  1. Contemporary Color
    A passion project from the sing-talk god David Byrne, Contemporary Color is a concert film, but a finicky one, unstable and unfocused.
  2. My Life as a Zucchini
    It’s a simple story of children who have to figure out, at too young an age, what kind of people they’ll be. And in its pervasive sense of hope, Barras seems to suggest that they can be anybody they want. There’s always still time, as long as love remains in the world.
  3. I don't feel at home in this world anymore.
    Feature-length films generally aren’t nimble enough to reflect the current zeitgeist with such uncanny accuracy, but Blair’s neo-noir-comedy-thriller is that rare story that seems to have come along at just the right time.
  4. Logan
    This is a filmmaker’s film, a fully realized statement that oozes with the assurance and confidence of a hungry visionary who not only knows what he wants to do but how to do it.
  5. American Fable
    While American Fable isn’t without its share of flaws, it’s the type of inventive production that hints of happier endings to come.
  6. Fist Fight
    What’s most unfortunate about Fist Fight is the wealth of talent it amasses for little to no discernible purpose.
  7. The Great Wall
    For Yimou’s colors alone, and one particularly striking set piece set in a kaleidoscopic stained-glass tower, The Great Wall may be worth the price of admission.
  8. Girlfriend's Day
    Too often Girlfriend’s Day feels like it’s making things up as it goes along, unafraid to introduce another contrived plot device because there are no real rules preventing it from doing so.
  9. A Cure for Wellness
    A Cure for Wellness feels like a return to form for the director. It’s not hard to imagine how Verbinski might have come up with a baffling horror film about the pressures of work/health balance. His latest film is rich with invention, intrigue, and a mind-melting liveliness that’s impossible to ignore.

    Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends)
    However incomplete, Nos Amis nevertheless stands as an engrossing portrait of the power of honesty and friendship, the permanence of art, and the perseverance of the human spirit.
  11. Fifty Shades Darker
    Dull at best, damaging at worst, and not worth a moment of your time.
  12. John Wick: Chapter 2
    Chapter 2 is a hyper-violent piece of pulp action cinema through and through, but it’s also an exemplar of how to make such a film with style and intelligence.

    David Brent: Life on the Road
    Life on the Road ultimately makes good in a way that few comedy films based on television characters do. Perhaps part of that owes to Gervais’ not-so-subtle, yet still powerful, insights into David Brent.
  14. The LEGO Batman Movie
    Given the sheer volume of jokes on hand, it’s impressive how often LEGO Batman successfully lands its punchlines.
  15. Imperial Dreams
    Where Imperial Dreams occasionally wavers is in its unsubtle storytelling, which often feels at odds with Vitthal’s appealing and naturalistic direction.
  16. V/H/S: Viral
    Although it’s by far the weakest of the three, there are some genuinely creative moments that spark the brain and fry the hairs.
  17. I Am Not Your Negro
    I Am Not Your Negro is the kind of documentary that could open ears, eyes, and hearts with its moving agony and historical empathy.
  18. Rings
    Rings is too beholden with current trends to truly exploit the potential it displays in its early going.
  19. The Space Between Us
    As with Collateral Beauty, Loeb piles on the ridiculous narrative twists to eye-rolling effect. The last twenty minutes of The Space Between Us are a rollercoaster ride of changing motivations, baffling character reveals, and overblown dramatic gestures that completely defy belief.
  20. The Comedian
    What really hurts the film is its messy screenplay and boilerplate direction.
  21. War on Everyone
    McDonagh seems to have more to say in this film, but it’s lost among the narrative and stylistic inconsistencies.
  22. XX
    XX is a horror anthology more admirable for its intent and concept than for its execution.
  23. Patti Cake$
    Patti Cake$ is a rags-to-riches story that too often comes off as a carbon copy of other, similar rags-to-riches stories.
  24. Call Me by Your Name
    It’s a transcendent love story, and a work of overwhelming empathy.
  25. Dayveon
    Dayveon’s muted, largely allusive storytelling takes a backseat to tone and place throughout, and Abbasi demonstrates an assured command of both.
  26. Gold
    Gold is weakly written, predictable, and too placid to achieve any loftier ambitions. It’s just a soft-sold tale of a schemer’s paradise.
  27. Brigsby Bear
    Brigsby Bear offers a touching and daringly unconventional reminder of how no approach to filmmaking is inherently bad with the right mind at the helm.
  28. Mudbound
    What’s perhaps most remarkable about Mudbound is its emotional honesty, Rees rarely sidestepping the inner lives of her characters and never diminishing their own battles to live in an unlivable time, however wrongheaded they might be.
  29. A Ghost Story
    A Ghost Story is filmmaking that challenges and exhilarates, a potent reminder of how many new places film can still be taken even after a century of people working in the medium.
  30. Get Out
    Peele is a talented director of action as well as horror, and Get Out is always far from boring even in its more familiar scenes.
