Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

Razor sharp, whippy and fun, Black Bag is a joy to experience in the theatre. Recensie

While not a complete disaster, and while possessing a charming lead performance from Rachel Zegler, the tonal shifts, all over the place cinematography, Gal Gadot and a handful of wildly animated dwarves makes this reimagining a misfire. Recensie

There’s nothing you haven’t seen before here, and the dual role De Niro plays can at times be distracting; but damn it is great to watch him play a mobster. Recensie

Bong Joon Ho’s post Best Picture return to cinemas is a little too absurdist, and a little too hamfisted, to be truly great; but there are some fun unique sci-fi moments here mixed with a wonderful lead performance. Recensie

A beautiful and subtly tense examination of a horrific real life story, that feels ripped authentically and heartbreakingly from a different time. Recensie

The Last Journey is a wonderful exploration of aging, that feels real and honest despite occasional digressions into contrivance. Recensie

In pursuing the intrigue and high-stakes of Winter Soldier, this new Captain America iteration replaces nuance and great action with CGI mess, nonsense dialogue and a plot that jumps around like a third of the film is missing. Recensie

A towering achievement, and a manifesto to creativity in its most pure forms. Recensie

A glorious, toe-tapping, inventive exploration of a man on the edge. Recensie

Mufasa doesn’t so much roar onto screens, as thud onto them with a woof. This one’s an absolute dog. Recensie

This third entry goes big on the voice talent and explosions, but loses much of the fun of the first instalment. Recensie

Gothic horror mixes with Eggers typical precision and remarkable performances to craft a frighteningly well realised reinvention of this cinematic classic. Recensie

A high-gloss, high-reward adaptation of the famous stage show. Recensie

The return of the swords and sandals action epic from the master himself captures some of the magic of the original, but doesn’t come close to touching its legacy. Recensie

Soulful, complex and wonderfully acted, Memory is a memorable watch for sure. Recensie

It’s undeniably ‘Happy’, but this Pharrell Williams doco feels a little gimmicky. Recensie

Gorgeously shot, remarkably tense and undeniably intriguing, Conclave is a masterpiece. Recensie

A serviceable match, but ultimately there’s no ace in this interesting documentary that breaks no new ground. Recensie

Some fun action moments give this otherwise sluggish action thriller a much needed boost. Recensie

Just as chaotic as the rest of this franchise, although never quite realising the fun of the first instalment, Venom: The Last Dance ushers out this character with a whimper, not a howl. Recensie

This snapshot of Lee Miller’s life is curiously unaffecting at times, but certainly has elements to keep you interested. Recensie

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is a uniquely insightful piece of filmmaking. It’ll break your heart and fill you with hope, but in doing so makes itself unmissable viewing on the big screen. Recensie

It’s tough to get a handle on who this movie is for. The last one might have been polarising, but it was also fantastic. This one seems intent on pleasing nobody; and takes its bloody time doing so! Recensie

My Old Ass is a very sweet and lovable film that will have you feeling all the feels. Recensie
