The Florida project

Children on the edge of Disneyland.

You can be quite gloomy making films about poverty. The Films that you suppress, the films that you make angry, the films that you empathy to appeal to. And you can make a film such as ‘The Florida project’, where the energy and fun of afspat. It is just because you give to a young mother and her little daughter that you can get.

Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

Mother with a mission.

With three billboards along the road requires a woman that the local police are finally making the rape and murder of her daughter. It demands righteousness: #TimesUp. But this film goes beyond hashtags and shows that behind vijandbeelden real people lie, with their own sensitivities and contradictions. The director of ‘In Bruges’ does that with as much nuance as exaggeration, humor, and with all the emotions from anger to regret. This is a masterclass in storytelling and a gripping film about people who have but people. Must-see.

Star wars: The last jedi

One of the best in the series.

The new ‘Star wars’ comes with a animal-friendly undertone, not a little helped by the cute bird-like critters that look like puffins: the Porgs. They put Chewbacca in a dilemma: you can be a Porg to the spit to run and eat while his cute soortgenootjes watch?

Paddington 2

The bear does it again.

In Brexit-times and export the not so United Kingdom are knuffelbaarste hero: not Noel Gallagher, but the less sinners bear Paddington. The story takes a dark turn, because it caressingly immigrant with brown skin is falsely of theft accused and in prison thrown. Fortunately, he can, like no other, rolls lubricate and syrup to the beard. This film celebrates unabashedly old-fashioned, forgotten values such as optimism and naivety. You want the all the children.

Knife in the clear water

Chinese poetry.

In the empty landscape of the west of China, the muslim Hui. Reviewer Ruben Aerts was under the impression of the austere, poetic style with which this Chinese debut tells the story of a man and his son who are mourning for what is lost irrevocably. To see in Sphinx (Ghent), UGC (Antwerp) and Aventure (Brussels).
