    Apollo 11
    This is a rousing, essential viewing experience that reminds us of exactly what humanity is capable of when we work together toward a single, world-changing goal.

    Can You Bring It: Bill T. Jones and D-Man in the Waters
    Death and grief may exist in the soul of “D-Man in the Waters” but “Can You Bring It” is full of vitality and energy, a testament to the power of art in the face of tragedy.

    Mission: Impossible – Fallout
    There’s a delirious joy in watching this much action, this well executed at every level.

    Jane
    At its heart, Jane is powerful feminist statement about a woman’s passion for and dedication to her career in the face of structural opposition.

    Haute Cuisine
    Unfortunately, the film itself is so determinedly middle-brow with little to dislike other than how eager it is to please and how wary it is of offending. Unlike Hortense’s flavorful cooking, Haute Cuisine is aggressively bland.

    Sabaya
    With Sabaya, we witness documentary filmmaking at its boldest; we find hope in seeing not only the triumphs of the Yazidi Home Center but also what the medium can do.

    Get Out
    Movies with this serious a message about race are rarely fun to watch, but Peele has a perfect handle on tone, knowing just when to lean toward menacing, eerie or sharply funny and when to tip things in another direction.

    April and the Extraordinary World
    There is plenty to marvel at in Tardi’s darker, alternate universe Paris, one that’s best watched with open minds and mouths agape at the incredible visual and storytelling imagination on display.

    No Greater Love
    No Greater Love may leave viewers emotionally wrecked, but they’ll emerge with additional respect and gratitude for the soldiers’ sacrifice.

    Won't You Be My Neighbor?
    If there’s anyone deserving of hagiography, it’s Rogers. This documentary truly captures the depth of his goodness and earnestness, peeling back layers to reveal an even better person than you remembered. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” doesn’t cast Rogers as perfect, but it’s hard to imagine a more admirable man.

    Actor Martinez
    Like the man at its center, the film is aggressive and awkward, but there’s a sense of playfulness in how it pokes and prods at the world of independent cinema.

    Kubo and the Two Strings
    Kubo and the Two Strings feels like a miracle, evoking joy, surprise and wonder in its audience.

    Stray
    Lo’s humane film helps us glimpse the lives of those who are often overlooked, whether they walk the streets of Istanbul on four legs or two.

    The Guilty
    Möller keeps a sense of immediacy and tension throughout, despite never actually showing the cause of Asger’s worry and dread – and our own.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Kimber Myers
    Mike Wallace Is Here
    This is often an insightful film, but it’s full of delights for journalism, history, and political junkies alike. It doesn’t fully answer the challenging problem of where the line between the two needs to be, but at least it’s asking the right question.

    Wobble Palace
    This isn’t an idealized version of romance or L.A. millennials; Kotlyarenko and Nekrasova shine a glaring iPhone flashlight on their characters’ — and their generation’s — flaws.

    The Serengeti Rules
    The Serengeti Rules celebrates not only the diversity and beauty of the natural world but also recognizes the transformative power of curiosity and knowledge.

    Three Identical Strangers
    Director Tim Wardle’s film is full of surprises, the least of which is its own dramatic shift in tone from wildly entertaining to absolutely disturbing.

    Banana Split
    Regardless of how far audience members are from their own post-high school, pre-college summer like these teens, there’s still truth and plenty of laughter here that feels specific to their experience yet universal to anyone who’s had a BFF.

    Iris
    Set to a rock-and-roll soundtrack, with titles featuring the bright colors Iris adores, Maysles' documentary is energetic and vibrant. Iris is the cinematic equivalent of a party, with its titular character as its host.

    Holiday
    Eklöf doesn’t seem to care if you like her film or her characters — including the protagonist — and it’s this boldness that keeps you watching.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Kimber Myers
    Demon
    Demon is a film that improves the longer it sits with you, as various images seep into your consciousness and reappear without warning.

    Liyana
    The children’s stories alone would have been compelling, but illustrating them in this medium adds even more depth, nuance and emotion.
    • 79 Metascore

    The Feeling of Being Watched
    The Fear of Being Watched is focused and thorough, but it takes the time to place its events in a larger context.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 91 Kimber Myers
    The Crash Reel
    The Crash Reel can never be accused of being dry or boring, but Walker brings an energetic style that also complements its subject.
    • 79 Metascore

    Rogers Park
    Rogers Park is populated by real people with real problems, though the dialogue in Carlos Treviño's script doesn't always serve them well. The lines sometimes feel manufactured, but there's real warmth — or frustration or anger, depending on the scene — present in these authentic performances.

    Contemporary Color
    Throughout the documentary, infectious joy leaps off the screen with the same energy the color-guard teams display.
    • 79 Metascore

    16 Shots
    The resulting film is a gripping story about a search for justice amid systemic corruption.
    • 78 Metascore

    Women Who Kill
    Women Who Kill is delightfully specific in its approach to its characters and their community. It takes a familiar theme of romantic comedies — the fear of commitment — and gives it new life by adding a morbid element to the mix.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 91 Kimber Myers
    High Flying Bird
    High Flying Bird is often serious in how it deals with issues more substantial than just sports, but even beyond McCraney’s sharp, witty script, there’s a sense of joy here. The fun Soderbergh had making the film radiates off it, with this masterful movie that reminds the audience why we’re lucky one of the greatest living directors is still in the business.
