Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

There’s such beauty in simplicity, as well as brevity… at just 72 minutes long, Sciamma created a spellbinding movie that packs an emotional punch. Review

Overall I had a blast with this one and enjoyed it even more than the first movie. Review

Atlantics is a gorgeous, poetic, mesmerizing film that really lingers long after the end credits. I’m glad the film is on Netflix so I can easily rewatch it soon. Review

I enjoyed the film despite my qualms about Miranda’s directing style. The inherently theatrical approach and editing style gets in the way a bit of the story, so tick, tick…BOOM! is far from being my favorite musicals. Still, I’m glad I saw it and Garfield’s astounding performance alone made this well worth a watch. Review

T’s an engaging directorial debut that balances heavy themes with a kid’s innocence and wide-eyed wonder. At a time where superhero movies dominate cinematic content, it’s refreshing to see an ordinary boy being the hero of his own story. Review

The Lost Daughter is a bold and even defiant film that tackles a taboo subject that’s rarely depicted on screen. Review

The Power of The Dog is one of the most potent and haunting psychological drama that really gets under my skin. Review

Setting the story of a malfunctioning digital device in the form of a cute bubble bot is so clever and hits so close to home even for adults like me. Review

Michael Sarnoski is a filmmaker to watch in his feature directorial debut. I like his story telling style that takes its time in the way it reveals the character’s journey, and the payoff in the end is an emotional one. Review

This one was enjoyable, I guess I didn’t expect too much out of his action flicks and I always find him watchable despite the movie’s flaws. Review

Quite a disappointment from Matthew Vaughn as I enjoyed the first two Kingsman movies. Review

Overall it has enough going for it to make for a good family movie, but doesn’t have enough oomph to make it a classic. Review

The Tragedy of Macbeth exceeds my expectations in every respect and definitely one of the absolute best films of the year. Review

One thing for sure, I spent a great deal of time being discombobulated or bored, there were barely any uplifting moments that got me engaged or made me want to cheer. Review

No Way Home is a great example of ‘fan service’ done right that make people fall in love with the characters all over again. Review

Sing 2 is an enjoyable, lively and life-affirming movie that one can enjoy with the whole family this holiday season. Review

As someone who isn’t too familiar with Lucille Ball’s life, I find it quite entertaining and eye-opening in presenting Lucy as a complex artist who weathered the storm during a turbulent period of her professional and personal life. Review

This film further proves that Spielberg’s still got it and he is truly a master filmmaker who can thrive in any genre. Review

This movie made me laugh and cry, it’s thought-provoking, funny, relatable and emotional, just what every movie should be! Review

Obsession, envy, jealousy are all themes explored throughout, but despite its provocative finale, it doesn’t quite mask its superficiality. Review

Overall this is a rousing, uplifting biopic with a terrific script and spot-on performances. Review

Now, I don’t expect every movie to be award-worthy, but even ‘brainless’ movies ought to still offer some kind of entertainment value, otherwise WHAT IS THE POINT?? Review

Overall I find BELFAST entertaining and heartfelt… with plenty of wit and humor to keep things from being too dour. Review

Hanks proves once again that he is such a charismatic actor that he could hold the audience’s interest all by himself. Review
