Charlie’s Angels (2019)
This reboot’s empowering messages are ultimately undermined by its content concerns.
Uncut Gems
This critically acclaimed Adam Sandler tragicomedy likely features the most vulgarity per minute of any film Plugged In has ever reviewed.
Bombshell
Bombshell’s core message is one of empowerment. But the story it tells is a messy one.
All the Bright Places
This YA adaptation features tons of teen drama as well as a storyline that perhaps glorifies suicide.
The Banker
The Banker offers respect for capitalism, a social conscience and a sense of fun—not a combination you find often.
Extra Ordinary
This horror/comedy/fantasy mash-up tries to make light of Satan worship and spiritual hauntings.
Dark Waters
While this film is factual, well-made and eye-opening, it isn’t necessarily … enjoyable.
Queen & Slim
This film proffers a disturbing message: that murder can be inspirational if it’s a certain kind of “justified” murder.
Burden
This movie delves deeply into the true wages of sin—what it costs the sinner, and what it costs those impacted by his sin.
Knives Out
Knives Out layers on a bit more content than your typical Agatha Christie story.
