Lautlos (2004)
This movie did NOT stand the test of time!
I guess inside his mind director Mennan Yapo wast trying to create a stylish, somewhat leftfield dark thriller. In reality though 'Lautlos' turned out to be what may be the weakest film ever to be released by X- Filme creative pool. The acting is poor (despite the presence of the lovely Nadja Uhl), the dialogues are totally artificial and the story is a bore. To me it's a riddle why this movie has an average score of 6.6 Maybe one or two people may have found this film to be 'interesting' or even brave back in 2004? Having watched this only recent in 2016 I can assure you this movie did NOT stand the test of time. It's a total waste of time, talent and money.
De storm (2009)
A huge event turned into a truly disappointing movie
56 years after the devastating 'big flood' of 1953 the tragedy finally makes it to to the big screen. After a wait this long it's even more a shame that such a big event in Dutch history turned out to be such a disappointing movie. Where other movies, like for instance Titanic, successfully use a personal drama as a metaphor for the bigger picture, 'De Storm' gets lost in a totally unrealistic and very one dimensional story about a woman losing her baby. The movie ends up almost ignoring the tragedy all those other thousands of people where facing during this flood. The characters in this movie aren't properly introduced so as a spectator you feel no connection at all with the leading roles. The dialogs are very poor and the acting, especially from leading lady Sylvia Hoeks, is a disgrace!!!
Just do yourself a favor and avoid this movie
