The Father

An elderly man sits in a chair and talks to his middle-aged daughter.

The Father, of course, is a very sad movie, one that mercilessly marches through the realities of fading by inches.

Limbo

We see four men of Middle Eastern descent standing in front of a house.

Limbo is both silly and serious, delightful and, at times, despairing. That’s not an easy mix to get right.

Triumph

We see an image of two young men wrestling.

Triumph is a story set in the ‘80s about a young man with cerebral palsy who overcame every obstacle thrown his way.

Things Heard & Seen

A woman (played by actress Amanda Seyfried) looks pensively out a window in the movie 'Thinks Heard & Seen.'

The twisted theology alone here gives families plenty of reasons to avoid being swept up in this story.

Voyagers

An adult and child astronauts board a spacecraft.

Though Voyagers is free of really explicit content, it’s still chockful of PG-13 levels of violence and suggestive scenes.

Land

A woman (played by actress Robin Wright) sits in front of a log cabin with a thoughtful expression on her face.

A thoughtful cinematic journey of recovery for some, but a potentially dark road for others.

The Marksman

Liam Neeson shoulders a rifle and aims in The Marksman.

The Marksman makes for a rather depressing and cheerless trip to the movies.

Together Together

An older man and a pregnant young woman stand in a nursery with baby stuff around them.

Together Together offers an interesting, at times crude, springboard into a conversation about surrogacy.

Stowaway

Four astronauts talk on their ship in the movie "Stowaway."

If the screenwriters had throttled back, if they’d kept what you hear as clean as what you see, this Netflix film could’ve been PG.
