Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

Pointless and unfunny, I think the only watchable thing is Pedro Pascal, but the rest is unwatchable… Recensie

This one lacks emotional resonance and the hilarity wears off far too soon before the inevitable, predictable conclusion. Recensie

Husson’s direction, lensed by Jamie Ramsay, is beautiful to look at, but I wish it were more affecting. Drenched in melancholy, the few poignant moments are only a few and far in between. Recensie

I was more enamored by Michelle Yeoh than the movie itself. There’s a sensory overload from the myriads of ideas being erratically thrown together that the familial and philosophical themes often get lost amidst the chaos. That said, I applaud the originality of the filmmakers’ vision and the inventive filmmaking style. Recensie

The Lost City doesn’t earn brownie points for originality, but this is a prime example where the fun rapport of the cast can elevate a so-so script. Recensie

I’m so impressed with Moore’s direction here and all the more impressive considering this is his directorial debut. Recensie

Instead of exciting and suspenseful, I find the movie tedious and overly slow. It’s less than 2 hours long but definitely feels longer and the mind games are neither tense nor chilling. Recensie

Shawn Levy might have been the right director for the job, it’s just the script is stale and staunchly unoriginal despite having no less than four writers credited. Recensie

On top of the positive reinforcements about body positivity and embracing one’s own uniqueness, this is such a fun, joyful movie for adults and kids alike. Recensie

I absolutely adore this movie… it’s an intimate portrait of an unconventional family that genuinely tugs my heartstrings. Recensie

Somehow I didn’t even know this movie existed and it turns out to be such a delightfully quirky movie! Recensie

Overall it was just ok for me, the songs aren’t all that memorable and it gets a bit too overly sentimental for my liking. Recensie

The French Dispatch is an amusing movie that’s fun to look at, but kind of feels empty. Recensie

I absolutely adore Cyrano… it’s pure cinematic escapism that’s exquisite in every sense of the word. Recensie

So while I appreciate what the filmmaker is trying to do and some of the intriguing choices he made, ultimately the film didn’t quite work for me. I’m glad I saw it, mostly because of Stewart’s performance who carried the film from start to finish. Recensie

This one isn’t exactly abhorrent, but under more capable hands, this movie could’ve been more intriguing and suspenseful. As it is, Uncharted is a serviceable crowd pleaser, that is the kind of crowd who don’t expect much from a piece of entertainment... Recensie

It’s cute and funny for the most part, but I Want You Back doesn’t transcend the genre nor offer anything new to make it stand out from the pack. Recensie

Despite its common tropes and predictability, the two leads still make this a worthwhile watch for Valentine’s weekend. Recensie

The lavish costumes and beautiful set pieces are nice to look at, but all the razzle dazzle can’t conceal a slapdash direction, a far cry from Branagh’s marvelous work of his personal drama Belfast. Recensie

The film can be slow at times but I was invested in the protagonist’s journey the entire time, I also appreciate the hopeful ending that feels organic instead of fantastical. Recensie

I’m impressed with Nikole Beckwith‘s sophomore feature that subverts the rom-com genre. The dialog is witty and flows naturally, and the story has a lot of emotional depth. Recensie

I can’t say the movie is enjoyable to watch and at the end I was questioning what the whole point was. Still, I think it’s a remarkable feature debut from Lauren Hadaway... Recensie

It’s not a perfect movie but as an immigrant, there’s plenty here to relate to and reflect on so it’s well worth a watch. Nana Mensah is so talented as the writer/director AND star, I’m curious to see what else she’ll do in the future! Recensie

Well, the premise is pretty funny and of course the idea of matchmaking is inherently amusing. Recensie
