The Moving True Story of a Woman Ahead of Her Time Reviews

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect from this flick but since it won the Golden Calf of the best Dutch movie of the year, I was quite eager to check it out. To be honest, like most Dutch features, the whole thing was not really original but I still liked it though. Indeed, the production value was pretty neat, the whole thing looked really good and convincing and, all in all, it was just rather well done. On top of that, all the actors involved did a good job and I especially enjoyed Monic Hendrickx who is rightfully regarded as one of the best Dutch female actress around. Concerning the story, I thought it was interesting and entertaining enough but I was still missing something. Indeed, if you compare it to your average Dutch production, sure the whole thing was quite ambitious but, at the end of the day, it remains a rather straightforward historical/biographical drama which faithfully follows the rules of the genre without taking any risk at all. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it is still a decent flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you're interested in Dutch movies
