Proud Princess (2024) 3/5 EDIT “A retelling of the popular Czech fairytale by Božena Němcová, this attractive animation has all the usual tropes that will keep kids entertained—and teach a few lessons to boot.” – Common Sense Media Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Dirty Pretty Things (2002) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Critically acclaimed—including receiving an Oscar nod for its screenplay—this well-crafted British crime thriller is a disturbing but hopeful movie that won't fail to make an impact.” – Common Sense Media Feb 24, 2026 Full Review 10x10 (2018) 70% 3/5 EDIT “There's no wildly unexpected twist in this psychological thriller, but the movie does well at feeding the audience gradual pieces of the puzzle and leaving them eager to see how it comes together.” – Common Sense Media Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Dreadful (2026) 41% 2/5 EDIT “Even for a folk horror, this movie is heavily laden with doom and gloom and does little to relieve viewers from the bleakness until the very end.” – Common Sense Media Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Palestine '36 (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “The official Palestinian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2026 Oscars, this historical drama is impactful and told through the eyes of an eclectic group of characters.” – Common Sense Media Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Roustabout (1964) 56% 2/5 EDIT “Setting the story within an entertainment environment gives Elvis plenty of opportunity to showcase his musical talents, but this mid-career movie lacks the energy of some of his other work.” – Common Sense Media Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Romance novel visuals—think flower petals, pillow fights, a couple feeding each other (not blood)—and moments of dark humor, bring something new to this retelling of the classic tale.” – Common Sense Media Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Jimpa (2025) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Director Sophie Hyde's most personal work to date, this semi-autobiographical story of identity and conflict within an intergenerational family is a warm, but sometimes overly talky film.” – Common Sense Media Feb 3, 2026 Full Review 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) 75% 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) 68% 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
