De Krantenman

About This Movie

De Krantenman is an interesting debut film from Jetske Lieber. It has a very down-to-earth vibe, capturing that quaint yet relatable atmosphere of small-town life. The pacing might feel a bit slow for some, but it really allows you to soak in Boris’s world as he navigates his unusual friendship with Wies, initiated by a football mishap. The performances are natural and engaging, especially with the chemistry between the leads. There's something simple yet profound about the themes of connection and unexpected bonds that resonates. The practical effects are modest, focusing more on character interactions than flashy visuals, which adds to its charm. It’s one of those films that feels more intimate, more like a quiet observation of youth.
