Movie reviews of Ruth Maramis

It’s a strange, surreal film about a man who live through several centuries, even becoming a woman! Review

Another fascinating documentary about a subject I’m not familiar with, and what a perfect title! Review

It’s a fascinating subject about a handful of 70-80 year-old Italian men hunting for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle. Review

This dueling monsters flick was the first movie I watched in April. You know what, I didn’t hate it. Review

Kodachrome isn’t the greatest family drama out there, but still worth a watch for Harris’ performance that always elevates the material. Review

Overall, despite Pfeiffer’s delightful performance, this movie doesn’t really stick in my mind long after its closing credits. It’s as if the writer is only interested in making the characters bizarre for its own sake instead of people we can connect or relate to in a meaningful way. Review

Thank you, Tom Moore + co. for giving us nearly two hours of beautiful visual feast to escape to. Review

I’d say it’s worth a rent only if you’re a huge fan of the cast, but they’re way better in other films. Review

Overall I feel like the documentary feels a bit style-over-substance, which I can see why they did it given Audrey was such a style icon. Still I think the film was made with love and I’m glad it also highlights her remarkable life off-screen as a passionate humanitarian. Review

Just the cast alone is intriguing, but the movie is pretty weird and borderline bizarre at times, but the French scenery and costumes are wonderful! Review

All the actors portraying those historical figures did a terrific job here. Review

The darn thing is 4 hours long, if they can’t flesh out at least a single character in that time frame, then what the heck is the point?? Visually it’s just not a beautiful movie either, garish and overly morose. Review

It’s such a delightful, funny and quirky movie! Review

Started out promising and it tries hard to be edgy, but falls flat and overall a pretty boring, predictable movie with a weak ending. Review

It does highlight the history of Afro-Germans, but I think that story deserved a better film. Review

It’s a bizarre film and at times I have no idea where the filmmaker was going w/ it, but still worth a watch for La Pfeiffer’s elegantly-quirky performance. Review

Overall CRISIS is an engaging thriller that’s pretty easy to follow. Review

The Father is an astounding film that shows us what it means to be human and the harsh reality of aging. Review

A hopeful, feel-good story is something we all need today, and this is one that a whole family could enjoy for years to come as well. Review

I’m not sure The Mauritanian does Mohamedou’s memoir justice nor is it the best movies about post-911, but no doubt its heart is in the right place. Review

It’s a study of restraint in its minimalism, almost stripped bare of frills in terms of special effects or unnecessary dialog, but done to great effect. Review

I have to say this movie is not for everyone, but if you can stomach morally bankrupt characters and vile stench of a plot, it’s certainly entertaining. Review

In the end, I find this film resplendent and swoon-worthy, but there’s something wanting. As I mentioned above, it doesn’t quite have the depth I was expecting. Review

There’s a lot of emotions packed in a relatively breezy 1-hour-34-minutes running time, which is always nice as the film never overstays its welcome. Review
