Gisterenavond ging tijdens het Amerikaanse Sundance Film Festival Felix Van Groeningens langverwachte Belgica in wereldpremière. Kort na de vertoning gooiden de aanwezige toeschouwers zowel hun positieve als negatieve reacties op het web over het filmische bacchanaal. Wij gingen daarom eens een kijkje nemen op Twitter!

BELGICA has a terrific sense of place and a soundtrack I’d love to hear more of, but that’s all the praise I can muster.

And the first movie of my first Sundance was… Belgica! It was all right. Great music, cliched story.

BELGICA: Brothers found a bar on punk idealism, then reality, daddy issues set in. Unsurprising, but still a joyous, sloppy party. #sundance

BELGICA: Hard to believe the director of BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN could make such a pointless & unpleasant film. Can’t win em all. #Sundance

Nothing new in BELGICA’s rise-and-fall-of-nightclub-owning-brothers arc, but the music/atmosphere/despair are all strong. #Sundance16

Belgica was a good way to start things off but it tends to slow down a lot in the last half hour. Killer soundtrack though. #Sundance B ish

Belgica big on music moodiness and great recreation of club atmosphere/performances but lacks emotional heft of Broken Circle Bdwn #sundance
