Thoughtful movie evaluations examine each film through diverse lenses—human, artistic, religious, and Catholic. With easily accessible movie reviews that are both media-savvy and faith-oriented, making informed choices about films for yourself and your family becomes simpler.

Meeting Jesus at the Movies and Kids Meeting Jesus at the Movies Guides are resources intended to support you, your family, your classroom, and your parish in engaging with media from a faith perspective.
With these tools, we aspire to provide a media-conscious approach to popular media, offering insights on how to enhance your relationship with Christ and others.
