Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

Ditch Dora’s map and get one that leads straight to the exit of your movie theatre; you’ll need it. Recensie

Dogman is a gripping piece of Italian cinema that marks somewhat of a return to form for Garrone. Recensie

A wasted opportunity, that will only hold interest for the few. Recensie

Meandering, witty, funny, violent and above all endearingly nostalgic, Once Upon A Time In … Hollywood continues a winning streak from Tarantino while also feeling vastly different from anything else in his body of work. Recensie

A middling comedy that, for its unique premise, never quite capitalises on that feeling of ‘freshness’. Recensie

A tad long, but a fun, action-packed extravaganza that will have you laughing frequently. Recensie

A visually exciting, dramatically serviceable Aussie war film. Recensie

Another stunningly delivered documentary from Kapadia, Diego Maradona will keep you enthralled even if you don’t like football; but will give you more if you do. Recensie

The White Crow is not only unenjoyable for the most part, but critically it is boring. For a character whose real life was so interesting, that is a real shame. Recensie

Stunningly rendered, but ultimately lacking heart, this remake is a tremendous disappointment. Recensie

Stuber feels like a waste of precious feature film space. It’s funny in places, but there isn’t enough story here to make it memorable. Recensie

Booksmart is a must see coming of age comedy that intersperses the funny with deep insight. Recensie

While you might wish for something with a little more meat on the bones, Spider-Man: Far From Home is a hugely enjoyable, funny and engaging return to the MCU. Recensie

This animated sequel has about a million different plot threads, but will make your kids laugh. Recensie

A bizarre space treatise on the cruelty of solitude and pointlessness, told in a way only Claire Denis could. Recensie

Despite doing little with its premise, and even less with its plot, MIB: International is a lot of fun due to the chemistry of its two leads. Recensie

Wild Rose is wildly entertaining, but don’t let that fool you; there is great depth to be found in this piece. Recensie

A sumptuous visual feast anchored in two incredible performances from relatively unknown leads, that stumbles and falters whenever a certain blue magical deity is on screen. Recensie

A perfectly serviceable, if relatively forgettable comedy, that never pushes the boundaries. Recensie

This noir-ish take on the Pokemon property might finally have broken the video game to big screen curse, by realising the in-game stories don’t matter nearly as much as characters. Recensie

Lacking the production quality of a more mainstream film The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir nevertheless manages to capture some of the fantastical whimsy of the story. Recensie

The window we are given into the life of Gloria Bell is at once beautifully rendered, ambling in pace, and unrepentantly optimistic; much like the character herself. Recensie

A funny, heartfelt rom-com between too mismatched stars that manages, for the most part, to avoid many of the pitfalls of this genre. Recensie

A hell of a mess. Recensie
