    Charlie's Angels
    There’s no big action set piece à la “Mission: Impossible” here and no single line of memorable dialogue to reference. But someone will have created a supercut of Kristen Stewart’s best moments on whatever app replaces YouTube, and that will remain more indelible than the movie as an actual movie, especially for the girls who see themselves or women they want to see on screen.

    Mr. Church
    It flails for the heartstrings, but instead of reaching them, it only tugs at that muscle that makes you roll your eyes at its old-fashioned, melodramatic attempts at emotion.

    Wine Country
    You absolutely want to hang out with these charming, amusing women off-screen, but the time spent with their on-screen counterparts isn’t nearly as fun as you’d hope.

    A Kind of Murder
    The fine cinematography, set design and costumes only serve as a distraction from the sparsely drawn story and uninteresting characters.

    Miss Bala
    Miss Bala fails both when judged on its own merits and when compared to its predecessor. Just like Gloria in the film itself, Rodriguez is the only hero here. She works hard to elevate the material, but both she and her character deserve so much better than this.

    The Great Wall
    Other than the enjoyably silly banter between Damon and Pascal, there are few moments that endear you to anyone on screen. The movie’s tone veers from bombastic to goofy with speed but little grace.

    The Sun Is Also a Star
    Daniel tells Natasha of his elements for falling in love, “My ingredients are friendship, chemistry, the X factor,” and he assures her that they have that last one. But that’s what The Sun Is Also a Star lacks: that ineffable quality that makes it work. Though we spend nearly two hours in its presence, it never makes us fall in love with it, despite its best efforts.

    Dumbo
    Beyond Dumbo’s cuteness (which was so overwhelming that I now want a baby elephant for a pet, which is surely not the point of the film) and Keaton’s perfectly over-the-top performance, there’s little to latch on to in this Disney film. It throws so much at the audience that nothing really sticks, leaving such a small impression for such a big movie.

    Charlie Says
    [A] bland, sometimes dull film ... Those unfamiliar with the history of the Manson Family murders won’t gain any real understanding of the crimes or the character of those who committed them, while those who know the details won’t get any new insights into it either.

    The Kitchen
    Because we’re living in the worst timeline, these actors and concept are wasted in a movie that lacks spark, flavor, spice, and generally anything that generates or even resembles substantive heat.
    • 29 Metascore

    The Best of Me
    The Best of Me features actors who are playing well above their material, but Monaghan and Marsden aren’t enough to save this film.

    A Billion Lives
    A Billion Lives employs a variety of experts in relaying its message, but it sometimes feels like a statistic-filled, 95-minute commercial for the vaping industry rather than a feature-length documentary.

    Cruise
    Screenwriter Robert Siegel’s second directorial outing is better as an exercise in nostalgia than as a film, but it deserves some praise for its faithful recreation of a time and a place.

    The Last Color
    Melodrama and an overstuffed plot often overshadow the genuine feeling here.
    • 17 Metascore

    Overcomer
    Kendrick’s film eventually finds its legs in the final stretch, with an emotionally effective conclusion that might persuade even the cynics to its cause. Whether it converts them to running or to Christ will depend on the viewer.

    Color Me You
    Color Me You lacks details that would make its characters, their relationships and their actions feel real.
    • 44 Metascore

    Incident In a Ghostland
    There’s real ugliness here, with the creative torture visited on the victims being enough to unsettle all but the most hardened of horror fans. Unfortunately, the ugliness isn’t solely in the on-screen violence. Transphobia and misogyny flow through the film as much as blood, staining what might have been a solid genre effort.

    MDMA
    As the film’s sole director, writer and subject, Wang could have used some distance from the material.

    Remember Me
    As a screenwriter and director, Goldbloom is green but well-intentioned, with later moments redeeming some early ugliness.
    • tbd Metascore

    Lost Fare
    Lost Fare aims to tell a story that’s at once dark and heartwarming, but it never balances these two contrasting ideas. There is genuine feeling here, but the dialogue and plot make the proceedings plodding and contrived.

    The Confessions
    Italian director Roberto Andò’s film feels entirely manufactured, distancing itself from its audience and blunting its points in the process.

    Revelator
    As writer, director, producer, star, editor and more, J. Van Auken brings a cool central concept and strong visuals, but the film ultimately never finds solidity.

    Summer '03
    Summer ’03 bounces between plot lines and themes, shuffling through elements of better films with a lack of focus and little insight into Jamie. It never transcends its teen movie origins to become something more.

    Patrick
    Though the family-friendly comedy has all the good intentions of a motivational puppy poster, it unfortunately also has the same level of intelligence and plot.

    Swing Away
    Directed by Michael Achilles Nickles, the movie can’t maintain a consistent tone, veering from earnestness to silliness like a bad slice.
    • 52 Metascore

    A Mouthful of Air
    For a film so grounded in the real-life issue, the movie doesn’t work to make its characters feel human or its world feel real, blunting the emotional impact it could have had.
    • 23 Metascore

    Temple
    The Temple has competent visuals with a few particularly nice shots that establish mood. However, its script is poorly structured and opaque, offering little insight into what is terrorizing the tourists and why.

    South Central Love
    South Central Love tries to deal with heavy issues with grace, but its clumsiness undercuts its message.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Kimber Myers
    The Grace of Jake
    It earns points for not being overly pious, but there’s little depth in its exploration of one man’s spiritual evolution.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 40 Kimber Myers
    Despite the Falling Snow
    Despite the Falling Snow is ostensibly a love story set against a Cold War thriller backdrop, but it features no heat and little tension.
