Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

The women in the film, particularly Glenn Close and Amy Adams, are the standouts here, while Gabriel Basso is quite convincing as Vance. Recensie

I quite like Danielle Macdonald, the talented Australian actress I first saw in Lady Bird and Falling For Figaro. Recensie

Seeing Kong and Godzilla working together is a hoot, though I barely remember much of the story even days later, ha! Recensie

In all, there is nothing remotely fabulous about this movie, even the song and dance finale feels like a copycat of Mamma Mia which handles longtime-female friendships in a much more heartfelt and hilarious way. Recensie

Dandelion is a more raw and edgy character study, thanks to Riegel’s affecting screenplay and Layne’s layered performance. Recensie

Amidst the bombastic action, silly breaking-fourth-wall sequences, and bonkers violence, the main theme here is friendship, so there is a heart in there somewhere beneath the mangled rubble. Recensie

Despite the rather vain-sounding title, I Am is more than a puffed-up, feel-good documentary that idolizes its subject. Recensie

It’s the luminous Bennett who carries the film and brings Widow Clicquot’s story to life. One doesn’t have to be a wine connoisseur or even like the taste of champagne to appreciate this story of a wine pioneer, so let me raise a glass to this exquisite gem of a movie. Recensie

There’s a bit of a queasy feeling that Twisters might hit too close to home, but in the end, this disaster adventure flick is definitely more escapist entertainment. Recensie

This movie excels on a technical level, with stunning cinematography by Oscar Faura and a rousing score by Amelia Warner. The storytelling style isn’t groundbreaking but it’s an elegantly-made sports drama. Recensie

I read a bunch of reviews criticizing the plastic looks of Kidman and Efron, but you know what, it’s the least of the movie’s problems. The saggy and wrinkly script is the one in desperate need of a facelift. Recensie

I find Fly Me To The Moon to be the fun pleasant surprise of the summer so far! I had fun with this one despite the rather long running time. Recensie

It’s a fun action flick that’s perfect for streaming. It’s light and fun with an undemanding plot that mostly coasts on the nostalgia factor. Recensie

It’s an interesting story well-told, not the most thrilling ride, but it’s still well worth the journey. Recensie

It’s embarrassingly bad and a total waste of the talented cast. Recensie

The visuals are stunning, and the story has more depth and emotional resonance than I expected. Recensie

It’s only 40 minutes long but packs such an emotional punch. Recensie

Glad to see Nyong’o in a leading role, as she has such a commanding presence, down to the last frame. Sarnoski proves once again that he’s got writing and directing chops with his sophomore feature, though I hope he returns to doing a small indie project next. Recensie

Brats isn’t the most riveting documentary I’ve seen, but it doesn’t aim to be one. It’s an amusing and reflective walk down memory lane, especially for Gen Xers like me, that shows how celebrities have the same insecurities, worries, and self-doubts as regular folks, if not more so. Recensie

This is such a captivating and eye-opening documentary that makes for a strong case for the Academy’s recognition in an entertaining way. Recensie

Art as a healing power is a concept we’ve seen before, but it’s never felt as authentic and personal as Ghostlight, thanks to the cast’s phenomenal performances. Recensie

It’s the perfect family entertainment; the vibrant colors and gorgeous animation will dazzle kids, while adults, teenagers, and their parents will find the characters’ inner thoughts and tumult relatable. Recensie

Just like the persona-shifting protagonist, this clever crime caper also doubles as a sassy rom-com. I’d love to see more comedy-caper romance like this that’s unafraid to be a bit steamy while unabashedly wearing its heart on its sleeve. Recensie

This is a quintessential popcorn summer action flick that makes the most of Smith and Lawrence’s fun rapport. Recensie
