Filmrecensies van Hope Madden

Stefano Sollima serves up a fine, edgy piece of action for the summer. It’s just that I’d hoped for more. Recensie

Even the way Baker captures the water evokes the idea of imperfection and wonder, unlike those crystal blue, foaming tubes we’ve become used to. Recensie

Though he does not shy away from showing human carnage, there is not a fresh or compelling set piece in the film. Recensie

The problem with the film is the problem with the heist itself: it was fun while it lasted, but was there really a purpose? Recensie

It does have style, though, and something relevant to say. Recensie

Together, cast and director generate scares by relying less on imagination and more on your familiarity with the genre itself. Recensie

Pierce creates a moody tension inside the walls, exacerbated by the explosion of rage and violence outside. Recensie

A pretty film and a nice story, but never finds the depth to break your heart. Recensie

Fanning’s listless performance casts an awfully prim shadow. She’s surrounded by perfectly reasonable if somewhat anemic turns by her supporting cast. Recensie

The conflict, duality and self-discovery in Beast cannot help but draw you in, asking you about your own inner beast. Recensie

Whannell freshens up the technophobe dystopian narrative with a few fresh ideas, a silly streak and serious violence. Recensie

Binoche’s generous performance as the self-sabotaging Isabelle embraces the insecurities, optimism and neediness that color the character’s quest. Recensie

It pretends a lot of things, sometimes very colorfully and often entertainingly, but without a raucous atonal tune to push it forward... Recensie

Because of the way Zhao plays with light, uses music, and fills the screen with the desolate beauty of the American plains, the film qualifies as a sleepy epic. Recensie

Is very funny, often quite clever, and sometimes wrong-minded in the best way. Recensie

The terror here is far less paranormal than existential, and clever clues combine with crisp writing to create a full picture that’s more satisfying than it should probably be. Recensie

Between Fargeat’s wild aesthetic, four very solid performances, and thoughtful yet visceral storytelling, the film feels break-neck, terrifying and entirely satisfying. Recensie

Too bad McTeigue has no idea how to exploit any of the tenser elements Engle gives him... Recensie

The film isn’t awful, but it isn’t good. Mainly, there is just nothing new to see here. Recensie

Perhaps most damaging is the utter absence of chemistry between the leads, making every inch toward romance feel unnatural and, honestly, almost creepy. Recensie

Their looping timelines provide fertile ground for clever turns that fans of the filmmakers will find delightful, but the uninitiated will appreciate as well. Recensie

The film isn’t terrible, it’s just tedious... Recensie

The film is not terrible. Recensie

Schumer does what she can with this superficial, blandly rote script. Recensie
