It’s a great, though admittedly demanding, movie that draws us into a character’s mindset simply by showing us what their life is like.

There are Easter eggs for franchise-lovers aplenty, but this anthology stands mightily on its own.

It’s a series of silly events that get progressively ridiculous and bloodier.

Rather than taking a strong stance in one direction or another, “We Are Guardians” aims to sympathize with everyone involved.

The film never loses sight of the humanity beneath its quirky, furry exterior.

The scenes of the reunions are deeply moving.

While those monologues reek of good ol’, blind-faith, science-denying propaganda, they at least sound stirring because Pacino’s saying it.

There’s a new Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, and it doesn’t feature enough Jean-Claude Van Damme.

The film wants to explore themes of violence, generational trauma, grief, and the possibility of redemption. Instead, it just presents them. 

A lot of movies barely have a point of view at all. This one is a prism in comparison.
