A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough (2026) 4/5 EDIT “There are plenty of nature documentaries to choose from, but what Attenborough uniquely brings to the table is a sense of personal connection, reverence, and respect toward the subjects he studies.” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Hamlet (2025) 71% 3/5 EDIT “Ahmed is really the selling point of this London-set adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play, stepping into the iconic role with a fitting intensity and sense of danger just barely under control.” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Based on the real-life experiences of Scottish Tourette's campaigner Davidson, this award-winning film is at once heart wrenching and hopeful.” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Holy Days (2026) 63% 3/5 EDIT “There's nothing that particularly sets Holy Days apart from similar films, but it's a warm, enjoyable romp with likable characters and an impish spirit.” – Common Sense Media Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Bone Keeper (2026) 2/5 EDIT “At times this horror film feels like a pastiche of the genre, but isn't particularly funny or openly self-referential.” – Common Sense Media Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Pretty Lethal (2026) 57% 4/5 EDIT “Pretty Lethal finds the right combination of bloody violence and sheer silliness that will appeal to fans of the genre and those looking for 90 minutes of joyful chaos.” – Common Sense Media Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Bluey's Big Play: The Stage Show (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Bluey's Big Play does a great job of offering something different and magical but not stepping too far away from everything kids know and love about the animated TV show.” – Common Sense Media Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Mr. Burton (2025) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Focusing on the early years of Richard Burton's life, when he started to believe he could overcome his circumstances and reach for his dreams, this is a kind of origins story of the Hollywood legend.” – Common Sense Media Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Harry Styles. One Night in Manchester. (2026) 4/5 EDIT “In Harry Styles: One Night in Manchester, Styles legitimately feels like he's sharing a moment with his fans, and acknowledging their part in his global success.” – Common Sense Media Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Everyone loves an underdog story, and it's easy to root for this film's central character, an unassuming man with a heart of gold.” – Common Sense Media Mar 10, 2026 Full Review 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) 36% 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) 98% 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) 54% 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) 53% 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) 81% 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
