A film so impressed by its most memorable images that it didn’t consider how to tie them together.

This version retells their story with sincerity, humor, and songs that remain among the all-time bangers.

An elegant production with measured visual flourishes, “Familia” tells a familiar familial story.

Its action, much like its humorless dialogue and sudsy interpersonal relationships, is polished to a uniformly satisfying sheen.

A cut above the usual Founding Fathers inspirational biopic, with solid characterizations and a baseline fidelity to history.

Weird, exploitative, weird.

The action scenes are dynamic and exciting, the puzzles are clever, the romance is endearing, and Enola’s commitment to fairness ahead of her society is satisfying.

Maybe the most invigorating any of these films has ever felt.

Makes little sense and gives even less reason for its existence.

Might be the best example yet of a show built to be a second screen while the viewer does something more interesting.
