The Boy and the Heron
The least accessible of the Studio Ghibli animations, The Boy and the Heron is a beautiful-but-chaotic fantasy fever dream.
Labyrinth
This 1986 cult classic fantasy story starring David Bowie is beloved by some but may still be a nonstarter for others.
The Shift
This sci-fi-esque thriller creatively mashes up a Job-like story with multiversal mayhem … and some spiritual lessons along the way.
Turning Red
Turning Red didn’t have me turning red. But it didn’t leave me tickled pink, either.
What Rhymes With Reason
What Rhymes With Reason tackles the ticklish issue of mental illness in an unusual context: an adventure dramedy.
The Tiger’s Apprentice
References to Chinese mythology and mystical animal battles abound in this poorly written animated movie.
My Fair Lady
This fun, toe-tapping musical won 12 Oscars back in 1965. But My Fair Lady hides some foul problems, too.
Orion and the Dark
While not awful, some spiritual themes keep Orion and the Dark from shining.
Wonka
Wonka isn’t perfect. But it’s still a relatively sweet treat.
The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz has more than just music, dancing and witches in its mix. It’s packed with family-focused movie magic, too.
