    The Meddler
    Much like its main character, The Meddler exudes an irresistible charm.

    Captain America: Civil War
    At the end of the day, it’s still a comic-book movie, but one that actually raises serious questions about security, accountability and revenge.

    Keanu
    Keanu is an uneven but frequently hilarious comedy that relies heavily on the appeal of Key and Peele.

    The Invitation
    Psychological thrillers just don’t get any better than this.

    A Hologram for the King
    It’s true that not much happens — except cinema at its finest.

    The Jungle Book
    The vocal performances are spot-on, with Murray a standout as the slyly manipulative but ultimately courageous Baloo.

    Barbershop: The Next Cut
    If Barbershop: The Next Cut ends on an improbably upbeat note, the franchise is to be commended for daringly stepping outside its comfort zone.

    Demolition
    Offbeat and unpredictable, Demolition takes a wrecking ball to audience expectations.

    Everybody Wants Some!!
    The tale of Jake and his pals is something of a time capsule — and the kind of film from which sociologists decades from now might glean extremely useful information about American culture.

    Born to be Blue
    It’s not necessary to be a jazz fan to get lost in this poetic and poignant film.

    I Saw the Light
    If you’re interested in Williams and his music, this film is better than nothing — but not by much.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    As potential blockbusters go, Batman v Superman is neither as stupid nor as stupendous as it might have been.

    Eye in the Sky
    This is the kind of intelligent, thought-provoking mainstream film that’s in danger of becoming extinct. Eye in the Sky is miles above the average multiplex flick.

    Hello, My Name Is Doris
    An engaging but problematic film. Working from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Laura Terruso, director Michael Showalter (“The Baxter”) seems a bit uncertain in his approach.

    Embrace of the Serpent
    If the film is a bit too slow-paced, it’s also uniquely mesmerizing, with performances that perfectly complement the episodic narrative.

    Knight of Cups
    This is the kind of film that makes moviegoers long for good, old-fashioned storytelling.

    The Wave
    If you think foreign films can’t compete with Hollywood when it comes to delivering popcorn entertainment, prepare to be carried away by The Wave.

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    There’s a sharp comedy to be made about America’s misadventures in Afghanistan. This isn’t it.

    A War
    The story unfolds not as contrived drama, but with all the surprise and inevitability of real life.

    Triple 9
    It’s Affleck, as a cop whose skills are criminally underestimated, who makes the biggest impression.

    The Witch
    Unsettling yet mesmerizing, The Witch is more of an art film than a horror flick.
    • 56 Metascore

    Race
    James makes for a charismatic hero, and former “Saturday Night Live” star Sudeikis is a revelation as the steadfast Snyder.

    Where to Invade Next
    Where to Invade Next isn’t his funniest documentary, but it may be his most poignant.

    Deadpool
    Smart, sexy and outrageous, Deadpool delivers.

    The Lady in the Van
    Based on a true story, The Lady in the Van is a well-acted but somewhat wearying exercise in British whimsy.

    Hail, Caesar!
    Unfortunately, Hail, Caesar! comes across as far less than the sum of its parts.
    • 94 Metascore

    45 Years
    Daringly unsentimental, 45 Years makes a persuasive case that marriage demands not only patience, but guts.

    Mojave
    In a small role as a self-absorbed film producer, Mark Wahlberg is touchingly effective.

    Anomalisa
    With spot-on vocal performances from Thewlis, Leigh and Tom Noonan, the film is nothing less than mesmerizing — and must viewing for serious cinephiles.

    Ride Along 2
    As cop comedies go, Ride Along 2 gets the job done.
