Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

I really enjoyed this movie and smiled a lot. And the matinee audience I was with seemed to enjoy it too. It’s light, inoffensive and feelgood. That being said, I don’t think it was particularly memorable as a movie… Recensie

It deserves its success, since it is a really nicely crafted schlock-horror edition in the series. Recensie

I thought it was atrocious, and an utter waste of a talented cast. Recensie

Ere are so many themes that are played out in this movie; guilt, blame, nihilism in the face of the horrors of life, what it is to be a parent who loses a child in extraordinary circumstances. It’s a deep movie that keeps you wondering... Recensie

Against all the odds, I really loved this one and had a whale of a time. Recensie

The phenomenal performance of Riseborough really lifts it above the norm for me. Recensie

I absolutely loved this short film. It’s quirky, very funny in places and also has its moments of tension. And the ending is sublimely satisfying. Recensie

And it’s certainly a quirky piece that is humourously enough done, verging occasionally into the surreal. Recensie

This is a haunting little short film written and directed by Anders Walter. The bleak Greenland scenary is wonderfully captured by cinematographer Rasmus Heise, and there is a melancholic and sonorous soundtrack by Rasmus Walter Hansen that perfectly sets the mood. Recensie

This is a wonderfully crafted short film that has delishously black humour as well as pathos and feel-good aspects to boot. Recensie

This was a genuinely intriguing insight into the mental process that (I fear) many American’s go through, albeit without necessarily reaching the same conclusion that McKinney reached. Recensie

As it is a straight historical documentary, I’m not sure it delves into facets of human life quite as much as the other docs in this category do. But it is nonetheless fascinating to watch. Recensie

But as an intimate portrait of the love between a father and his daughter, this has little to beat it. It certainly moved the illustrious Mrs Movie Man to tears while watching it! Recensie

It’s spectacular indeed, but other than the spectacle there is not that much additional content. As such, it feels a bit of a one-trick-pony. Recensie

Hats off also to the photography in this one, which is on a par with a David Attenborough production. There are fine shots of other wildlife in the forest, some great aerial drone footage and some incredible footage of locals foraging: hanging off precipices by home-made vine ropes. Recensie

Oh my! This is 11 minutes of surrealist joy! Recensie

Told as 5 separate chapters, each pursuing a different style of animation, this is a wildly inventive ride through the angst of being a sexually inquisitive/frustrated teen. Recensie

Very well worth watching, and a good contender for the Oscar. Recensie

The animation style is quite ‘blocky’ and crude but some of the sequences are remarkably well done. Recensie

The artwork of the countryside the characters (by Charles Mackesy) is just superb. Moreover, the story is chock full of really deep and positive mental health messages. Recensie

Another well-directed and female-directed movie (and impressive in being Lila Neugebauer’s feature debut), this one feels like it’s an “always a bridesmaid, never the bride” film at the awards. But I found it an interesting, if slow, drama that pleased without totally exciting me. Recensie

The film must have been well received, since a sequel is in the works. For this is a cracking story of derring do on the high seas, this animation is highly recommended for a family watch. Recensie

This is an awesome documentary that I would urge everyone reading this to watch. Recensie

This is a solid chapter in the whole ‘Rocky’ saga, which – given these films have been going for nearly 50 years – is pretty impressive. I’d certainly recommend it as a good night out at the movies, so hats off to Michael B. Jordan. Recensie
