Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 2/5 EDIT “This is an understated, subtly comedic drama about family dynamics that sadly becomes tedious. The word "boring" seems harsh, but at times Father Mother Sister Brother is exactly that.” – Common Sense Media Jan 5, 2026 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% 3/5 EDIT “This British historical drama works well for a pleasant Sunday afternoon viewing, but it's hard to shake the feeling it could have been something more substantial.” – Common Sense Media Jan 5, 2026 Full Review Christmas Karma (2025) 24% 2/5 EDIT “This modern-day musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol falls into the "there are better adaptations available" category.” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Directed and co-written by Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), this masterful period drama is one of 2025's most deeply affecting films.” – Common Sense Media Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Reawakening (2024) 91% 3/5 EDIT “This mysterious British drama takes viewers to surprising places as a couple's daughter disappears, then reappears years later—raising unsettling questions about identity, truth, and trauma.” – Common Sense Media Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 4/5 EDIT “The film balances sharp socio-political satire about the current state of the world with thrilling, action-heavy entertainment—ironically delivering exactly what villain Killian craves: pure spectacle.” – Common Sense Media Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Sentimental Value is a nuanced film that operates on multiple levels, feeling both vast and intimate. It's a film that asks many questions without claiming to have all the answers.” – Common Sense Media Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 48% 4/5 EDIT “This is a stylistic psychological thriller that delivers on multiple fronts.” – Common Sense Media Oct 27, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “This powerful British drama is one of the most accomplished, brilliant debut films in recent memory.” – Common Sense Media Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Death of a Ladies' Man (2020) 88% 3/5 EDIT “This offbeat drama relies heavily on Byrne's central performance. ” – Common Sense Media Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% EDIT “This compelling, dark thriller uses violent action sequences to explore themes of gentrification and its impact on working-class families. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Harvest (2024) 74% EDIT “This British drama is a feverish, historical parable for the modern world, with some very interesting ideas that are sadly presented in just too messy a fashion. ” – Common Sense Media Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Young Lions (1958) 75% EDIT “These skillfully interwoven storylines result in a film of surprising depth that remains relevant today. ” – Common Sense Media May 14, 2025 Full Review Havoc (2025) 64% EDIT “Despite the countless killings, fights, and bloodshed, none of the violence feels gratuitous—it's all deeply embedded in the story. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 30, 2025 Full Review William Tell (2024) 54% EDIT “But with so many characters and such a myriad of stories, the film might have been better served as a TV series.” – Common Sense Media Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Crossfire (1947) 88% EDIT “This 1940s noir classic delivers on all the genre expectations, featuring exceptional acting and an impressively tight script. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 2, 2025 Full Review The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) 96% EDIT “This heartwarming film perfectly showcases British cinema's ability to blend comedy and pathos with tender precision. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 26, 2025 Full Review The Long Way Home (1998) EDIT “This important and Oscar-winning documentary highlights a critical but often overlooked historical period. ” – Common Sense Media Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Everything Is Illuminated (2005) 65% EDIT “While Schreiber shows promise behind the camera, the competing tones never quite harmonize into a satisfying whole.” – Common Sense Media Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Bolan's Shoes (2023) 56% EDIT “This British drama is a tough watch.” – Common Sense Media Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Eyes Wide Open (2009) 86% EDIT “Set within Jerusalem's Orthodox Jewish community, this Israeli drama offers an intimate portrayal of a forbidden gay romance. ” – Common Sense Media Feb 20, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% EDIT “Brazilian actor Torres delivers a tour-de-force performance worthy of the extraordinary Eunice Paiva, the central figure in this impressive drama based on real events.” – Common Sense Media Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The use of a monkey as a stand-in for Williams is an unsubtle but effective metaphor: A man who feels different to everyone else is treated as a performing monkey by the industry. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Aardman Animations' lovable duo return for their second feature film, and fans of the stop-motion series won't be disappointed.” – Common Sense Media Dec 30, 2024 Full Review That Christmas (2024) 67% EDIT “This sweet animation is a charming festive treat from the mind of Richard Curtis, the man behind Love Actually. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 9, 2024 Full Review
