Het Mooiste Wat Er Is plot

Sam and Dominique have been together for 5 years. They enjoy their lives and are more than happy just the two of them. Do is 7 months pregnant and no longer works. Sam takes time off whenever he can. They lie in bed for days, they make love, laugh at her big belly, take trips in the tugboat at sunset. Everything is intense. But then the time has come: the birth. This does not go without a fight, but the little, young Max is born. Sam is bursting with happiness and thoroughly celebrates the arrival of his son with friends, neighbors and beers. Do is in bed with Max, happy and in love with her beautiful little son. But can love survive after the arrival of their baby?

I'm not even going to try to write an objective piece here, rarely so annoyed with a movie character as what Heijmans portrays here, with his flaxen beard - really, if you can't grow a beard, don't - and that constant yelling and fussing. Usually, in quarrels between husband and wife, I stand firmly behind the man, because he has the most rational side. The fact that I now fully supported Sallie Harmsen says enough.

And in this case, the direction doesn't cooperate either. We first get to know the loser side of Heijmans, the moment he is an asshole, and then you see bits of before that he acts sweet and nice, but I keep seeing him as Mr. failed, and that just never gets better. The rest didn't interest me either, Harmsen does his best but can't do it alone either, Ter Steege acted everyone home but had too small a part and the film didn't look very nice either; nothing to enjoy.

In itself, there would have been quite a few, with a young couple that grows apart a bit with the arrival of a baby, but in a correct chronology (really, that playing with time is not only wrong as explained, but it has no function at all) and not the exaggerated reactions of Heijmans. 0.5*.

Blue Valentine clone that will scare you. Not only the characters grow apart, but also the chronology is similar. The unfortunate thing about this film is that it has to do with standard writing and very unsympathetic characters. Little sparkling vision and the standard screaming and kissing work back and forth makes for a mediocre and uninspired print.

Sam [Maarten Heijmans] falls head over heels in love with Dominique [Sallie Harmsen], and at a chance second meeting that feeling turns out to be mutual. Love is about roses, until the relationship takes serious shape. From then on it is only doom and gloom. The latter certainly applies to the viewer, because the strong acting of Heijmans and Harmsen offers insufficient compensation for this weak clone of Turks Delight. Jolein Laarman's screenplay jumps through time, but only shows the highs and lows, without any depth or explanation. And so we bounce from one melodramatic incident after the other with two rather annoying main characters.
