The new horror-comedy movie was directed by husband and wife team Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who also star alongside their children Travis Bacon (former guitar player for the black metal band Black Anvil) and Sosie Bacon (Smile). The meta movie, which was penned by Dan Beers (Premature), stars Kevin Bacon as a horror movie director who ropes his family into a new project about a Satanic cult.

Rotten Tomatoes has now aggregated 10 reviews from critics after the movie’s premiere at SXSW on March 13, which is enough for it to earn an official score on the Tomatometer. While the score could fluctuate as more reviews are added, at the time of writing, Family Movie has a perfect 100% score.

However, critics’ individual scores from their Family Movie reviews are somewhat mixed. The most common score is currently 6 out of 10, and it has peaked at 7 out of 10.

The lowest at the time of writing is the 5 out of 10 score from ScreenRant‘s own Gregory Nussen, who still deemed the review positive because “it’s fun enough to watch this foursome try and service their own needs and wants while showing up for each other.”

Regardless of the tenor of the individual reviews, the fact that they are universally positive gives Family Movie a record-breaking score. If it maintains its 100% score as more reviews are added, it will tie with the upcoming Carolina Caroline as the best-rated Kyra Sedgwick movie of all time.

It is performing even better among the wide roster of Kevin Bacon movies, as his previous highest Rotten Tomatoes score is 95%, which was earned by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, in which he plays a fictionalized version of himself.

Family Movie‘s score is also currently 10 points higher than Sosie Bacon’s previous peak (2025’s Hazard, with 90%) and 44 points ahead of Travis Bacon’s former high (2022’s Space Oddity, with 56%).

This 100% score also breaks the all-time Rotten Tomatoes record for the star-studded supporting cast of Family Movie, which includes Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children), John Carroll Lynch (Fargo), Andrea Savage (Step Brothers), Scoot McNairy (Argo), and YouTuber Liza Koshy.

So far, Family Movie has not been officially picked up for distribution beyond its SXSW premiere. However, this superb Rotten Tomatoes score could make the Kevin Bacon horror movie an even hotter package for potential distributors, so it’s possible that this development will get the ball rolling on an official theatrical or streaming release sooner than later.
