Spoiler-free review of Macon Blair’s Idiots, starring Dave Franco, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Mason Thames, Kiernan Shipka, Peter Dinklage, and Nicholas Braun. In theaters on August 28th.

Kyle Balda’s The Sheep Detectives delivers on the promise of its title. Based on Leonie Swann's 2005 novel Three Bags Full, the film is a detective story in which a flock of sheep sets out to solve a murder. Craig Mazin’s thoughtful screenplay delivers a steady mix of humor, heart, and surprises. However, the biggest surprise of all is how much emotional depth is hidden beneath all that wool.
