Wondering why your timeline isn't filled with critics reviews for Disney's New Mutants? Well, you have coronavirus to blame for it. Several film publications such as The A.V. Club, RogerEbert.com, Sreenrant among others have taken a stand to not review the film given that Disney failed to arrange a press screening for the same. The publications have taken a stand stating that they won't be putting their reviewers at health risk by asking them to attend public screening of the film. Given the current situation due to the pandemic, theatres haven't taken any special measures for coronavirus.

Moviegoers are allowed to not wear masks while consuming food and beverages which is still a risk for everyone attending the screening and hence several publications decided to not review the new Disney offering. Clarifying their point of not reviewing New Mutants, RogerEbert.com editor Brian Tallerico taking to Twitter wrote, “We also will not have a review of ‘The New Mutants’ because there’s no safe way to do so. We will review theatrical releases when presented with a safe way to do so – screener or socially distanced screening – but that’s not an option in this case.”

The AV Club also put up a post explaining why they won't be reviewing the film. Their post read, "The A.V. Club won’t be reviewing it, however. At least not this week, and probably not for many afterwards. A few days ago, we reached out to Disney and were informed by representatives of the studio that they would not be providing press with either an advance screening of the film or a digital review link."The New Mutants Trailer: Josh Boone Blends X-Men With Horror and This Chaotic Mixture Is Surprisingly Good.
