Instinct

Came to see the film because of the great actors and the exciting trailer. It was actually a nice and easy first half of the film. The acting is really really good. After a while I was wondering: who is more crazy, he or she? Unfortunately their issues stayed a bit on the surface, it was not clear what the origin was. However, their emotional state about it was unmistakable and the acting on point. When the film ended, I was just a bit in shock and left with a lot of questions. But I assume that was how it is meant to be. Overall, a very good movie with some distressing, somewhat creepy elements. Worth watching!!!

Vulnerability, manipulation, loneliness, fascination of evil and a not perfect but far to be bad story. A psychologist, a sexual predator behind the bars and a relation giving more its ambiguity than explanations. Good acting, fair accents and good kick to reflect about situations and...instinct. The good point , obvious Carice van Houtten and the special aspect - the relation of Nicoline with her mother.

This film is one of the 2020 filmbox of de Volkskrant. Out of 11 films this movie is rated by us at the lowest point 5. Bad audibly sound - for us - and a not realistic plot, poor dialogues and indeed a predictable end. However we enjoyed the wide shots which is in favour of our overview. Acting must have been difficult with such a screenplay to follow.

Missed some Interaction and depth. Acting it self was strong.

But a very strange story. Carice is great but here Translation half of the movie is absurd.
