Last Days (2025) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Never making much of a point (except for the point of no return), this drama is a film as lost as its characters.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review A Nice Indian Boy (2024) 95% 4/5 EDIT “A familiar romcom formula gets a bit of flair in this vibrant, heartfelt movie, which shines an emotionally intelligent spotlight on the complexities of love.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review 100 Meters (2025) 100% 4/5 EDIT “In its heartfelt sprint toward self-discovery, this gritty, inspiring sports story is both gripping and visually dynamic. ” – Common Sense Media Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Grow (2025) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Earnestly whimsical with a touch of absurdity, this is a sweet, heartwarming family comedy that holds its own "pumpkin" weight against the classics.” – Common Sense Media Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Soul on Fire (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “"Soul on Fire"'s strong faith-based messaging and "rise from the ashes" journey feels partially eclipsed by all of the Budweiser on display, which sends viewers a mixed message.” – Common Sense Media Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Stolen Girl (2025) 2/5 EDIT “A strong mom's heroic story is dulled by weak execution in this fact-based thriller.” – Common Sense Media Oct 5, 2025 Full Review Dot Conner: Webtective (2025) 3/5 EDIT “An old-school Disney Channel-esque vibe, fresh humor, and unexpected cameos keep this kid-friendly mystery light and entertaining without being too heavy-handed.” – Common Sense Media Oct 2, 2025 Full Review In Whose Name? (2025) 3/5 EDIT “This documentary is an intense exploration of fame and fragility that not only examines Ye's character through a truthful lens but forces viewers to confront contradictions that we all live with. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Triumph of the Heart (2025) 3/5 EDIT “It's a bit too long, but this drama is still a touching tribute to the life, sacrifice, and martyrdom of Maximilian Kolbe.” – Common Sense Media Sep 14, 2025 Full Review The Glassworker (2024) 88% 4/5 EDIT “With its intricate visuals and emotional depth, this is director Usman Riaz' tender, poetic love letter to Pakistani culture.” – Common Sense Media Sep 14, 2025 Full Review The Short Game (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Expect your heartstrings to be pulled by this feel-good golf drama.” – Common Sense Media Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Almost Popular (2024) 3/5 EDIT “Mean Girls meets Napoleon Dynamite in this indie teen high school comedy that's simultaneously cliched, quirky, edgy, and satirical.” – Common Sense Media Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Light of the World (2025) 85% 3/5 EDIT “With a touch of curiosity and wonder, this animated story offers a fresh take on Jesus' life through the eyes of a child.” – Common Sense Media Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Boys Go to Jupiter (2024) 93% EDIT “A surreal escape from the mundane, this refreshing yet absurd film harnesses the power of lo-fi CGI to fight capitalism, hustle culture, the teenage experience, and even Florida. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 12, 2025 Full Review BTS Army: Forever We Are Young (2025) EDIT “You don't have to be a BTS fan to appreciate this moving documentary. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Little Angels (2025) EDIT “This feel-good soccer story (slide)tackles some big issues while inspiring cheers for the ragtag gang of underdog tween girls at its heart.” – Common Sense Media Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Dragon Heart: Adventures Beyond This World (2025) EDIT “Director Isamu Imakake's storytelling and visuals aren't quite as magical as those of Hayao Miyazaki or Makoto Shinkai, but there's enough edge and entertainment to make the film work.” – Common Sense Media Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Cheech & Chong's Last Movie (2024) 87% EDIT “Offering rare but honest insight into the trailblazers (blaze, heh heh) of the "stoner comedy" genre, this documentary captures a genuine high for life. ” – Common Sense Media May 20, 2025 Full Review The Lightning Code (2025) EDIT “This lighthearted and family-friendly—but ultimately forgettable—sci-fi adventure isn't exactly electrifying, with its thin plot, predictable characters, and low-budget CGI.” – Common Sense Media May 14, 2025 Full Review Sharp Corner (2024) 92% EDIT “Subtle and unsettling, this is a cautionary tale of how good intentions can quickly take a wrong turn into a deadly head-on collision with obsession. ” – Common Sense Media May 14, 2025 Full Review Neighborhood Watch (2025) 70% EDIT “Disorganized and chaotic, this movie is still ultimately lucid enough to offer a worthy, nuanced twist on the typical psychological thriller. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story (2025) EDIT “As unconventional as it is uplifting, Alma Richards' story proves once again why audiences love watching a good underdog story.” – Common Sense Media Apr 30, 2025 Full Review The Last Supper (2025) EDIT “Despite having the inspired casting of Robert Knepper as Judas—aka the "bad guy that audiences love"—this reimagined Jesus story is ultimately unoriginal and forgettable. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 55% EDIT “It feels almost criminal that this over-the-top dysfunctional comedy is so genuinely entertaining.” – Common Sense Media Mar 4, 2025 Full Review No Address (2025) EDIT “Taking residence in viewers' hearts, this compelling drama with themes of hope, resilience, and humanity hits home deeply.” – Common Sense Media Mar 4, 2025 Full Review
