Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

A harmlessly frothy, upbeat piece of animated entertainment. Recensie

Shazam isn’t perfect, but it is a bundle of fun, tied up in a bright, shiny package. Recensie

Dumbo is a very pretty and, for non-discerning viewers like children, enjoyable film. But it is a film that takes no risks, and dulls every plot thread, emotional beat and memory of the original in its pursuit of normality, and for many that will be a disappointment. Recensie

Us may not be as cohesive as Get Out, but it is still an incredibly well made, terrifyingly scary and deeply meaningful piece of cinema that cements Peele as an auteur. Recensie

An ultimately satisfying thriller, that although often slow feels tense, dramatic and exciting. Recensie

Despite a strong hero turn from Brie Larson, this groundbreaking Marvel film feels predictable and rote. Recensie

A painfully dull, derivative exercise that works hard to erode any joy canines bring you. Recensie

Better than expected, but largely predictable, this true wrestling underdog story will still entertain. Recensie

A stunningly rendered vision that excoriates the US justice system while never losing its roots as a compelling romance. Recensie

At times interminably slow, The Front Runner coasts on the power of its lead and the inherent draw of its story. Recensie

A riveting, engaging and heartbreaking tale that explores the relationship between mother and son. Recensie

Somewhat slow, but tinged with bouts of tension, laughter, pity and reflection, The Mule is a moving and affecting character study that doesn’t plague itself with contrivances like tension. Recensie

A surprisingly funny, heartfelt and emotional journey. Recensie

All sorts of fun, and despite a few flaws is an exciting adaptation from one of our favourite directors. Recensie

Not quite as enthralling as Unbreakable, nor as surprising as Split, Glass is nevertheless a satisfying conclusion to this retrofit trilogy. Recensie

A worthy resurrection of an iconic character, Mary Poppins Returns is fun, charming and heartfelt. Recensie

A fun and heartfelt new take on the Transformers franchise, without as many explosions. Recensie

A dismal mess that never hits it’s target. Recensie

A weak story and occasionally horrid acting doesn’t do justice to the incredible world-building of this film. Recensie

Surprisingly fun and affecting, Colette very much relies on a striking performance from Keira Knightley while making a statement on power, ownership and attribution. Recensie

Eschews the just for kids stigma with a radical new animation style, and a well thought out, intensely comedic and ultimately uplifting story that will leave kids and adults alike cheering. Recensie

Rambunctious and fun, if unambitious and predictable, Second Act is a pleasant surprise. Recensie

Suffering from many of the struggles sequels typically do, and certainly affected by following one of the best boxing films of all time, Creed II is still a fist-pumping good time in the ring. Recensie

A breath of fresh air, Steve McQueen’s Widows is a must-see. Recensie
