In Orange Reviews

Ever since I have been living in the Netherlands, I have been interested in the Dutch movies. In the 10 years I have been there, I have seen many movies and, I have to admit it, the Dutch movie industry is not really impressive. For example, every year, only a few Dutch movies manage to make a splash at the box-office and not really because they are really great. Indeed, one of the leading genres is the family feature which has been quite successful for many years. Personally, I think it has to do with the fact that, in the Netherlands, except for the animated features, all the movies remain in their native language and if the parents wants to watch with their kids a live action feature for a change, they basically have to watch a Dutch movie. Anyway, some of them are actually not half bad and this movie was definitely one of them. Indeed, even though I thought it was still rather pedestrian and predictable, it was quite entertaining and it is definitely a nice watch for young kids. To conclude, even though I think it might be slightly overrated in the Netherlands, it is actually worth a look, especially if you are interested in Dutch movies.
