Saturday Night (2024) 77% EDIT “But overall, Saturday Night is quite enjoyable—an excellent example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.” – Common Sense Media Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Sayen (2023) 3/5 EDIT “In Sayen, Witt combines the eco-thriller with a story that pays tribute to the Mapuche people who have lived in oppressive conditions for centuries. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 18, 2023 Full Review The Conference (2023) 74% 2/5 EDIT “We get it. Capitalism and corporate greed are terrifying. No question about that, so why not focus on the satirical aspects exclusively?” – Common Sense Media Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Slotherhouse (2023) 64% 2/5 EDIT “Yet at a little over 90 minutes long, the film somehow outstays its welcome as the hilarious premise devolves into a series of scenes where we see young women being clawed to their death by the furry menace.” – Common Sense Media Oct 18, 2023 Full Review The Mill (2023) 46% 2/5 EDIT “But the film's message becomes diluted and harrowing to absorb by the fact we're watching a Black man being tortured for being too good at what he does. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Do Not Disturb (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Still, the film's shift from a dark comedy into a hopeless drama might be too much for viewers still reeling from the effects of a pandemic that's still ongoing. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Friday Night Plan (2023) 54% 2/5 EDIT “At almost two hours long, the film could have done with some trimming, especially scenes involving overlong pranks that aren't as funny or interesting as they think. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Once Upon a Crime (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Director Yûichi Fukuda does a wonderful job of not merely revising the fairy tales, but leading us to rethink the perspectives from which these characters can be seen. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Rosa Peral’s Tapes (2023) 4/5 EDIT “Pithy and straightforward, yet never sensationalist, this 80-minute wonder is designed for true crime fans who will most likely spend hours obsessed about what really happened in the case.” – Common Sense Media Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Radhe Shyam (2022) 20% 2/5 EDIT “Unfortunately the mawkish melodrama and the clichéd star-crossed lovers theme is boring, with neither the characters nor the story having much depth. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) 69% 4/5 EDIT “It's quite the gender role reversal from what usually plays out in most Indian households every day. To watch this man be soft and vulnerable -- far removed from the ideas of toxic masculinity -- is a thing of beauty. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Outlast (2023) 3/5 EDIT “The show's stunning but dangerous setting offers a different kind of drama. Even players with exceptional survival skills crumble under the harsh conditions, and predicting who will or won't make it keeps the suspense high.” – Common Sense Media Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Going All the Way (1997) 65% 2/5 EDIT “The basic premise that the vibrant life-loving Gunner would enjoy the company of Sonny is a non-starter and since the entire story hangs on that bond, little that follows really works. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The sailor scouts struggles with insecurities and the truth of their deepest desires make them well-rounded and relatable. Even the villains get some complexity with "twist reveal" backstories. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 15, 2023 Full Review The Promised Neverland (2020) 4/5 EDIT “It's hard to watch children face such intense peril, but it's easy to root for the young characters who face challenges with wit and strength.” – Common Sense Media Jan 11, 2023 Full Review The Stepford Wives (2004) 25% 4/5 EDIT “The subject of feminism is a juicy subject to pick apart here, and in retrospect, the audience is left with some questions. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Staying Alive (1983) 3% 1/5 EDIT “Directed by Sylvester Stallone (who even has a cringeworthy cameo), you can spot the crumbs of a Rocky movie that just don't belong.” – Common Sense Media Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The General's Daughter (1999) 22% 2/5 EDIT “The General's Daughter's attempt to present an expose of sexism in the military is clumsy at best and as subtle as a chainsaw. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 21, 2022 Full Review The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie (2022) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The story handles sensitive topics with care, and the characters' life choices for the future are all portrayed positively – even when that means not going to college or taking nontraditional career paths. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Internal Affairs (1990) 79% 3/5 EDIT “You would hope today's lens would be more scrupulous on portrayals of women and people of color, and more original in its stylistic choices, which now look like a roll call of cliches.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Victory (1981) 70% 3/5 EDIT “But in terms of pure nostalgia and its sense of fun, Victory has aged surprisingly well as a boys' own adventure played out by the alpha males of its day.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Frankie and Johnny (1991) 69% 3/5 EDIT “A little less hamfisting would have made this a cosier watch, but hey, subtlety was never on the menu.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review A Civil Action (1998) 65% 3/5 EDIT “Brilliantly understated performances, flashes of wit and a heartbreaking true story aren't quite enough to make this movie memorable.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Harlem Nights (1989) 27% 3/5 EDIT “Instead here lies the rare relish of seeing bonafide comedy legends Murphy, in his first directing jaunt -- he also wrote it -- and Prior play father and son.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Alfie (1966) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The excellence in this movie lies in Caine's exquisite performance.” – Common Sense Media Dec 14, 2022 Full Review
