  1. The Conjuring 2
    It’s slick and stylish to the point of distraction. This isn’t horror; this is exaggerated carnival fare.
  2. The Do-Over
    The Do-Over isn’t Sandler at his best, but it’s also not quite as putrid as what we’ve come to expect from him lately.
  3. Nuts!
    Nuts! manages to create a fascinating, thrilling portrait of the weirdness of industrial-age America that’s as side-splitting as it is deeply haunting.
  4. Alice Through the Looking Glass
    It’s a classic case of sequel bloat, a film that seems to exist less because of any extended story it wants or needs to tell than because it must repackage something that was once popular.
  5. Into the Forest
    At its core, it’s a simple and triumphant tale of sisterhood, but with so much ladled on top of it it begins to feel as though it’s grasping for a grandeur it doesn’t need. Sometimes, even the most intense emotions can benefit from a light touch.
  6. Disorder
    The combination of Schoenaerts’ intensely brutish, sensitive performance and Winocour’s singular dedication to tension gives Disorder plenty to offer.
  7. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
    Filmmaking this fresh, this vibrant, and this affecting for all ages is rare these days.
  8. Little Men
    Little Men is a summer breeze, with rich melodrama and an easygoing mood, built up around two great kids and their troubled families that says more than any after-school special. It’s an episode of actual experience, presented in lovingly natural, minimalist strokes.
  9. Weiner
    In the end, it’s not Weiner with whom you’re furious, but a media climate that routinely prioritizes scandal and lewdness over the intricacies of a candidate’s platform. With the circus that is our forthcoming election rapidly approaching, this message is all the more resonant.
  10. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
    Where the sequel falters is where its uneven predecessor, which is both less ambitious and undeniably funnier, excels: its ostensible villains just aren’t very interesting.
  11. Dheepan
    It’s a shame, given all of the film’s strengths, that Dheepan takes such a precipitous nosedive in its final act.
  12. The Angry Birds Movie
    It should come as no surprise that The Angry Birds Movie is a loud and dumb children’s film, but for what it’s worth, there are plenty of cinematic commercial ventures that are louder and dumber and so on than the well-meaning and slickly sold Birds.

    Maggie's Plan
    The script, although endearing, is too poorly edited to lift its quirks to the next level, no matter how many stars show up for roll call.
  14. The Nice Guys
    The Nice Guys spends nearly two hours treating Crowe and Gosling like a pair of piñatas, beating them mercilessly and unapologetically, and it’s watching them crawl out from underneath and towards some form of redemption that makes the film a genuine smash.
  15. Money Monster
    The direction and editing are slick and workmanlike, letting the performers do the work without overplaying the limited setting in which most of the film takes place.
  16. Love & Friendship
    Love & Friendship is easily the funniest movie Whit Stillman has ever made. His bristling screenplay — which shows shades of Noël Coward and Evelyn Waugh — has so many impeccable one-liners that it would take three or four viewings to catch them all.
  17. Last Days in the Desert
    Last Days in the Desert explores Jesus in his most mortal phase, and McGregor’s exhausted performance is essential to its success.
  18. A Bigger Splash
    Guided more by emotion and imagery than by any conventional plot, A Bigger Splash is a wicked, mysterious, ceaselessly sexy, and experiential carnal summer whirl.
  19. High-Rise
    On the whole, High-Rise hits more often than it misses. It’s a playfully demented and dry evisceration of the tenuous hold that modern western civilization has on civility, walking a fine line between the best genre horror and the loftiest of intellectual indie cinema.
  20. X-Men: Apocalypse
    There’s a same ol’, same ol’ wash to X-Men: Apocalypse that wasn’t quite as apparent in the previous two entries.
  21. The Family Fang
    What’s most unfortunate is that The Family Fang leaves so many ideas on the table that would have made for a far more fascinating film, one befitting its unique premise.
  22. Rio, I Love You
    Rio, I Love You is worth a passing look for its pot of talent.
  23. Dark Horse
    It’s a feel-good story enlivened by the fact that there’s no overly sentimentalized hokum to be found.
  24. Captain America: Civil War
    By firmly rooting all of the film’s sprawling drama in a singular conflict, directors Joe and Anthony Russo manage to do what many superhero films have struggled with in recent years: find a truly effective reason to pit superpower against superpower.
  25. Special Correspondents
    As a comedian, Gervais hardly lacks a sharp perspective. The Office showed him to be a merciless satirist of workplace culture. But when it comes to international politics, the comedian lacks the keen insight to say anything that hasn’t already been said by other filmmakers.
  26. Mother's Day
    The film’s script is designed to constantly flatter the sensibilities of its target audience, which is a nice enough goal, but it never seems to reflect the way that people actually speak, think, or behave. At best it’s corny, and at its worst it’s actively offensive.
  27. Keanu
    Keanu gets a lot of things right, and almost just as many things wrong. Still, there’s absolutely enough here to make it worthwhile, especially if you’re a Key and Peele fan.
  28. Ratchet & Clank
    When it comes to video games, fidelity to the source material only gets you so far, especially when the source material is as low-impact as Ratchet & Clank.
  29. The Meddler
    The Meddler is a delightful film with an emotional honesty that can be traced back to the real-life mother of writer/director Lorene Scafaria. Perhaps if Scafaria trusted the strength of that truth an inch or two more, it would be enough to avoid distractions along the way.
  30. King Cobra
    King Cobra is a movie that’s just good enough to make you wish it were even better.
