    Egg
    It may poke fun at Karen and Tina, but it never says that their choices around motherhood aren’t valid and deserving of happiness. Its ultimate sympathy for these women may be at odds with earlier jabs at them, but it creates an empathetic space that is surprisingly emotionally satisfying.

    American Woman
    American Woman at once reveals its soft underbelly while landing a surprisingly effective punch to the gut — largely thanks to Miller’s deft performance.

    Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins
    Similar to RGB, Raise Hell preaches to the small choir that adored Ivins, but this documentary sings a beautiful new psalm that will reach new disciples and renew the follower faith like a tent revival.

    Wild Nights with Emily
    Wild Nights with Emily feels at once revelatory and a total delight, a surprise for both for literature geeks and those who didn’t do their required reading in school.

    Little Woods
    Little Woods isn’t always subtle, but the occasional lack of nuance doesn’t lessen the power of its timely themes or impressive performances.

    4 Days in France
    This is a beautifully shot film whose visuals work well with its philosophical approach to life and relationships.

    Keep the Change
    This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

    The Rape of Recy Taylor
    As awful as the events of 1944 were for her, there’s ultimately hope in her story in how it fueled a movement and continues to inspire and push people today.

    Sorry Angel
    There are moments of joy and humor throughout, and the film insists on feeling those emotions, just as much as it does grief.

    Love & Bananas
    Love & Bananas works on two levels, spreading awareness about the plight of Asian elephants and the damage that tourist activities like elephant treks wreak, as well as documenting Noi Na's 500-mile journey and dramatic rescue.

    Solis
    The minimalist approach and premise of Solis should work, but the execution in the script keeps the viewer disengaged, wishing the pod would move more quickly toward its final destination.

    Mr. Roosevelt
    With her debut, Wells demonstrates that she's more than a comedic talent with a wonderfully weird sensibility. As a writer-director, she puts her own stamp on a standard premise, resulting in an unconventional but genuinely enjoyable film.

    Girl
    Dhont’s film is a strong debut from a technical angle, but it lacks the humanity necessary for a story of this nature.

    For the Birds
    For the Birds is kind to its subject, while recognizing the harm she’s inadvertently doing. Animal hoarding is far more complex than most would imagine, but this film handles it with care.

    Skate Kitchen
    As in “The Wolfpack,” Moselle doesn’t just capture the rebellions of her characters, she expresses their triumphs and joys with intimacy and detail.

    Love, Simon
    Love, Simon is filled with details and specificity, making Simon’s story feel real and authentic in each moment, from the music he listens to to the costumes seen at a Halloween party, elevating it above what could have been the after school special version of the same story.

    Darkness Visible
    Darkness Visible is disjointed and drags out for far too long, but it features some effectively creepy visuals.

    Always Shine
    It’s simultaneously incredibly pleasurable and quite disturbing, owing to its chilling elements and commentary on larger issues.

    Betting on Zero
    Betting on Zero takes a matter-of-fact approach to its material, but it makes a convincing and sometimes emotional argument against Herbalife.

    The Incredible Jessica James
    Strouse demonstrates a contagious affection for his characters, and he invests in them in a way that makes us do the same.

    You Go to My Head
    De Clercq’s clear directorial talent gives the film the illusion of respectability, but it can’t remove the sweaty sheen of smarm.

    Definition Please
    Definition Please is one of those debuts that doesn’t fully cohere on its own but hints at the promise of what the filmmaker can do.

    Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes
    Even for those who do know Ailes’ history of profound power abuse and sexual harassment, Divide & Conquer is engrossing.

    Everybody's Everything
    Devotees will appreciate a different look at their fallen idol, while those who aren’t familiar with his music might find the film a bit long at nearly two hours but will see what the appeal was to those who loved him.

    The Cage Fighter
    At just 81 minutes, The Cage Fighter has been whittled down to its fighting weight, trimmed of every ounce of fat. Unay tells Carman's story without interviews or narration, but the film lands every punch without their help.

    Step Sisters
    Director Charles Stone III and screenwriter Chuck Hayward have made an overlong film at 108 minutes that may try the audience’s patience at times, but their movie hits its beats enough to make fans of the genre tap their feet along with the action on screen.

    Girls Trip
    The movie has its flaws, but they’re tough to remember in the face of the fun it provides for two hours.

    Get On Up
    It’s a crowd pleaser of a film, whose powerful musical moments can overshadow any smaller issues within the film.

    Weed the People
    Beyond its plea for research, the documentary is largely hopeful, but for balance could include more anecdotes and details of when the treatment doesn’t have the desired results.
