Nell Minow Common Sense Media Gorgeous, but also very violent. Rated: 4/5 •  Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Wonderfully conveys how the act of loving another can be a game, a sacrifice, a ruse, a weapon, a betrayal, and, most of all, a political act. Rated: A •  May 4, 2005 Full Review

Leprechaun K Set and Costume design was superb. Great cinematography. Storyline wasn't great but compensated by the art direction. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Fer S Some exquisite cinematic shots and costumes paired with well achieved special effects and choreography. It has the greatest balance between action and romance. It gets kind of slow at some points. Some things are predictable, some things are not. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review
