2026 ranks highest in Oscars history for its representation of minorities in all categories, and that’s definitely something to be celebrated.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

There is no aspect of this film that falls short, except perhaps in minor ways. 

Inuit girls use their Inuit tradition to hunt down alien monsters, enough said.

A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.

This Comedy-Drama set in Nazi Germany, shows a young boy, Jojo who wants to be Hitler's personal guard and even conjures up Hitler to be his imaginary friend. His nationalism and prejudices of Jews change when he discovers a Jewish girl hiding in his attic.
