Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

The story had some bumpy moments, as above, but as an overall feelgood offering I think older people in particular will definitely appreciate this one. Is it subtle in the way it milks your tear-ducts like some super-heavyweight Jersey cow, late to the parlour for milking? Recensie

It is a film that I think is really well made and is ‘important’ because it bootstraps a discussion about sexual consent between young people. Do I want to ever watch it again? Probably not! Recensie

This is a cracking film and for once I fully agree with the Cannes jury. Get to try to see it on the big screen if you can. Recensie

It’s not one of Fincher’s best in my opinion. Some, I know, find it dull. But, for me, even a Fincher off-day still makes you appreciate the quality of the film-making. Recensie

Elements of the film are truly absorbing and thought-provoking. However, I found it lacked discipline in terms of a) providing a balanced view of the material presented and b) pulling a lot of the scatter-gun theories together to present a clear set of conclusions. Recensie

It’s an intriguing concept, well told albeit with a finale that didn’t quite do it for me. But Cage is truly magnificent throughout. Recensie

As I said, I found this to be most closely related to Booksmart and Polite Society: both favourites of mine. But it’s not as good (imho) as either of those. However, I still found it fresh, energetic and funny for a ribald comedy of this type. Recensie

A ‘nice’ watch that I don’t think many people will find objectionable in any way. It suffers though in comparison with the superior The Great Escaper in most departments. But it is in no way a bust and is worth a watch, even if you have already see the other film. Recensie

It was fun. I enjoyed it, particularly some of the excellent comedy sections. But, with my other head on, it feels a bit of a jumbled, over-hurried mess. Recensie

This is a perfectly pleasant film to watch and will particularly appeal to older viewers looking for a gentle drama told in a linear and predictable way. Recensie

This is a delightful film that, I’m not ashamed to say, made me well-up at the end. Recensie

This is an interesting and entertaining documentary that is well-worth your time if you can get to see it. Recensie

You can surely not be unmoved by this movie. How can it be so enthralling and devasatating to watch a cow going about its business with no ‘dialogue’ per se and no real story? Recensie

This is a bit of a mixed bag, but on the whole I enjoyed it. In my book, it’s worth watching for the snort-worthy barn scene towards the end of the film. Recensie

This is definitely not a film for action lovers. But for fans of TV’s “All Creatures Great and Small”, that’s the sort of gentle, bucolic experience you can expect with this. Recensie

This was a small scale but genuinely entertaining comedy-crime drama that I found to be thoroughly entertaining throughout. Recensie

This is very much an arthouse film that will very much evoke a “WTF!” from regular cineplex-goers. Recensie

An intelligent and engrossing film, I really enjoyed this one. Recommended. Recensie

A short film that highlights (in a non political way) an issue increasingly affecting rural communities across the UK. It’s a short watch but a good watch. Recensie

With some irritations about the pacing, I enjoyed the start of the movie and the characters on show. But the last two thirds of the movie really went downhill for me and the non-event ending just plain annoyed me. Recensie

It’s atmospheric; it’s an interesting watch; but it is also extremely confusing. I’d watch it again to try to work it all out, but I’m not sure I have the patience. Recensie

A stunning, widescreen cinema epic. Recensie

As you might tell from a film about a biker gang, this is a rough, tough film with a good dose of threat and violence included. It will make you cross about human beings at times. But it is also very enthralling and a recommended watch. Recensie

I understand it stayed pretty loyal to the book, so that’s not the filmmakers fault. But for me this was a little gem becoming something tarnished. Recensie
