Resistance

Even many adults should approach this film with care. And yet, it’s a story worth telling, too.
The Way Back

If you’re expecting a hard-edged, cheer-worthy comeback story here, well, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
1917

World War I is perhaps unequaled in its horrific brutality. 1917 takes us into that horror and doesn’t let us out of it for two hours.
