    Dream Lover
    Possibly the greatest anti-date video ever...Writer-director Nicholas Kazan was obviously too enamored of his final twist to clean up all the loose ends and red herrings, but the acting has enough verve to put this sour valentine over but good.

    Love at First Bite
    Every now and then things get so convoluted that some sort of humor is achieved, but waiting through setup, setup, explanation of hoary joke, and delivery of hoary joke gets old fast, especially when the jokes are racist.
  3. Lan Yu
    At times too restrained, yet there are moments it captures the erotics of intimacy in a way that makes most American love stories look downright unfree.
  4. The King
    What’s left is primarily a series of grand battleground set pieces — filmed crunchily, and well — and a series of consistently strong performances. (Has Mendelsohn every not been menacing and great in anything?).
  5. Destroyer
    Kidman, to her credit, goes all in, but it’s hard to ignore the neon sign over her head that keeps flashing “See? I’m Acting!”
  6. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
    The wedding, which turns the very concept of ''Greek'' into the sort of hideous, pandering clichés that look rejected from bad Jewish and Italian sitcoms.
  7. Mumford
    Turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.
  8. A Few Good Men
    Like all courtroom dramas, A Few Good Men is gimmicky and synthetic. It's also an irresistible throwback to the sort of sharp-edged entertainment Hollywood once provided with regularity.
  9. The Mudge Boy
    It's not the homosexuality that's dubious here, it's the chicken.
  10. Unbreakable
    Somberly fantastic new mystery thriller.
  11. Ararat
    As ever, Egoyan assembles a devoted repertory cast, including Christopher Plummer.
  12. The Last Mountain
    The movie's power is undercut by the overemphasized presence of celebrity traveling environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  13. Sleight
    You’d hope that a film like this could put a bold new spin on the superhero story. The reverse is true: Here we are in 2017, and even our nifty low-budget crime movies are building a cinematic universe, and saving the best stuff for the sequel.
  14. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
    As someone who has warmed up to Anderson's work only gradually, I'd call this a step back for him, but I also can't help but wonder: Will he ever take that crucial step forward and stop saying, Isn't it ironic?
  15. I Am a Sex Addict
    Zahedi is ruefully funny and savage in his self-exposure.
  16. Scream 2
    This funny, gory stab-athon is as sophisticated about the mechanics of Part 2s as the original was savvy about horror flicks.
  17. The Ice Harvest
    In a season of bulging Movies Earmarked for Importance, it is almost startling to come across something as unhyped - and perfectly swell - as The Ice Harvest.
  18. On Chesil Beach
    Director Dominic Cooke is mostly known for his Olivier Award-winning theater work, but Chesil never feels stagey or static. It’s beautifully shot, and he pulls lovely performances from both his leads.
  19. The Rental
    A neat, nasty little thriller with a brutally effective final third.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    My Favorite Year
    My Favorite Year, a slight but sweet backstage comedy, now provides three levels of nostalgia: for the era of swashbuckling stars like Errol Flynn; for the golden age of TV that supplanted it; and for the presence of Peter O’Toole.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Random Harvest
    Garson and Ronald Colman beautifully play the delicacy of two aching souls trying to recapture their lost romance.
  22. The Interpreter
    An elegant adventure of a different kind.
  23. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
    Marigold Hotel achieves what it sets out to do: Sell something safe and sweet, in a vivid foreign setting, to an underserved share of the moviegoing market.
  24. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles
    Dramatically, though, the film is torpid.
  25. The Great Water
    An anguished Macedonian drama.
  26. Never Goin' Back
    The two leads have chemistry and a rebellious sort of charisma. Too bad they’re given such wheezy clichés to work with.
  27. Restaurant
    Tom Cudworth's script nails the ale-drenched details of twentysomething existence.
