Filmrecensies van Kevin Hawkins

The film might not be the most profound piece of art to deal with these topics, but it’s nevertheless an impressive effort from a debut director. Recensie

The film’s role is evidently not to tell us who is right and who is wrong, but to open up a few doors we didn’t realise were shut. Recensie

It may not go down as an all-time noir classic, but it will grip you for as long as it holds your attention. Recensie

Johnny English is no 007, let alone Austin Powers, but he’s possibly the wholesome family hero we didn’t realise we wanted back. Recensie

McGuires’s diverse platter of interview subjects and perspectives should nevertheless serve as a useful conversation starter for all. Recensie

Music aside, the Heart Beats Loud world is full of authentic characters whose relationships and dialogue with one another are truthful. Recensie

At best, the film adds a new dimension to the tired cop genre, but fails to be much more than “Detective Film… with Puppets!”... Recensie

Audiences thirsty for a taste of big-screen dinosaur action will mostly find what they’re looking for in Fallen Kingdom but for diehard fans, it’s a case of diminishing returns. Recensie

By giving us characters so unworthy of any of our emotions, the whole film feels rather pointless. Recensie

Not just with a couple of fine acting performances but a moving love story that will pull at a diverse range of your heart strings. Recensie

Deserves credit for the way it does not shy away from showing us that a wondrous holiday destination does not necessarily make a memorable holiday. Recensie

Spielberg is a master storyteller and the quest genre is his bread and butter. Recensie

It’s exactly what you think it will be, which should delight fans of the Taken franchise, while leaving everyone else rolling their eyes. Recensie

Fundamentally a poorly-constructed film caught somewhere between satire, drama, comedy and fantasy. Recensie

Creative liberties aside, Nalluri’s process of interweaving Dickens’ biographical narrative with that of his novella is a well-executed storytelling device. Recensie

The end product is as uncomfortable and gruelling as the conditions in which Alex and Ben are subject to. Recensie

While none of the film’s subplots are boring, they do leave the audience wandering around without sufficient direction. Recensie

A film about empathy and this is what makes it such an accessible and watchable film... Recensie

Will leave audiences underwhelmed by its lack of adventure and a screenplay unworthy of Danny Ocean. Recensie

Makes for a visually glorious finish, but not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one. Recensie

Coppola gives us enough time with each character for us to admire the different attributes each bring to the school. Recensie

Indeed, the only character who gives this film any real emotion is the soundtrack, which consistently delivers the right song at the right moment. Recensie

The fact that this narrative unfolds as the film is being made not only makes the story more authentic, but less judgmental. Recensie

Could have been a great film too, were it brave enough to hold a mirror to itself a few more times before hitting cinemas. Recensie
