SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
jamirosmajic This is a true Dutch Hallmark and shows us that this small country can deliver a very intelligent and yet touching film. The actors display an outstanding performance, even though the majority of the cast consists of young aspiring actors. No but seriously, this is so bad that it's brilliant. I have great respect for Carry Slee, who even though she can't write, made so much money of utter bullshit. It's amazing. Even for a children story/film this is horrible and totally inaccurate. Ride that dragon Carry and Carry us to oblivious rip offs. THEY MADE 7 FILMS OUT OF HER LIST OF BAD PRE-TEEN LITERATURE AND THEY ALMOST SELL EVERY TIME!!!She must be some kind of God.Amen.
themicktrix This movie sucked so much! the plot is predictable unrealistic and so bad. the directing is one big cliché! Brainpower plays some kind of goodie2shoes. and the one liners of the actors are to be ashamed about like the comment: nou dat wordt dus een 1 it's just to bad and its so stupid that the girl wakes up when she smells the food. And the burgling scene is stupid. how does he open the door? i just think its to much problems to be just a bit realistic the movie does bad to the novels although the novels are quite unrealistic to they do give some kind of inside to the possible troubles of a teenager. i think this is the worst Dutch movie ever.
fromwalking This is a film noir in my opinion. A drama about young people (16-18) and it reflects the problems they have these day's: either you belong to a certain group or you don't. In some groups you're cool if you go along using drugs, in others you'll be banned. It's a story of children of said ages that fall in love but don't know how to cope with that feeling. It's a movie about ambitions and parents that don't listen to well to their adolescence. Parents that keep their children on a leach and be suspicious. Not an easy job anyway. You see the normal everyday problems of families these days. Furthermore, good acting, hip-hop music by Brainpower, good camera works and editing. This is a Dutch film and a typical one too: meaning no nonsense, toilet scenes, frustrated mumblings and drugs. Reality detail: when using the internet to chat, you clearly see the popular MSN configurations. Spoken language is Dutch, but on the DVD you can have subtitles in Dutch (for Flamish viewers), English and French. Spoken language to too harsh, no violence, no sex, no death although the players do their best to get there. Great film.
dilbertsuperman This is a film that is basically an after-school special television quality flick supposed to show us the horrors of Ecstasy but it lacks the balls to show anything real and the entire thing is just a lack of plot, talent and accuracy. The whole thing feels wrong- as if the people writing the script and directing the scenes have no clue about the subject matter or don't have the balls to present it in a realistic format.The dancing is pretty sad for the most part- the plot is about a young hip hop dancer who aspires for greatness, only to meet a good looking dancer with lots of Ecstasy. After that happens we get a lot of standard issue home drama scenes- the clueless concerned parents, the rebellious addict teen, etc.. this is all cookie cutter suburban viewpoint garbage- it is poorly acted, lacks any real detail or realism to the subject matter and all in all is a complete and utter waste of time. Go see "Fucking Amal" instead.
