Sneaks (2025) 33% “This animated adventure isn't likely to win any artistry awards for its aesthetics, but it's mostly lighthearted fun for families and kids.” – Common Sense Media Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Uninvited (2024) 85% “This drama can feel a little out of touch—how many of us regularly attend Hollywood garden parties?—but the heart of the film is an emotional message about the thanklessness of womanhood.” – Common Sense Media Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Eric LaRue (2023) 71% “This drama directed by Michael Shannon has deep, compelling performances, but the script strangely fails the actors. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Unfavorable Odds (2022) “With scenes that drag on too long, humor that's not very funny, and a premise that's hard to believe or root for, this comedy can feel like a long watch for a movie that's not really that long. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Late Bloomers (2023) 82% “This sweet film about intergenerational friendship shows that, no matter how old you get, you can still mature and learn important life lessons. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% C+ “Despite its supposed feminist credentials, The Substance doesn’t exactly walk the walk.” – Mediaversity Reviews Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Regarding Us (2024) 90% “This is a sweet drama that offers glimmers of hope for anyone growing up amid too many people who have yet to learn how to truly accept others.” – Common Sense Media Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 3/5 “The film sensitively portrays Black characters demonstrating resilience amid racial turmoil, and main character Elwood stays true to his convictions about right and wrong. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 30, 2024 Full Review The Graduates (2023) 96% “This drama is a sensitive examination of how grief can turn lives inside out. ” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2024 Full Review A Sudden Case of Christmas (2024) “This is a surprisingly fun film in a sea of mid-tier Christmas movies. ” – Common Sense Media Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Music by John Williams (2024) 100% “Still, Music by John Williams definitely offers movie buffs and film score superfans something to like and learn from.” – Common Sense Media Nov 6, 2024 Full Review The Carpenter (2023) “This action drama will especially hit home for serious fans of faith-based films.” – Common Sense Media Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Exhibiting Forgiveness (2024) 95% “This is a heart-wrenching but beautifully acted drama. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Allswell in New York (2022) 88% “This well-acted family drama celebrates the inner worlds of three Latina women as they go through the ups and downs of life. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Unicorn Boy (2023) “This animated indie fantasy offers a fun, heartfelt look at how messy and glorious it can be to discover new aspects of yourself while reckoning with emotional pain.” – Common Sense Media Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Chosen Family (2024) “Even if you judge this romantic dramedy by Hallmark standards, it falls short. Chosen Family is boring, repetitive, and uninteresting.” – Common Sense Media Oct 16, 2024 Full Review #Untruth: The Psychology of Trumpism (2024) “#UNTRUTH: The Psychology of Trumpism also makes the case for how Trump could further alter the country's future if he's given the chance to lead it again. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Amber Alert (2024) 63% “This thriller's appeal rests almost exclusively on the charm and talent of Panettiere and Williams, who do their best to make what could easily be a shaky thriller work. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Eureka (2023) 83% “This compelling drama may seem opaque when you first start watching, but stick with it to understand its full purpose. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Winner (2024) 54% “Overall, Winner is a humanizing portrayal of an American political figure who's been unfairly ridiculed—both for her name and her courage to fight against the system.” – Common Sense Media Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Continue (2022) 94% “But Continue is one of those films that can also be considered a necessary watch when it comes to understanding the toll that mental health symptoms can have on a person and their entire family. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Forty Winks (2022) “This is a singular movie in the sense that it wants to be a unique, artistic, comedic dramedy about grief.” – Common Sense Media Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Rob Peace (2024) 75% “If anything, Rob Peace shows how the most compassionate and strongest among us often need the most support. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% “Thelma is one of the funniest, warmest action films you'll ever see. Squibb does a great job in her first ever leading role (!) as the title character, showing vulnerability, courage, and heart.” – Common Sense Media Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot (2024) 83% 4/5 “The film shows how, despite their mistakes, good parents will give their children unconditional love and support, as well as the emotional care they need to flourish.” – Common Sense Media Jul 8, 2024 Full Review
