hyped garbage

Did you people see the same film I saw?

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I like class(y) stories. I like depictions (of people and/or situations, even whole towns that might be involved. This story or should I say idea, sounds more than intriguing. And the actors play very well also.So what don't I like about it? I think it is a little over it's head here. It tries much and packs a whole lotta story in here, but never succeeds to deliver fully. Yes occasionally you feel more than intrigued, although truth be told the overall feeling is that you don't care as much for the father as you should have. It's a nice drama then, that is a little over packed, but then again most liked it here, so you might want to give it a shot! don't forget the slow moving pace!

I think "de ind ringer" is one of the best Belgium movies ever! It's a great plot, there great actors in it! In the beginning there many mysteries; what happened with his daughter? Who's that mystic girl ? What does the villages know what the world can't know ?...But at the end of the movie everything becomes clear.The acting is also really great, every body already knew that Koen De Bouw, Els Dottermans, Axel Daeseleire and Filip Peeters were great but I think the surprise came from the unknowing actress Maaike Neuville, he acting was just great!So that was what I thought about the movie, I recommend everybody who didn't already saw it to go see him!

Overall, I found it an OK movie, but only if you are willing to follow to the end. Cinema goers with only entertainment on their mind will find it hard to stay focused. Though the story is not that complicated, writer Ward Hulselmans performed kind of the same trick as he did with the series "Stille Waters". Pose the question (what happened to the little girl?), give some clues, turn away to a different problem that has seemingly less to do with the actual plot and bringing it all together in the end. But that's fine, De Bouw and Peeters were terrific and newcomer Neuville shows some great talent. It is a pity though that the southern part of Belgium (Wallonia) has become a foreign and hostile land in the collective Flemish mind. And this film (together with Calvaire) doesn't really improve that image.

latest film with koen de bouw and other "famous" belgian stars of the with screen. the trouble with this movie is that there are flemish actors acting in the french language which is not nice! but hey we are after all considering belgian film right... anyway i did not like this movie too much not to say i disliked it in total. acting performances were good according to belgian standards but the script was not any use what soever. and this still reads like a major understatement. if the director would have treated himself on a new set of scissors i might have have been milder on his judgement! on the other hand i do believe this is his first performance on the big screen and i hope he will learn from this one.
