The 25 Best Movies of 2017 So Far
Wonder Woman is helping to save Hollywood. The superhero movie, starring Gal Gadot as the Amazon warrior, is one of only a handful of big-budget studio films that made our rundown of the most critically acclaimed films of the year to date.
Our list features the 25 highest-scoring films with at least 15 reviews from professional critics that were released in theaters in the United States between January 1st and June 30th. (Note that though you'll see rounded Metascores, the films are ranked prior to rounding.) Naturally, the roster is heavy on foreign-language and art-house titles, but it also includes three box-office blockbusters.
The rare Netflix film to receive a theatrical release (simultaneous with its streaming debut), director Bong Joon-ho's follow-up to Snowpiercer is an occasionally messy blend of Spielbergian fantasy—complete with a giant, adorable CGI pig-creature—and anti-capitalism satire starring Tilda Swinton (in two roles), Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Ahn Seo-hyun, Lily Collins, and Steven Yeun.
“A work of melancholy enchantment, by turns sweet, funny, scary, sad, and—in the manner of all good science fiction movies—thought-provoking. ” —Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
