Sketch

66Worth an evening.

Grief with a body. A family film, and the creatures will scare a small child. Stay in the room.

Pass it on

The review

Taylor Wyatt is trying to sell the house. His wife is dead. His daughter Amber draws monsters because that is where the anger can go, and a school therapist tells her to keep drawing. The sketchbook falls into a pond and the drawings get up. She and her brother have to find them before the town is wrecked. Tony Hale plays the father. D'Arcy Carden plays the aunt. Seth Worley wrote and directed. Angel's own line is the plot: chaotic, real, and not what they meant to unleash. The father has to come get his children through a mess their grief made.

A family can watch it. The creatures are a child's angry drawings, so a young child may need you there, and an older one will understand why the drawings were ugly. The film is on the side of saying the true thing before it grows legs. Do not turn that into a speech about creativity. The useful part is a father who stops managing the sale of the house long enough to see what his daughter could not say at dinner. The number is 66.

Frozen II

74 instead of 66

Frozen II is still a family film, and it scores 74 instead of 66. What you gain is republic: A kingdom's prosperity on someone else's river.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    He is trying to sell a house. The real job is getting two children through a death.

  2. 9
    Household

    A widowed father, a daughter, a son, and an aunt. The plot fails if they split.

  3. 4
    Piety

    No creed. Grief is treated as real, which is a kind of reverence.

  4. 7
    Courage

    They go after what she made instead of pretending it is not theirs.

  5. 6
    Republic

    A town the drawings overrun. The neighbors are in the blast radius.

  6. 7
    Temperance

    The anger is drawn before it is acted. Scary, and bounded by the story.

  7. 8
    Truth

    The ugly drawing is the truth she was not allowed to say.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    What he keeps is the children, and a house he was ready to leave.

Homestead

Homestead

65Worth an evening.

A fence is not a town. Worth an evening if you will argue about who is outside it. PG-13.

Pass it on

The review

Los Angeles is hit. The grid follows. Jeff Eriksson, an ex-Green Beret, gets his family to the Homestead, Ian Ross's compound in the Rockies. Neal McDonough plays Ross. Bailey Chase plays Eriksson. The film, from the book Black Autumn, then asks the only question a bunker is good for: how long a locked gate can resist the people at it, and the people inside it. Ben Smallbone directed. It is PG-13. Critics were cooler than the audience. The coolness is fair. The question is still the right one.

Do not watch it as permission to disappear. A store of food and a rifle are tools. They become a moral failure when the compound is a personality and the town is left to burn as a lesson. A family with older children can watch it and then have the argument the film is for. Who eats. Who decides. Who is still a neighbor when he is hungry. The number is 65. The series continues the same compound. It does not get a second, higher score for lasting longer.

Sweet Land

76 instead of 65

Sweet Land is still a drama film, and it scores 76 instead of 65. What you gain is industry: Harvest is the crisis.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    A compound is logistics: food, power, a watch. The work is the plot.

  2. 7
    Household

    Two families under one roof. The question is whether it stays a house.

  3. 5
    Piety

    Faith is in the room. The test on screen is the gate, not a sermon.

  4. 6
    Courage

    Staying, and deciding who else may stay, is the nerve it is interested in.

  5. 7
    Republic

    A handful of people become a polity the hour the country goes dark.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    Fear is the appetite. The film is not in love with the blast.

  7. 6
    Truth

    A novel's attack, filmed. The human question does not need the bomb to be real.

  8. 8
    Stewardship

    What they keep, and who they refuse, is the whole moral fact.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
