If you loved Lean on Pete, try The Darkest Minds

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lean on Pete, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Darkest Minds is

A dystopian America, summer haze, abandoned streets. Internment camps hold superpowered teens, a 16-year-old girl escapes to join a group of rebels. It's a rare YA adaptation where the action scenes are more convincing than the romance.
