Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

It’s a fascinating film that explores the complexity of female friendships, as each woman has their own mind though they live in such a tight-knit community. It’s also a challenging one that asks tough questions that don’t have easy answers, but it’s an absorbing watch. Recensie

I applaud Chazelle’s boundless ambition in bringing such an extravagant idea to life, but in the end, I think he bites more than he can chew. Recensie

Spirited is a lively and upbeat Christmas musical. Beneath all its goofiness, it actually delivers an uplifting message of finding goodwill and kindness despite all the darkness in the world. Recensie

As comedic murder-mystery movies are becoming increasingly popular, I think Rian Johnson’s whodunit franchise is the shrewdest and brainiest, but also the most fun! Recensie

With visuals THIS immersive and glorious, it’s worth extra points to compensate for the less-than-stellar writing. Recensie

Empire of Light is trite and somber, seriously lacking the magical quality and sparkle that the glorious poster promises. Recensie

It’s still a pretty impressive feature film debut, so I’m curious what Neugebauer would do next. Recensie

’s a handsomely mounted period drama with lovely costume design and gorgeous locations in Wales. The cinematography is light and airy, though the blue/green filter can be distracting. Isabella Summers‘ score has a dreamy quality though the music depicting high tension sounds too ominous at times. Recensie

The main plot of the wedding itself is predictable but there are still a few surprises in store. Recensie

Overall I had fun with this one and Hamm’s laid-back charm and great comic timing keep things afloat. Mad Men fans would get a kick out of seeing Hamm and John Slattery in a movie together, too! Recensie

It’s as haunting as it is soulful. It could very well be my favorite of his work to date. Recensie

Overall though, The Fabelmans lacks a certain kind of Spielberg magic, but still, it’s essential viewing for fans of his work. Recensie

Good Night Oppy feels like one of Steven Spielberg‘s sci-fi movies, except that it actually happened. This is definitely one of the best documentaries that are not only insightful but heartfelt, inspiring, and uplifting. Recensie

I do think the movie has some pacing issues and its running could’ve been trimmed down slightly. Overall this film is much better than I expected, thanks to the solid script, capable direction, and excellent performances of the two leads. ... Recensie

The film is quite well-paced as it manages to keep my interest piqued from start to finish. Recensie

I can’t pretend to fully grasp what McDonagh’s trying to say here. There’s a Shakespearean influence in that the story starts out as a comedy and ends in a tragedy. I come away not as enamored with this film as I thought I would. It’s something I appreciate, even admire, but not love. Recensie

It’s an admirable follow-up even if it doesn’t quite top the first film. Recensie

I quite like Andrea von Kampen‘s folk music, but the interaction between her and Paul Petersen lacks sparks or warmth, it even comes across as awkward at times. Recensie

I had fun with this movie and Karen Maine‘s direction is lively and upbeat. I adore the beautiful Tuscan scenery, I always appreciate movies filmed on location. The costumes and set pieces are wonderful to look at, too! Recensie

I love learning about Barry’s collaboration with two music legends – Dame Shirley Bassey and Louis Armstrong who sang some of the greatest Bond classics. Recensie

The story itself is pretty cute though the romance with Fred Astaire isn’t as convincing as Hepburn’s other films. Still it was charming enough and I really enjoy Kay Thompson‘s performance as the fashion editor. Recensie

Overall it’s just sensory overload with too much bombastic animated action, the story runs out of steam fast and frankly, I’m tired of seeing/hearing Michelle Yeoh being cast a Kung-Fu expert, come on Hollywood she’s SO much more versatile than that. Recensie

Efron displays such an earnest quality that makes the character’s inherent foolishness endearing. Russell Crowe has a brief but memorable appearance as a war journalist. Recensie

Ticket To Paradise is a pleasant, frothy diversion but doesn’t offer anything new in the genre. Recensie
