Finnick (2022) 2/5 EDIT “The film has a certain gentle charm, even if it never really surprises.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Child's Play 2 (1990) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The sequel leans fully into its worst instincts and somehow that's exactly what makes it work. Child's Play 2 is funnier, meaner, and far more comfortable with how much it enjoys being evil.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Girl Who Got Away (2021) 2/5 EDIT “The Girl Who Got Away gives away the hook in the title and then seems strangely unsure of what to do with that premise beyond running through unsurprising beats.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Tank (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The film is morally complex in a way that makes it genuinely challenging to watch, largely because it commits fully to telling a WWII story from the German point of view.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Tell Me Softly (2025) 2/5 EDIT “Tell Me Softly is relentlessly melodramatic and soapy, but without the self-awareness or humor that could have made it camp.” – Common Sense Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Meme Gods (2025) 3/5 EDIT “This documentary about memers and influencers is playful, fast, and full of entertaining personalities, packed with jokes and flashy moments that make it easy to watch.” – Common Sense Media Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “This documentary has the kind of quiet power that makes you wonder how something this intimate was even possible to capture on camera.” – Common Sense Media Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Predators (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The documentary stands out for how it layers meaning beyond the surface story.” – Common Sense Media Jan 5, 2026 Full Review A Time for Bravery (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Where the film truly stands out is in its treatment of male friendship and emotional vulnerability. It presents men talking to other men about fear, shame, and mental health without pandering or moralizing, using humor and warmth instead of lectures.” – Common Sense Media Jan 5, 2026 Full Review The Fakenapping (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The story opens with a premise that could've made a sharp comedy but instead it quickly unravels. The Fakenapping has a chaotic and uneven tone, and the central joke stretches too far, losing its novelty almost immediately.” – Common Sense Media Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Lost in the Spotlight (2025) 3/5 EDIT “The film drags at times, particularly when it piles on subplots to heighten Vino's punishment, hitting the audience over the head with its moral lessons in a way reminiscent of A Christmas Carol.” – Common Sense Media Dec 16, 2025 Full Review I Wish You Had Told Me (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The handling of homophobia is heavy-handed, and the pacing may be too slow for teens, while adults have likely seen more nuanced films with similar themes.” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Lali: Time to Step Up (2025) 4/5 EDIT “This documentary is an energetic yet intimate work that traces Lali's journey as a singer, actress, and performer.” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2025 Full Review The Son of a Thousand Men (2025) 3/5 EDIT “There's something quietly touching about this ensemble, especially in how the actors give depth and soul to material that can feel more like a collection of whimsical ideas than a fully shaped story.” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Baramulla (2025) 54% 2/5 EDIT “What begins as a stylish thriller turns into a tangled hybrid of social drama, crime story, and horror, until it collapses under the weight of its own ambitions.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Follies (2025) 4/5 EDIT “There's something magnetic about the way the stories in this film unfold here as they're connected but not in the ways we expect. The Follies (Las Locuras) moves with quiet confidence.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Eloá the Hostage: Live on TV (2025) 4/5 EDIT “This important documentary is disturbing but worth watching.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Rumble in the Bronx (1995) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Watching Jackie Chan in full command of his craft is pure joy. In Rumble in the Bronx, every fight feels like a perfectly choreographed dance; it's like watching a musical without the music, built entirely around his rhythm, grace, and sense of play.” – Common Sense Media Nov 11, 2025 Full Review 27 Nights (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Life and memory collide in this Argentinean film that starts with playful comedy and slowly opens into a deeper meditation on aging, autonomy, and the meaning of family.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review She Walks in Darkness (2025) 62% 2/5 EDIT “It feels like a Wikipedia entry with suspense added after the fact.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Turn of the Tide: The Surreal Story of Rabo de Peixe (2025) 4/5 EDIT “The film gives space to voices that are rarely heard and treats them with dignity and sincerity.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Snake Eyes (1998) 42% 2/5 EDIT “"Snake Eyes" is so obsessed with unraveling its mystery and the purpose of its characters that it forgets to be entertaining.” – Common Sense Media Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Everybody Loves Me When I'm Dead (2025) 3/5 EDIT “This Thai thriller starts out as a by-the-numbers crime tale and slowly turns into something darker and completely unexpected.” – Common Sense Media Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Rockstar: DUKI from the End of the World (2025) 4/5 EDIT “For fans, it's a love letter to an artist who helped define a genre. For newcomers, it's a crash course in why his voice matters.” – Common Sense Media Oct 26, 2025 Full Review Christopher -- A Beautiful Real Life (2025) 2/5 EDIT “It plays like a 90-minute promo reel designed to hype fans about his tour.” – Common Sense Media Sep 29, 2025 Full Review
