Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

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

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

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. Recensie

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

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

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! Recensie

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

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. Recensie

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

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

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

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. Recensie

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

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

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

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. Recensie

It’s an ambitious and inventive filmmaking showcasing a pair of charismatic performers, but in the end it’s neither a profound nor riveting character study it wants to be. Recensie

For those who have the patience, I think there are quite a few gems to appreciate here, and the fascinating historical significance also compels me to read more about Sutton Hoo excavation. Recensie

I’d say it’s a pretty restrained direction that works well for the story. There are slow moments in the movie, but it never felt tedious, which is a testament to the solid script Greengrass co-wrote with Luke Davies. Recensie
