My Sister's Bones (2026) 3/5 EDIT “This is a solid adaptation of Nuala Ellwood's popular thriller, which works well with the differences offered up by the movie format, rather than trying to piece together a book on-screen.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Stunning panoramas of the British countryside and reverent shots of the titular hawk make this poignant story feel as much a nature documentary as it is a heartfelt drama.” – Common Sense Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Languid at times with moments of intensity and even absurdity, it's a testament to director Kleber Mendonça Filho that the pace of this Brazilian crime thriller never falters.” – Common Sense Media Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer (2024) 84% 3/5 EDIT “A mix of ridiculous, chaotic, playful, and stoic, this quietly ambitious crime thriller will appeal to those with a penchant for the dark and absurd, but may leave others a little dazed and confused.” – Common Sense Media Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Blue Hawaii (1961) 30% 3/5 EDIT “Filmed in vibrant Technicolor and Panavision, the titular location in Blue Hawaii certainly provides a romantic backdrop, even as it overlooks much of the socio-economic issues of the time.” – Common Sense Media Jan 13, 2026 Full Review A Make or Break Holiday (2025) 3/5 EDIT “A struggling couple forced into a high-pressure environment—hosting a family Christmas—is a great setup for this warm holiday romcom.” – Common Sense Media Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Murder in Monaco (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Netflix has carved out quite a niche in popular crime documentaries, and this death among the Monaco elite has all the hallmarks of its hit formula—plus the added glamor of money and power.” – Common Sense Media Jan 5, 2026 Full Review She's Making a List (2025) 2/5 EDIT “While the premise is quite novel for a Hallmark holiday rom-com—focusing as much on Isabel's job as it does the romantic element—it's not quite enough to check the right box here.” – Common Sense Media Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Goodbye June (2025) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Though it's set around Christmas, this isn't feel-good festive fare, but it is a moving and hopeful film that will likely resonate strongly as families gather for the holidays.” – Common Sense Media Dec 16, 2025 Full Review All I Want for Christmas (1991) 13% 3/5 EDIT “This 1990s Christmas film may be a little contrived and not wildly original, but it's a reliably fun family movie with plenty of holiday spirit.” – Common Sense Media Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Better known for stand-up and panel shows, British-Irish comedian Jimmy Carr has co-written an impressive debut feature film that sends up the costume drama genre in a very British way.” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2025 Full Review An Alpine Holiday (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Beautiful settings and solid central performances help this slight but heartwarming Christmas romcom climb a little higher than the usual holiday fare.” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2025 Full Review 100 Nights of Hero (2025) 69% 3/5 EDIT “100 Nights of Hero is a whimsical fantasy with a queer/feminist spin that interweaves a story within the story and even an A-List pop star—Charli XCX.” – Common Sense Media Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Tinsel Town (2025) 47% 4/5 EDIT “It's stuffed to the brim with genre clichés, but a funny script, committed performances, and warm playful tone make this festive comedy hard to resist.” – Common Sense Media Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Wildcat (2025) 57% 2/5 EDIT “For those who appreciate a strong female lead without too much digging into how she's presented, and enjoy a good violent kill, this will likely offer a fairly mindless 99 minutes that ticks the boxes.” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2025 Full Review The Thing with Feathers (2025) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Cumberbatch's acting is by far the best aspect of The Thing with Feathers, yet somehow the movie doesn't pack the emotional gut punch that it should.” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Charade (1963) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Director Stanley Donan (Singin' in the Rain) merges a Hitchcockian-style thriller with a screwball romantic comedy in this playful, fast-paced mystery.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Three Days (2001) 3/5 EDIT “A little darker in tone than most holiday fares, this is not the feel-good fix you might expect from a Christmas movie.” – Common Sense Media Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Animals (2019) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Adapted from Emma Jane Unsworth's novel of the same name, this dark comedy is a touching, funny and unflinching portrayal of female friendship.” – Common Sense Media Nov 12, 2025 Full Review The Grass Is Greener (1960) 90% 4/5 EDIT “ At its core, The Grass Is Greener may be a fairly slight film about a wife whose head is easily turned by a rich suitor, but the flighty, devil-may-care approach to the material very much works in its favor here.” – Common Sense Media Nov 11, 2025 Full Review A Month by the Lake (1995) 67% 2/5 EDIT “The settings are undeniably stunning—you can't go wrong with Lake Como—but the A-List cast promises more than the screenplay and directing can deliver here.” – Common Sense Media Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Watch the Skies (2022) 76% 3/5 EDIT “While there's nothing particularly groundbreaking here, this is a charming, very watchable sci-fi adventure that borrows from popular hits like Stranger Things and The X-Files to entertaining effect.” – Common Sense Media Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Grand Prix of Europe (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Fast-paced and packed with likable, energetic characters, this family animation is a fun ride, even if it's not a particularly original one.” – Common Sense Media Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Hallow Road (2025) 89% 4/5 EDIT “There are surprises throughout and an unexpected twist toward the end, which will keep viewers on their toes, but the final few minutes may lose the faith of more pragmatic viewers.” – Common Sense Media Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Stitch Head (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Stitch Head follows a familiar formula and the story is fairly predictable, but it has a vibrance and some great messages that raise it above the generic.” – Common Sense Media Oct 29, 2025 Full
