An Overview of the 2021 Oscar-nominated Adventure Films (and a look back to 2020)
Da 5 Bloods
(4 Stars) A War-time Adventure that challenges White America at the same time that it doesn’t go far enough!
Mulan
(2.5 Stars) A disappointing remake when it could and should have been much better.
News of the World
(3.5 Stars) Many good things here, but, in the end, not real memorable.
Over the Moon
(3 Stars) The film doesn’t hang together real well, but there are some great songs and terrific visuals.
Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon
(2.5 Stars) Family Entertainment and a refreshing unique style of animation.
Soul
(4.5 Stars) Interesting and Creative approach to some very abstract questions. Excellent film.
The Midnight Sky
(4 Stars) Much better than the critics say. Beautiful imagery and sounds and a story with a twist.
The One and Only Ivan
(1.5 Stars) Might work for families with small children.
Wolfwalkers
(4.5 Stars) Beautiful animation, Celtic music, and an Irish folk story with modern day lessons.
