    Ricky Stanicky
    As a WWE superstar, Cena is a perfect casting choice for a larger-than-life character like the formerly imaginary Ricky. He rattles off jokes with the boundless energy of a man used to spending three nights a week catapulting himself across a ring, and he’s completely at ease as the absolute center of attention.

    Out of Darkness
    Shot in the Scottish Highlands, Out of Darkness draws on the eerie atmosphere of a place that still feels ancient and steeped in mystery.

    The Monk and the Gun
    The film pulls off something truly bold: taking what are perhaps the most emotionally and symbolically loaded items in existence and subverting their meaning completely to end on a note of peace, joy, and hope for the future.

    Black Box Diaries
    The film leaves on a razor’s edge between hope and despair, encouraged on the one hand by the passion with which justice is being demanded and, on the other, depressed by the widespread indifference with which these demands are met.

    Exhibiting Forgiveness
    True to its name, the film puts the concept of forgiveness on display and asks us to spend some time in front of it and consider it from all angles.

    Girls Will Be Girls
    The film is one that fully recognizes the power of a lingering gaze, a suppressed smile, the slightest movement of the littlest finger, and one which uses them all to maximum effect.

    Self Reliance
    There’s never any danger of Self Reliance’s reach exceeding its grasp, but it gets a firm handle on the things it does want to achieve: tell good jokes, craft likeable characters, and strike a lighthearted tone that’s always just a little bit odder than you may be expecting.

    Concrete Utopia
    This darkly comic and consistently revealing tale suggests that, without four walls around us to prop them up, most of our morals would crumble into dust.

    The Marsh King's Daughter
    Once the film turns into a paranoid home-invasion thriller, there’s no ambiguity left to the tale.

    Totally Killer
    It might not be quite as incisive a piece of genre dismemberment as Wes Craven’s Scream or Drew Goddard’s Cabin in the Woods, but it has a lot of fun poking at the tricks and tropes of slasher movies all the same.

    Cassandro
    Like any good fighter film, Cassandro builds to the sort of incredible final bout that makes your hairs stand up and the rest of your body want to.

    Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
    A unique joie de vivre courses through A Trip to Gibberitia’s every meticulously composed frame.

    Retribution
    Without a compelling reason for us to care about the people inside the car, a reasonably diverting journey never accelerates into an outright thrill-ride.

    Fremont
    The film has the ethereal feel of a half-remembered, mostly pleasant dream.
    • 47 Metascore

    Mob Land
    John Travolta’s scenes are islands of tranquility in a jittery sea of rote crime-movie pyrotechnics.
    • 79 Metascore

    The First Slam Dunk
    The First Slam Dunk is able to throw a relentless series of new gambits, twists, and reversals at the screen that will keep even seasoned sports film fans on the edge of their seat.

    They Cloned Tyrone
    The satire here isn’t quite as on point as that of its predecessors, but it helps that Boyega, Parris, and Foxx share the sort of chemistry that even the most secretive government lab couldn’t cook up.

    Biosphere
    Mel Eslyn’s film is a thoughtful drama about life, gender, and male friendship.

    God Is a Bullet
    Aside from the red stuff, the film is scarcely interested in what’s inside its characters.

    The Starling Girl
    The film is an impressively complicated and compassionate drama about shame and desire.

    Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World
    The film stumbles sluggishly from one chapter in Foreman’s life to the next.

    Carmen
    By stripping the story back to its most elemental form, Benjamin Millepied makes it feel mythic, poetic, and captivatingly romantic.
    • 77 Metascore

    Suzume
    The film is consistently delightful, offering up an unrelenting supply of shimmering, sun-dappled visuals and a sweet, strange story about a young girl making peace with her past.

    Polite Society
    From the first blow to the last, Polite Society is a charm offensive that simply doesn’t let up.

    Boston Strangler
    While the film’s determination to spotlight the women who brought down the Boston Strangler over the killer himself is admirable, it leaves a hole in the middle of the film that nothing else really manages to fill.
    • 67 Metascore

    Chevalier
    Chevalier doesn’t match the revolutionary spirit of Joseph Bologne’s life, but there’s still a lot of enjoyment to be taken from seeing a towering figure, long forgotten by history, returned to his rightful place at center stage.

    Hunt Her, Kill Her
    Hunt Her, Kill Her simply isn’t tight enough to maintain the tension that it seeks to create.

    Sharper
    A fumbled ending lets the air out of what is otherwise a fun and quietly stylish caper.

    I Heard It Through the Grapevine
    Dick Fontaine and Pat Harley’s documentary makes the political personal at every turn.
