Every Kevin Smith Movie, Ranked
Updated September 13, 2022 to add Clerks III.
Over nearly 30 years, director, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster Kevin Smith has made 14 films*, many set in the same shared New Jersey universe inhabited by the characters Jay and Silent Bob (played by Jason Mewes and Smith, respectively). Though critics have certainly praised some of his films, "divisive" may be the best descriptor to apply to his work. In the gallery above, we rank those and all other movies directed by Smith in order by Metascore from worst-reviewed to best.
* Plus one NFT, KillRoy Was Here, which was not reviewed and is omitted from this gallery.
Smith's second straight horror film, this 2014 feature kicks off a trilogy of films featuring the same cast (though the third film, Moose Jaws, is still hypothetical). Michael Parks, Justin Long, Haley Joel Osment, and Genesis Rodriguez star, while Johnny Depp has an uncredited supporting role. Despite receiving conventional theatrical distribution (unlike his prior horror film, Red State), Tusk managed to gross just $1.8 million, though the few people who saw the film will forever look at walruses in a different way.
“Tusk is not a particularly good movie, but the vivid anxiety dream at its heart makes it one of the most personal films this writer-director has ever made.” —Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
