Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

Benediction is both admirably slow, deliberate, inquisitive and introspective, and also frustratingly so. Recensie

A charming, thrilling story, but Chris Evans is no Tim Allen. Recensie

Jurassic World: Dominion is the sort of IP draining franchise instalment that sustains itself with fan service, while not only not delivering any sense of the new or creative, but actively subverting the few original ideas in the previous movie to return to familiar paths. Recensie

Beautifully shot, staged and acted, but ultimately unfulfilling period drama. Recensie

Last Seen Alive is poorly produced, with a terrible plot, some horrible characters, and a production quality that beggars belief. It’s also a film single-handedly saved by Gerard Butler, who somehow, amidst this absolute mess, delivers a bit of a fresh take on a character we’ve seen before. Recensie

This animated offshoot feels like an extended TV episode, rather than a cinematic experience. Recensie

An unbelievably good sequel to the classic 80’s film. Recensie

The blend in this mincemeat could have been better, but in the end it’s perfectly edible. Recensie

An underwhelming and largely unambitious take on the multiverse, that throws opts for jump scares and cameos rather than character development and fresh takes. Recensie

Nic Cage is back, with a meta action/comedy that holds your interest, examines his fame, while also adroitly plumbing the depths of his back catalogue. Recensie

The Northman is a breathtakingly beautiful, gorgeously rendered vision that is as bloody and violent as it is strange and unmissable. Recensie

The famed children's book series comes to life in a razor sharp animated piece that will hold parents' attention, as well as that of their kids. Recensie

Mind-boggling multiversal musings ultimately take a backseat to an emotional family tale in this must see movie. Recensie

Big, loud and dumb - but a helluva lot of fun. Recensie

Muddled, with flashes of brilliance, but an overall sense of ‘why?’, Morbius is a film that isn’t so much bad or good, as confusing. Recensie

The Lost City isn’t discovering any new wonders here, but its familiar formula is well-balanced, and frequently hilarious. This is a fun action flick, that we hope heralds the return of the adventure movie. Recensie

The Duke is both a surprising true story, and an ultimately heartwarming nostalgia tale, that may very well steal your heart. Recensie

Heartwarming, funny and surprising, Dog defies expectations. Recensie

Book of Love is trite and cliche, but there’s a kernel of something here that keeps you smiling and enjoying yourself. Recensie

Dinklage gives a nuanced performance that, despite his inability to match his co-stars in singing talent, brings pathos and warmth to this tragic romance. Recensie

A fun, fizzy action-adventure that disperses with an attempt at being anything other than a trashy popcorn flick. Recensie

Rom-coms don’t come much more ridiculous, cliched or chemistry-lacking than Marry Me; but despite all that, it’s a hard movie not to fall in love with. Recensie

A sumptuous return for Poirot, with a glittery cast, gorgeous set design, and a take on the classic mystery that will satisfy any classic Agatha Christie fans in the audience. Recensie

Better than some of Neeson’s recently laissez-faire fare, this actioner is still an unsubtle, poorly paced and ill-conceived deep state thriller. Recensie
