Filmrecensies van William Eguizabal

Sure, it’s silly—and sometimes, you can have fun with silly—but Christian Gudegast just isn’t a particularly skilled director. This film suffers from the same issues as the first, except now it’s a French-soaked retread of the original. Recensie

This is a film that suffers from a lot of inconsistencies and sadly there was a lot of potential for this to be great. Lila Gueneau actually does really work here and she’s really the heart of the film in the way Night is the engine. Recensie

It’s as uneven as it gets. The performances are masterful, and the script is strong. Corbet clearly has a bright future behind the camera, and with this, he’s guaranteed that his next project will be whatever he wants it to be. That might not be a good thing. Someone should have reined in this damn runtime. Recensie

Immense. The emotion—immense. The consequences of a single action—immense. The storytelling—immense. There’s a profound weight to this story, and the young actors at its core do an incredible job of guiding us through it. Recensie

A tension-fueled step into real history. One of the things that truly sets this apart is the timer—everything seems to be happening in real time, and there’s nothing we, as the audience, can do. Recensie

Robert Eggers continues his streak of absolute cinematic mastery. Recensie

This is a phenomenal thriller from start to finish. Nicholas Hoult is absolutely excellent here, and this is a low-key surprise as one of 2024’s best. Recensie

It’s a compelling character study of someone not so different from you or me. Recensie

The goal of this film is simple: it wants you to laugh. It wants you to turn off your brain and just enjoy. And there’s plenty here to love. Recensie

Visually this is one of the most interesting films I’ve seen in 2024. This won’t be for everyone but this was certainly something I enjoyed. An... Recensie

Denzel is devilishly slick, delivering a performance with multiple layers. He keeps us guessing, making us flip-flop on our opinion of him throughout the film. Meanwhile, Paul Mescal is simply too talented to be in a film like this—one that lacks any real structural strength. Recensie

There are some great performances here. Jonathan Bailey is a scene-stealer. Ariana Grande, though not traditionally considered an excellent actress, delivers a phenomenal performance. Recensie

It’s pretentious, ill-informed nonsense coming from an arrogant director with an apathetic attitude toward the very culture he finds fascinating enough to make a film about. Recensie

Such a phenomenal picture—a film that truly feels like reality. In a story like this, the relationship between two people can make or break everything. Thankfully, Eisenberg and Culkin have amazing chemistry that grips us from start to finish. Recensie

What a motion picture this is! Every second of screen time that Edward Berger is given, he rewards us with juicy scandal. Recensie

Period pieces are challenging and can often feel messy, but she absolutely nails the 1970s aesthetic, fully placing us in Sheryl’s shoes. Recensie

I love feeling emotions; they’re usually what pull me through a film like this. But I wasn’t completely there with this one. I enjoyed it—it’s wonderfully acted and truly showcases the talent of its two leads. Recensie

Aside from a glaring overstay of its welcome, this is a really solid piece of horror filmmaking. Not only is it dangerously well-acted, but it’s also a fun time at the movies. Recensie

This might be Baker’s single best film. Mikey Madison is electrifying—a lightning rod of naivety, grace, and beauty. Recensie

A heck of a thrill ride here. There’s a real pulse to this film, with every moment escalating into something more and more urgent. Recensie

It’s easily in the running for my personal favorite film of 2024. It’s fun, funny, and an absolute blast at the movies. Recensie

Pretty standard Netflix RomCom fodder. Laura Dern is genuinely charming, but Liam Hemsworth just isn’t the guy. Recensie

The narrative of this film is, by far, its most compelling aspect. As the labyrinthine tale begins to unfurl and the story falls into place, you start to notice cracks in the narrative, even though it presents a fascinating take on transtemporal travel. Recensie

Its wit and charm are in the right place, and with stronger writing, it could have been elevated even further. Recensie
