Soul (2020) 95% 4/5 “It's rare that an animated feature from a big franchise leaves both adult and youth audiences pondering their purpose in life. Yet, Pixar and Disney's 'Soul' does this and so much more with humor, sensitivity and grace.” – moms.com Dec 29, 2020 Full Review The Croods: A New Age (2020) 76% 3/5 “The Croods: A New Age is a beautifully animated feature that is full of adventure, lessons learned and unique plot twists. It is loaded with allegory, and there are many teachable moments.” – moms.com Dec 7, 2020 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 51% 3/4 “The 'Lion King' is engaging, cinematically beautiful, and showcases some of the rich cultural traditions of Africa. Though at times, the CGI was a little distracting.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019) 44% 4/4 “'The Art of Racing In The Rain' is definitely a family movie that provides plenty of opportunities to talk with kids and teenagers about: life, death, raising children and changes in family dynamics.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% 3/4 “A 'salt of the Earth' type of film that shows nature's beauty and power. The characters within the film carry much spiritual and emotional weight. Some scenes may be difficult for dog lovers and younger audiences to watch at certain times too.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review Frozen II (2019) 77% 4/4 “Disney's 'Frozen 2' far exceeds the original animated film. The character development, storyline and the overall themes are more nuanced, detailed and intriguing. There are some scenes that may insight fear in smaller kids, but overall it's kid-friendly.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) 40% 2/4 “'Disney's Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' is beautifully animated, but there are many dark moments and themes within the movie that overshadow the notion that this film is supposed to be for kids or younger audiences.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) 60% 3/4 “'The Secret Life Of Pets 2' highlights the power of teamwork, perseverance, and overcoming fear. It's a wonderful family movie that both adults and kids can enjoy together.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review Spies in Disguise (2019) 77% 3.5/4 “'Spies In Disguise' is a great movie for the entire family. There are positive themes of embracing differences, taking ownership of idiosyncrasies, and showcases the benefits of not giving up. This film also shows kids that nerds and science are cool too!” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review Harriet (2019) 74% 3/4 “'Harriet' is not a film about slavery. It's a powerful, inspirational and redemptive film about a woman who changed the course of American history.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review EMMA. (2020) 86% 3.5/4 “Autumn de Wilde's 'Emma' is a thoughtful and charming take on Austen's classic novel. Comedic undertones perfectly balance heavier themes centering the social constructs of marriage, preoccupation with pedigree and excessive privilege. It's a must see.” – moms.com Nov 15, 2020 Full Review Charm City Kings (2020) 79% 4/5 “Powerful drama highlights the power of choices; violence.” – Common Sense Media Oct 24, 2020 Full Review Emperor (2020) 67% 3/5 “Fact-based historical drama has courage, violence.” – Common Sense Media Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Jump Shot: The Kenny Sailors Story (2019) 100% 4/5 “Inspirational sports docu about basketball legend.” – Common Sense Media Jul 16, 2020 Full Review A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps (2019) 83% 3/5 “Informative documentary promotes global activism.” – Common Sense Media Jun 4, 2020 Full Review A Kid From Coney Island (2019) 100% 4/5 “Inspiring sports docu shows value of perseverance.” – Common Sense Media May 4, 2020 Full Review Assassin 33 A.D. (2020) 73% 3/5 “Religion and time-travel converge in intense thriller.” – Common Sense Media Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Only (2019) 37% 4.5/5 “Takashi Doscher's Only depicts a love that we rarely get to see on screen.” – Black Girl Nerds Mar 24, 2020 Full Review The Banker (2020) 78% 4/5 “'60s-set drama highlights housing, banking discrimination.” – Common Sense Media Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Extracurricular (2018) 57% 2/5 “Dark, morbid teen horror with lots of blood, gore, murder.” – Common Sense Media Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Burden (2018) 49% 3/5 “Dramatic true story of redemption has racial violence.” – Common Sense Media Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Eve's Bayou (1997) 84% 4/5 “'90s African American family drama has violence, language.” – Common Sense Media Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Rosewood (1997) 87% 4/5 “Action-packed historical drama; some violence.” – Common Sense Media Feb 28, 2020 Full Review The Photograph (2020) 74% 3/5 “Genuine romantic drama positively showcases Black love.” – Common Sense Media Feb 18, 2020 Full Review Light From Light (2019) 93% 4/5 “Beautiful drama about loss gently touches on supernatural.” – Common Sense Media Jan 16, 2020 Full Review
