Despite the inclusion of the charming, talented Amandla Stenberg in the lead of this YA adaptation, The Darkest Minds couldn't be saved. A.V. Club's A. A. Dowd called the film "such a formulaic hodgepodge of secondhand plot points that it can't help but feel like an insult to its target demographic: just another case of adults trying to manipulate kids, this time by bilking them out of their allowance." Woof.
