Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

Despite the ensemble cast filled with some of the funniest comediennes, there are so few funny moments here, mostly cringe-worthy ones actually. Recensie

Drive My Car is a thought-provoking ride that’s enthralling in its quiet intensity. There’s a lot of unpack here that leaves me ruminating even days after I watched it. Recensie

There’s such beauty in simplicity, as well as brevity… at just 72 minutes long, Sciamma created a spellbinding movie that packs an emotional punch. Recensie

Overall I had a blast with this one and enjoyed it even more than the first movie. Recensie

Atlantics is a gorgeous, poetic, mesmerizing film that really lingers long after the end credits. I’m glad the film is on Netflix so I can easily rewatch it soon. Recensie

I enjoyed the film despite my qualms about Miranda’s directing style. The inherently theatrical approach and editing style gets in the way a bit of the story, so tick, tick…BOOM! is far from being my favorite musicals. Still, I’m glad I saw it and Garfield’s astounding performance alone made this well worth a watch. Recensie

T’s an engaging directorial debut that balances heavy themes with a kid’s innocence and wide-eyed wonder. At a time where superhero movies dominate cinematic content, it’s refreshing to see an ordinary boy being the hero of his own story. Recensie

The Lost Daughter is a bold and even defiant film that tackles a taboo subject that’s rarely depicted on screen. Recensie

The Power of The Dog is one of the most potent and haunting psychological drama that really gets under my skin. Recensie

Setting the story of a malfunctioning digital device in the form of a cute bubble bot is so clever and hits so close to home even for adults like me. Recensie

Michael Sarnoski is a filmmaker to watch in his feature directorial debut. I like his story telling style that takes its time in the way it reveals the character’s journey, and the payoff in the end is an emotional one. Recensie

This one was enjoyable, I guess I didn’t expect too much out of his action flicks and I always find him watchable despite the movie’s flaws. Recensie

Quite a disappointment from Matthew Vaughn as I enjoyed the first two Kingsman movies. Recensie

Overall it has enough going for it to make for a good family movie, but doesn’t have enough oomph to make it a classic. Recensie

The Tragedy of Macbeth exceeds my expectations in every respect and definitely one of the absolute best films of the year. Recensie

One thing for sure, I spent a great deal of time being discombobulated or bored, there were barely any uplifting moments that got me engaged or made me want to cheer. Recensie

No Way Home is a great example of ‘fan service’ done right that make people fall in love with the characters all over again. Recensie

Sing 2 is an enjoyable, lively and life-affirming movie that one can enjoy with the whole family this holiday season. Recensie

As someone who isn’t too familiar with Lucille Ball’s life, I find it quite entertaining and eye-opening in presenting Lucy as a complex artist who weathered the storm during a turbulent period of her professional and personal life. Recensie

This film further proves that Spielberg’s still got it and he is truly a master filmmaker who can thrive in any genre. Recensie

This movie made me laugh and cry, it’s thought-provoking, funny, relatable and emotional, just what every movie should be! Recensie

Obsession, envy, jealousy are all themes explored throughout, but despite its provocative finale, it doesn’t quite mask its superficiality. Recensie

Overall this is a rousing, uplifting biopic with a terrific script and spot-on performances. Recensie

Now, I don’t expect every movie to be award-worthy, but even ‘brainless’ movies ought to still offer some kind of entertainment value, otherwise WHAT IS THE POINT?? Recensie
