Irréversible (2002) 60% 4/5 EDIT “It's impossible to have a good time watching this dizzying French thriller. But it's also impossible to deny the power of writer-director Gaspar Noé's Irreversible.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review A Better Tomorrow (1986) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Released in 1986, this first iconic collaboration between writer-director John Woo and actor Chow is a gripping action drama that set the template for an entire genre.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review Hard-Boiled (1992) 92% 5/5 EDIT “This Hong Kong cop classic has sat near the top of every "best action movie" list since its release in 1992 and for good reason: it's a total thrill.” – Common Sense Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review War 2 (2025) 30% 4/5 EDIT “The plot is far-fetched fun that drives the characters through the twists and turns of their murky allegiances. But that's all background to the spectacular action scenes and fights.” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Time Travel Is Dangerous (2024) 76% 2/5 EDIT “Anyone tired of cliches should steer clear of this time machine that captures the last few decades of relentlessly selfish characters. It lacks the heart, witty writing, and emotional connection the genre needs to make it work.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review Love+War (2025) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Tough to watch and endlessly compelling, Love+War is a fascinating look at a spectacular life and a challenge for the viewer to confront upsetting truths.” – Common Sense Media Oct 29, 2025 Full Review The Castle (1997) 87% 5/5 EDIT “"The Castle" is a thoroughly entertaining lesson in gratitude and kindness that beautifully celebrates the idea of "home."” – Common Sense Media Oct 26, 2025 Full Review The Cut (2024) 69% 3/5 EDIT “A cautionary tale of unprocessed trauma, the film lands a hard-hitting message about perspective: What success really means, and whether the price is worth it.” – Common Sense Media Sep 14, 2025 Full Review Human Traffic (1999) 59% EDIT “Now regarded as a cult classic, this British comedy offers a smart and satirical look at the country's late-1990s subcultures and society. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Amongst the Wolves (2024) 87% EDIT “With trauma, a custody battle, gangsters, and homelessness to contend with, lead character Danny faces more than his share of problems in this Irish crime thriller. ” – Common Sense Media Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Blue Ruin (2013) 96% EDIT “This crowdfunded indie film is a tense, exciting thriller that deals with extreme situations in a gripping and cinematic way. ” – Common Sense Media Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Salvable (2025) 57% EDIT “This slow-burn British drama focuses more on its central boxer's choices than on the fights themselves. ” – Common Sense Media Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) 66% EDIT “Unfortunately, Tornado is a joyless drama due to flat, serious, and lifeless performances.” – Common Sense Media Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Shifty (2008) 96% EDIT “Shifty takes a non-judgmental approach to people experiencing addiction and the dealers enjoying a lifestyle that their criminal activities bring them.” – Common Sense Media Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Wombling Free (1977) EDIT “Wombling Free delivers a still-relevant message about picking up litter, recycling, and using clean fuel. ” – Common Sense Media Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Hector (2015) 94% EDIT “Family members resolving difficult emotions can be a slow path to forgiveness. In Hector, this path is hopeful but realistically complicated.” – Common Sense Media May 20, 2025 Full Review Rogue Trader (1999) 33% EDIT “However, through the whirlwind trading floor sequences, viewers can get an understanding of how quickly fortunes can be made or broken and the real-world stakes at play.” – Common Sense Media May 14, 2025 Full Review Fateless (2005) 95% EDIT “The horror of the Holocaust is depicted not through explicit violence, but through stellar performances and an artful approach from director Lajos Koltai in this semi-autobiographical Hungarian drama. ” – Common Sense Media May 7, 2025 Full Review Black Dog (2023) 100% EDIT “But its hopeful message shines through: that problems can be helped by opening up.” – Common Sense Media Apr 8, 2025 Full Review The Juggler (1953) EDIT “In many ways, it is a film that was far ahead of its time.” – Common Sense Media Apr 8, 2025 Full Review The Grey Zone (2001) 70% EDIT “But the film's good intentions suffer under the Hollywood production and its cast of famous faces, which includes David Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, and Natasha Lyonne.” – Common Sense Media Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Nil by Mouth (1997) 79% EDIT “The threat of violence permeates every moment of Gary Oldman's directorial debut. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Bring Them Down (2024) 89% EDIT “With a steady start, this seemingly simple story of two missing sheep first feels woolly and vague.” – Common Sense Media Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End (2024) EDIT “ Exciting, fun, and moving, this is a top-tier zombie flick, whether the word is used or not.” – Common Sense Media Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Black Cab (2024) 47% EDIT “By mixing the supernatural, mystery, menace, and a small but effective bit of gore, there is a lot for horror fans to enjoy. ” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2024 Full Review
