A brilliantly acted, if too insistently heartwarming drama about broken people healing themselves.

A flat rendering of its jagged proposal.

Moore and Birney’s performances rely on a brave commitment to explore every uncomfortable facet of their characters.

The more “Affection” explains itself, the less sympathetic it becomes.

Don’t get it twisted: This is Eilish’s show, and she knocks it out of the park.

It is accessible enough for younger viewers without condescending to them, yet complex enough to engage an adult audience.

Makes good on its grisly promise whenever its meat-puppet protagonists stop talking and start pummeling each other. 

A perfect example of how modern adaptations should be done.

This “Lord of the Flies” reminds us that perhaps there isn’t that much difference between beasts and little boys after all.

A movie that seems to have been made to entertain children without disturbing them, which surely wasn’t George Orwell’s point.
