The Wonder Weeks
But if, on the other hand, you are family people who believe in a better world and that your children could live peacefully with AI and sustainability… The Wonder Weeks offers you a gentle proposal and a chance to encounter the challenges of raising a baby.
Movie review
On a technical level, a correct film, with good performances of rather light comedy, the kind that won’t win you a Cesar or an Oscar.
It has a simple, natural script and is treated as a light comedy (also) at script and direction level, with a slow pace that marks well the times of the sequences and these, in the general tone,...

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Artsploitation Films. Director: Joram Lursen. Writers: J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) and Frank Ketelaar. Cast: Sarah Chronis, Tygo Gernandt, Marwan Kenzari. Dutch director Joram Lursen (primarily known for romantic comedies and Dutch television shows) enters into thriller territory with Reckless (Bloedlink), his version of 2009's The Disappearance of Alice Creed. While this viewer has not seen the original, there's a general consensus that this remake does not stray far from the first and, according to some critics, even surpasses it. In Lursen's film, Laura Temming, the daughter of a wealthy real estate mogul, is kidnapped by two masked men and held for ransom. Over a period of roughly two days, we observe the three characters in close quarters and discover that there's much more going on than anticipated. Reckless not only delivers an intriguing plot with phenomenal acting,...

It was all the way back in 2009 that young UK writer-director made his breakthrough with taut thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed. Blakeson, at the time, was rightly hailed as a bright young talent to watch, the sort of director who could easily prove to be the next Danny Boyle. He has since disappeared into development hell without a single other credit to his name in the five years since Alice disappeared.And though we still wait for Blakeson to reappear, there goes Alice popping up in the Netherlands thanks to Reckless (Bloedlink), a remake of Blakeson's film from director Joram Lürsen.Ex-cons Victor (Tygo Gernandt) and Rico (Marwan Kenzari) have masterminded a foolproof plan to abduct millonaires' daughter Laura Temming (Sarah Chronis). When she is kidnapped...

Kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed remade for Dutch audiences.
Producer Frans van Gestel is at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (Iffr) drumming up international interest in Joram Lürsen’s new thriller Reckless (Bloedlink), a Dutch remake of British kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed.
The film, produced by Oscar-nominated Dutch outfit Topkapi Films, is directly based on J Blakeson’s 2009 thriller, which starred Gemma Arterton, Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston
Speaking to ScreenDaily in Rotterdam, van Gestel said that the new film, now in post-production, is aimed primarily at a Dutch audience.
“Obviously, if you make a remake of a British film, it is not meant to travel around the world. It is meant to work really strongly in the domestic market.”
Van Gestel together with screenwriter Frank Ketelaar was looking for genre stories that could be made for a modest budget of around €1m.
