Filmrecensies van Niels Matthijs

Well recommended if you're looking for something small and intimate. Recensie

Extremely stylish, sports superb performances and combines smarts with relevance. It's a well thought-out mix of genres that dazzles from start to finish. Recensie

It's not Sono's most definitive film, but it's solid proof that he can handle more commercial projects... Recensie

If you take the silly premise for granted, there's actually a rather large variety of comedy on display here and even though not every joke will hit, a lot of them do. Recensie

A film that's rich in atmosphere, beautifully animated and with just the right amount of depth... Recensie

The presentation is flawless, the killer is grotesque and the finale is brutal. Recensie

An absolute stunner, an audiovisual experience that dragged me into its world and didn't let go until the final frame faded and the last note died. Recensie

While Left Bank may not be the most daring of films, the execution is pretty flawless, something that is absolutely key for a solid genre film... Recensie

It's different, fun, it looks great and its overall very creative. Recensie

The pacing, the visual quality and the kick-ass lead character make it very easy to forget about these minor quirks. Recensie

Once Gojira awakes there's still plenty of massive and all-destructive chaos to look forward to. Recensie

A pretty short film that does well highlighting Miki's unique brand of comedy. Recensie

It's moody and stylish but also grim and harsh when needed, while strong camera work, a solid cast and a unique blend of familiar elements sets it apart from its peers. Recensie

A stylish, smart and balanced Triad film, sporting a great cast, a characteristic soundtrack, a couple of witty setups and a fulfilling finale. Recensie

On the flipside, it's a wonderfully stylized, strongly realized and often completely baffling film that has both heart and brains and lacks any kind of commercial filter. Recensie

The actors are on point, the film looks great and there's a lot of fun to be had, especially whenever the films endorses its own mean streak. Recensie

By far one of the better Japanese investigation thrillers, then again the competition isn't all that stiff. Recensie

May have lost some of its initial appeal, but what remains is an incredibly slick, funny and unique film. Recensie

The film is a visual wonder that offers plenty of entertainment. Recensie

It's a superb genre film, but at the same time it also plays around with genre clicheacute's quite deliberately. Recensie

Dense, chaotic and exhausting, fueled by strong camera work, slick editing and perfect pacing. Recensie

It references the original material without outright copying it, it builds upon the original while also making sure the directors are allowed to make the material their own. Recensie

It's more of the same of course, just 130 minutes of that same fun, entertaining and surprising comedy that makes Miike films such unique experiences. Recensie

It's something completely unique, incredibly tricky to describe and pretty much impossible to forget. Recensie
