The movie currently has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes after 176 reviews, with critics calling it “touching,” “laugh-out-loud funny,” “charming” and “one of the best coming-of-age stories in a long time." On the website’s audience review section, the movie has just about the same reaction with an 89% popcornometer, as well.

Max Winslow and the House of Secrets and a truly odd alien invasion film are among three sci-fi movies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in 2024.

Prime Video 's new most-watched movie (at the time of writing) is the Spanish zombie action thriller Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End. The new Prime Video movie has topped the streamer's global top 10 chart since it was added on October 31, despite facing tough competition from the nearly 200 movies being added to Prime Video this month.

Critics agreed that the movie has a refreshing style that is reminiscent of nostalgic 90s mysteries while portraying interesting themes of greed and gender dynamics.
