A good movie

Posted : 12 years, 11 months ago on 25 May 2011 12:20

I think the main reason I was attracted this flick was, first of all, because of its really neat title. Indeed, the international title sounded really generic while there was something quite catchy about the original Dutch title. Apparently, it was based on a popular Dutch book but I havenโ€™t read it. A part from that, the other appeal was to see Carice van Houten, easily the most successful and probably most talented Dutch actress of the last 10 years. Since then, she has developed an international career but, sometimes, I have the feeling that the Dutch media exaggerate her actual impact. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, to be honest, was nothing really amazing or original but I thought it was still a good romantic feature. Indeed, all the actors involved, especially Carice van Houten, gave some good performances and the directing was competent enough. In my opinion, the characters were also well developed but, at the end of the day, like mostof the Dutch movies, it was missing something to become truly remarkable. To conclude, all in all, I thought it was decent feature and it is definitely worth a look especially if you're interested in Dutch movies.
