You keep waiting for these kids to be exploited, of course, and what's made it onscreen confirms the impression you'll probably already have - that they signed a major deal not expecting to be subject to executives' whims with little agency of their own. Jun 21, 2016 | Full Review…

Breaking a Monster is simultaneously uplifting and depressing, and if it lacks a third act, it's only because Unlocking the Truth's story is still playing in the real world. Jul 20, 2016 | Full Review…
