Filmrecensies van Don Shanahan

Rami Malek and the film thrive when the volume is turned up and the microphones are on. It withers when it stifles that provocative heat. Allowing something this hot to go lukewarm is a cinematic crime. Recensie

Featuring a fabulous performance of floundering from Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a cheeky yet contemplative biopic of a struggling artist... Recensie

You will be racking your brain on these notions. You will also end up valuing the time and challenge of this film. Recensie

A salaciously scathing and hilarious black comedy for the #NotMyPresident era of thumb-biting insults we Americans sling to choose sides around here. Recensie

Bracingly honest with its turns and barriers built by emotional wallop. The remarkable performances of Carell and Chalamet deserve the credit for that impact. Recensie

To its great credit, the merciless edge of Loving Pablo rejects forced cinematic sugar-coating overused in other crime films to romanticize its leviathans. Recensie

Never once do any hairs stand up in fright in the presence of what should be a complete badass. Those deficiencies shouldn’t happen with Venom. Recensie

Seizes viewers and thrusts them into these harrowing capsule cockpits and test modules. Recensie

You will find yourself captivated watching the expressive performances, both sung and unsung, no matter if it is for an audience of thousands or just merely one. Recensie

This solid result sure looks the part from horizon to horizon, once again making us American jealous of how good westerns can still look. Recensie

The splendid artistry behind the camera respectfully worships the film’s subjects and their portrayals... Recensie

Panos Cosmatos has fashioned a disgustingly gorgeous and frightfully unforgettable film. Recensie

There is, unfortunately, not a great deal of surprise in A Simple Favor... Recensie

An inflatable bounce house of pretend peril. Recensie

Bathed in these impeccable period details, the troupe of mostly TV actors comport themselves equally well. Recensie

Perfect for the times, it’s encouraging to see two female leads translate their personalities to play curious and capable females comfortable in their own uniqueness. Recensie

High praise is due to Zafar and his writing partner Daniel Kitrosser for wading through the acid and muck of this heavy material for We the Animals. Recensie

Downright sensational and has vaulted to the top of the conversation for the best film of 2018 so far. Recensie

Oozing all kinds of artistic flamboyance and crimson damage, this film is a straight punch to the face that has to swing hard to to knock you out. Recensie

The crowd-pleasing bash that Baywatch should have been last summer. Recensie

Spike’s lightning rod flair singes silver screens again, stoking a period-piece true story into a potent punch of hard truths stamped for the present day. Recensie

Bloody messes and frantic nerves are painted with a monochromatic palette and stand through fixed and unflinching framing. Recensie

Foibles aside, Christopher Robin is an unapologetic heart-melter. Recensie

This one earns your admission price and then some with some of the best set pieces, fight sequences, and chase scenes in the franchise’s history. Recensie
