Juvies (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

"Juvies" follows the cases of three teenagers assigned to Cheltenham, a Maryland reformatory where children go before being assigned sentences at reform schools or other institutions. One of the boys has been accused of burning his mother's house down; another is back at Cheltenham after a drug conviction. The third is Daniel, 14, a disturbed boy who pleaded guilty to assaulting his mother.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
