The Legend of Ochi
Despite some issues, ‘The Legend of Ochi’ is a throwback adventure that tells a moody-but-hopeful story about the mending of broken families.
The Wedding Banquet
Sexual and vocal crudities mar The Wedding Banquet, a gay rom-com with a contemporary idea of love that leaves more to be desired.
The Ballad of Wallis Island
The Ballad of Wallis Island hits a few discordant notes. But stick around for the whole song, and you’ll find some lovely themes.
Warfare
‘Warfare’ is as good as its name, as realistic and searing a depiction of modern urban battle as you’ll likely see. But it’s not for kids—not by a longshot.
Another Simple Favor
A barrage of crass and suggestive content scuttles the intriguing mystery at the core of ‘Another Simple Favor.’
The Rose of Versailles
Every rose has its thorn, and ‘The Rose of Versailles,’ a story centered around the French Revolution, is no exception.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ is 50. But its goofy gags and supercilious snark are just as irreverently funny (and messy) as ever.
The Mission
It’s not for everyone. But if you can navigate its violence and documentary-style tribal nudity, The Mission is a fallen Eden well worth visiting.
Havoc
All in all, Netflix’s aptly titled Havoc is complete havoc for any families that might’ve considered watching.
The Friend
Perhaps adults watching could discuss The Friend’s themes. But I’d also argue that you don’t necessarily need to watch this tearjerker to have a meaningful conversation about the significant themes this story addresses.
