Nr. 10

If you (also) like unusual non Hollywood films, then you should give this one a chance. The film starts in one genre and ends in a different one. Van Warmerdam films have a distinct style, just like Wes Anderson films have a distinct style. If you like this one, then there are nine more to see.

One of the worst movies I've seen in a decade. The acting and writing of the first part is actually really good and believeable. The second part is what makes you forget the great acting from talents such as Bokma and Kesting. The second part is bad in every sense of the word. It's never creative and/or well worked out. It felt like jumping into a swimming pool covered with a thick layer of ice. Why this movie ever got funded beats me... the fact that it scores decently here on IMDB is something I just don't understand, but I can guess how that happened...

Goede Nederlandse film, goede plots en veranderingen. Het wordt absurd, maar GA. DIT. ZIEN! Donkere humor en goede dialogen met een hoop verrassingen.

It would be very easy to spoil your enjoyment of this film if I revealed the unexpected direction the plot takes in its final 30 minutes. It is a twist that strains the viewers' credibility, a twist exposed like someone pulling the proverbial ace up the sleeve, when we have been trusting that it is a comedy-drama about infidelity between theater people who are rehearsing a new production, but once one accepts and adapts to the genre that the film suddenly assumes, "Nr. 10" is a pleasant experience that makes you smile gently. However, when one reconsiders the plot and, if possible, watches the movie again, clues abound throughout the story suggesting that something strange is going on.

An original film with a good script that maintains the viewers' curiosity without ever betraying their trust. Of special interest to atheists, theater artists and mystery fans. In the end the film serves its purpose.

If you already know Alex Van Wamerdam, you won't be deceived, at least you won't be surprised. Though it is not my favorite from him, far from that, I admit it is still worth the watch, because it looks not like other films. Evverything is totally unpredictable. The Van Warmerdam's trademark. I am puzzled however, after he viewing. I still wonder which kind of film I was dealing with.
