  1. The Little Stranger
    The Little Stranger slowly mutates into a harrowing treatise on the ways in which absolute privilege can corrupt absolutely.
  2. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
    Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is one of the most batshit crazy pieces of outright nonsense this writer has ever had the pleasure of encountering, and while calling it an excellent film would be going way too far, I enjoyed every single goddamn second of it.
  3. American Made
    American Made speaks in shorthand, in its visual and narrative language alike, and it’s less the ribald ripped-from-the-headlines commentary it aspires to be than a cynically breezy take on an ugly, unduly buried chapter of American history.
  4. The Flash
    There’s an immense amount of baggage weighing down what proves to be a vaguely competent superhero adventure, albeit one that fails to add anything significant to the genre by the end.
  5. Us
    Exciting? Sure. Unique? Without a doubt. But it’s hard to not feel frustrated by a script that never seems to figure out what it’s trying to say.
  6. Blue Beetle
    Like the superhero stories of the ’90s and 2000s that clearly inspired it, Blue Beetle feels like the scrappy origin story we need to get through in order to explore better things in the more exciting sequel. Hopefully, Gunn and Safran see fit to keep Jaime Reyes around for their version of the DCEU, and toy with the true potential of its hero.
  7. Posthumous
    Posthumous still manages to charm more often than it disappoints.
  8. Offseason
    It’s worth watching for its disorienting and intoxicating atmosphere, but there’s not much narrative substance beyond that.
  9. Ghostbusters: Afterlife
    While Afterlife is not a terrible movie, it can’t escape the burdens heaped upon it.
  10. Meet Me in the Bathroom
    Vibes can only take you so far, and Southern and Lovelace’s dreamlike approach keeps us from having a firm grip on the chronology of the times. It also feels like an incomplete chronicling of its subject, given its narrow focus on a few bands and the lack of participation of key figures.
  11. Cat Person
    It works, at least for a while — until the real short story stops and it’s time to get rid of the ambiguity.
  12. The Brothers Grimsby
    Grimsby’s provocative, but not stupid. It knows what kind of humor it wants to achieve, and often scores big.
  13. The King of Staten Island
    There are a handful of laugh-out-loud moments throughout Staten Island, and one screamingly-funny extended sequence that winds up influencing a great deal of the plot, without spoiling too much. Having said that, your enjoyment will depend on whether or not you find Davidson charming and/or funny.
  14. Snowden
    Snowden is a film of sincere outrage, even when it strains to articulate that outrage in a less from-the-headlines manner.
  15. The 355
    Even the most grounded of James Bond movies has a certain level of goofy fun baked in; it’s inherent to the genre. And if The 355 had been a bit more conscious of this, it might have been a far more successful movie.
  16. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
    Cohen still has it in fits and starts. That “pedo radar” from Who Is America really ruffled feathers. He’s a performer of chameleonic qualities; see his immersive, anarchic turn in The Trial of the Chicago 7 for a nice contrast. But applying his talents to a sporadically funny, 90-minute SNL political cold open of a film is a little bit of a bummer.
  17. Gladiator II
    All of Ridley Scott's glorious pageantry is undercut by a script tragically burdened by cliches and characters who make stupid choices.
  18. Beautiful Boy
    Carell, Chalamet and their supporting players can only spit-shine a relatively rote addiction story so much; by the time the thrill of their work passes, it’s easy to find oneself waiting for more.
  19. Moonfall
    It’s not that a great disaster movie can’t be made in two hours or less, it’s that Roland Emmerich doesn’t know how to do it.
  20. Jurassic World Dominion
    It’s probably a bad sign that of all the players in this film, the dinosaurs are probably the ones one roots for the most. They didn’t ask to be revived for a confusing new era filled with cars and pollution and ridiculous celebrity lawsuits! They’re dinosaurs! They’re innocent in all this!"
  21. Venom: The Last Dance
    Sometimes you’re laughing at the movie, not with it. But there are plenty of laughs, no matter what.
  22. The Little Hours
    The Little Hours is reasonably entertaining, but it hints just enough at something deeper that it may well leave you wanting.
  23. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    It’s genuinely funny at times, but at two hours, it drags on for far too long, and Chastain suffers from having to hold up too much of the film’s weight on her thickly padded shoulders. It’s a killer performance looking for a movie to support it, and it’s just not here.
  24. Anna and the Apocalypse
    There’s a rich, hilarious novelty to the film’s juxtaposition of glittering pop and ultraviolence, but by virtue of the clear disconnect between story and song, that novelty quickly wears thin.
  25. Mister America
    Mister America aims for the acerbic pitch of a ‘70s alternative political farce like The Candidate, but the parting feeling is that it’s just an overdeveloped ramble. It’s not ha-ha funny, which is fine in the world of a muted humor like this. But like Heidecker’s campaign, it’s not entirely convincing as a satire either.
  26. The Mule
    The Mule is a functional take on capitalism, work-life balance, and the creeping, overlong process that is aging. The tense moments click.
  27. Pain Hustlers
    Though it may not be an awards contender, there are still sparks throughout to appreciate, especially in Blunt and Evans’ performances. Thanks to them, there’s a lot of humanity to be found in the film — the best and the worst of it.
  28. Everybody Wants Some!!
    A lot of it’s funny — especially any scenes involving Powell’s admittedly charming Finnegan or Hoechlin’s testy McReynolds– but hanging out with these guys eventually becomes a chore.
  29. Kinda Pregnant
    Kinda Pregnant is a relatively painless, if predictable, diversion.
  30. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things
    While it flirts with some exciting and original concepts, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is plagued with an uninspired story, flat characters, and a pair of romantic leads that have zero chemistry. It’s not overtly offensive, but it’s certainly the kind of movie we won’t remember two time-loops from now.
