Filmrecensies van Ulkar Alakbarova

This Is Us is a series about life. About real people. About their feelings. Fears. Expectations. Forgiveness and kindness. It’s about people that are sharing the same birthday… but a different life. It also about great performance each and everyone delivers. Recensie

Nocturnal Animals is an exceptional and unlike many other films that will shake you psychologically-wise throughout the film. Amy Adams shines in every scene as if she was born for that Susan’s part.

Isabelle Huppert flawlessly captures Liliane, showing that love for the stage will never fade away. Recensie
