Filmrecensies van William Eguizabal

The elements were here. Sadly the direction lets down the middle of the road material that’s elevated by very fun performances from the films leads. Recensie

A sadly disappointing rendition for the Austen fans out there and one that won’t hold a candle to the modern versions of Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice. Recensie

Lesley Manville is infinitely charming as Mrs. Harris. It fires on all cylinders when it comes to the script it’s funny when it needs to be, it hits you emotional at just the correct moments to be effective. Recensie

What I got was an utterly disappointing animated feature. One I can’t even call run of the mill because it’s so bad. It’s not well animated and it’s quite bland to look at. Recensie

It’s a coming of age tale told from a unique and rather interesting perspective. One that isn’t often seen much. It’s well acted and well directed. Recensie

It hits more than it misses so for that I can happily recommend this unique cinematic experience. Recensie

It had me crying, laughing, it left me happy but also emotional. It does everything a film should do for an audience. Recensie

The script is a jumbled, cliche-riddled mess, Song and O’Connell have no chemistry and the whole thing would be a lot more interesting if it was just a painted wall drying for a thankfully short 85 minutes. Recensie

A smaller, intimate story. One told with heft and love. Recensie

The central romance has enough chemistry but fails in places that other similar Netflix romances have succeeded and it fails in the same places as well. Recensie

A fantastic surprise coming out of Tribeca this is one that I didn’t know what to expect. What I got was a film that explores a culture I wasn’t familiar with. Recensie

I wanted to like this but the action wasn’t good enough to warrant the absurdity of the overall narrative. Joey King is fine but, like honestly she needs better projects. Recensie

This film lives and dies on the performance of its lead actress Alexandria Trewhitt. Luckily for this film, her wit and charm carry the material (which was already pretty good). Recensie

Insofar as animated films in 2022 go this is one that exists and its purpose is soul-sucking profits. Recensie

J. Smith-Cameron is so good here as Clemence’s mother Sherri. She’s the heart of the film and I saw a lot of my very own mother in Sherri. This film comes highly recommended. Recensie

Solid recommendation for this comedy…even if it’s funny only most of the time. Recensie

It isn’t funny. It’s just a straight-up old-hat sort of performance from Kevin Hart. Recensie

This is a really interesting film. It seems like Lanthimos-lite. It has quirky and strange characters who have more sinister intentions. Recensie

By the numbers. That’s the best way to explain this one. Two dueling suitors is a trope that many romcoms utilize and sometimes it can be done in such a way that it really does work. Recensie

What a masterful piece of documentary filmmaking. For anyone around my age seeing this show discussed in such a way is an almost cathartic experience. Recensie

Joseph Kosinski is proving to be an absolutely stellar director. When you look up and down his filmography one thing is clear he is excellent at telling stories on and about the human condition. Recensie

Putting the biases (both personal and the ones portrayed here) aside the documentary itself spotlights a figure in modern history that is divisive and controversial to an epic degree. Recensie

Garcia is really good here and Estefan is a surprise. Most of the jokes are fine and hit where intended. Recensie

The best thing going for this film is its runtime. It’s a paper-thin plot that is stretched to right about its limit. Jasmina Douieb is the centerpiece here and she’s actually FANTASTIC as the fed-up Inès. Recensie
