Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Sinéad W As a child, North didn’t feel absurd to me it felt natural. Watching it now, I see how surreal and exaggerated it is, but back then, it played like a dream I could’ve had. The story of a boy who divorces his parents and travels the world searching for new ones wasn’t strange. It was fantastical, imaginative, and emotionally honest. North exists in a space between a child’s fantasy and emotional reality. It’s a film that feels like it was made from the mind of a child, not just for children. Each scene unfolds with a kind of dream logic: bold, colorful, strange, and often funny in a way that only makes sense if you’re looking at the world through young eyes. Cultures are caricatured, emotions are big, and the rules of reality bend. Not because the film is sloppy, but because it’s tuned to how children think and feel. It’s not trying to win over adults. And maybe that’s why so many adults hated it. Critics saw North as aimless and juvenile, but I saw it as a rare film that dared to reflect the inner world of a child. Not just in plot, but in style, tone, and emotion. The absurdity wasn’t absurd to me; it was magical. North may not be a perfect film, but to the right child, at the right time, it can feel like being seen. It’s a journey through the highs and lows of growing up, filtered through fantasy and dreams. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Anton H I think about this movie a lot. What in the world was Rob Reiner thinking? It actually *may* have worked, provided it was a different kind of movie. If the offensive material actually went much further, with emphasis on the fact that a child’s imagination can lead to troublesome assumptions of other cultures, this could have been a clever dark comedy, aimed at adults. As a kid’s movie, though… ugh. Terrible stuff that gives kids a lot of bad ideas. Shameful movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Christopher J this movie isnt funny at all what a waste of time Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Red B Kids deserve better....The acting, editing, cinematography is all horrifcally bad. The jokes are terribly unfunny. There worse than Dad Jokes. It's clear this is mean for families/kids but holy cow I mean so is The Lion King & Home Alone....how in the world this got the green light even with the director behind it is beyond me. When North goes on his journey I am not kidding when I say it truly feels like stuff just happens and there really isn't any meaningful story. He just visits families for gags. It also makes no sense why he finds the perfect family and "Something isn't right" it's such lazy writing. The villian is so stupid and unfunny as well. Bruce Willis feels like he is just here for the paycheck and isn't trying and at the same time is miscast. His narration feels completely unneeded. The African Joke is so cringe as well. This just leads constantly to random stupid stuff scene to scene with no set up or flow. It's all just random humor with a light hearted kid touch to it. The music is the best thing and even that is just average. Stay away from this at all cost. You can't just make unfunny terribly written garbage and hide it under the guise of a "It's for Kids". This is the Poster Child for that. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
