Director: Josh Boone
Starring: Blu Hunt, Henry Zaga, Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga
Reviews
"The strengths of 'The New Mutants' have more to do with its stakes being small - and a focus on telling stories about these characters instead of apocalyptic end-of-the-world threats. Whatever else is happening, these teens struggle with what life has thrown at them. They just happen to have superpowers." - Los Angeles Times
"...the film's trio of young and tough female leads manages to give your typically male-dominated genre something of a feminine twist." - Hollywood Reporter
"Like 'The Breakfast Club' on steroids..." - Variety
