Absurdism layered too thick
16 August 2023
Being a big fan of Hans Teeuwen and of most of the Dutch actors in this movie arguably has a very counterproductive effect on my opinion of it.

As other reviewers stated, in the end it's all not that original. It's a drama teacher that goes too far, after being invited by an actor that is too weak to keep control of the situation.

We have some of the best actors in the country performing here, but in the end it all seems a bit like a hobby project, at times reminding me of the Dutch improvisation theater show 'De Vloer Op'.

Everything together makes me wonder if the movie might've worked out better with a cast of 'unknowns'. Having famous actors perform the role of famous actors causes the absurdism to lay too thick on top of everything.
