and the ease the same government feels when it comes to sentencing people they don’t like to death without proper trial or verdict. Recensie

Mission Impossible – Fallout is an outstanding action thriller that has everything to offer to even the most indifferent viewer. Recensie

The concept touched upon in “Generation Wealth” is universal and happens all over the world, but the unique touch of Lauren Greenfield helps the film to portray the reality of a blunt world. It’s thought-provoking and unsettling in the way it was intended. Recensie

The main issue of the film is its writing that made no sense; to understand that clearly and be as objective as possible, I had to view the film twice to be clear about it. Recensie

Luz is an excellent horror movie revolving around character-study. It’s atmospheric, dark and intelligent. Recensie

The Outlaws is grim, gruesome and not for the faint-hearted. Certain scenes are not that easy to digest, if someone has enough courage to watch them with their eyes open. Recensie

Don’t Worry He Won’t Get Far on Foot is a well-balanced, emotionally charged biopic that never tries to manipulate the viewer’s feelings. Inspiring and important piece, there is always something for any type of audience to learn from Callahan’s story, but more importantly that life does not end when there’s no hope. Recensie
