  1. Demolition
    Jake Gyllenhaal’s wild-card performance is the only reason to bother with "Dallas Buyers Club" director Jean-Marc Vallée’s manipulative downer.
  2. Hardcore Henry
    A hypercaffeinated first-person action flick that teeters somewhere between gonzo insanity and a nausea-inducing endurance test.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The Dark Horse
    How The Dark Horse differs from similar based-on-a-true-story dramas like "Remember the Titans" and "Freedom Writers" is the deeply personal focus on the mentor’s own family struggles and mental illness.
  4. Everybody Wants Some!!
    There’s Glen Powell as Finn, the endearing loquacious smoothie; there’s Juston Street as Jay, the psycho loose-cannon fireballer; and Wyatt (son of Kurt) Russell as Willoughby, the older, sage-like stoner who quotes Carl Sagan after ripping bong hits.

    The Confirmation
    The Confirmation becomes a string of father-son misadventures that lack memorable characters or engaging dialogue.
  6. Everything Is Copy
    Copy celebrates a brilliant storyteller and her lacerating wit...but also recalls a woman who could be bossy, presumptuous, and sometimes mean. To the end, though, she was adored.
  7. Fireworks Wednesday (2006)
    Farhadi’s intrigue doesn’t feel like the stuff of a Hollywood thriller. It’s more realistic, more pedestrian than that – which gives it a real ring of low-key emotional truth.
  8. Krisha
    It’s a small, modest film, but its impact is anything but.
  9. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    The winking ethnic jokes weren’t all that revolutionary in the first film, and this time around, they feel even more stale.
  10. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    I get that this mano a supermano story line is a sacred text among comic-book aficionados, but Dawn of Justice doesn’t do the tale any favors. It’s overstuffed, confusing, and seriously crippled by Eisenberg’s over-the-top performance.
  11. Pee-wee's Big Holiday
    A lot of us have really missed Pee-wee, and seeing him go through his fun-house morning regimen at the outset of the film is a giddy treat. It’s like catching up with an old friend. But nostalgia gets you only so far.
  12. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    Allegiant aches to be a thought-provoking, moving allegory of the current world. Instead, it’s an unwieldy two hours too unintentionally silly to validate how seriously it takes itself.
  13. The Bronze
    The Bronze has a loony Napoleon Dynamite–meets–Talladega Nights-on-the-balance-beam charm. Hope may be a giant jackass, but she’s America’s jackass.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Miracles from Heaven
    Miracles From Heaven stands firm atop a sloppily made case for faith over logic and spirituality over science, and for that, it’s challenging to view as a film instead of judgmental ideology in cinematic drag.
  15. Midnight Special
    As father and son speed toward some doomsday reckoning, Nichols keeps us guessing in a way that evokes "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Midnight Special is a more modest, more enigmatic film than that one was, but it’s no less gripping.
  16. Remember
    A twisted helix of "Memento" and "Munich" without either of those film’s craft, depth, or thematic murkiness.
  17. The Young Messiah
    As this year’s other Jesus movies go, at least Risen managed to add new characters and perspective to one of the world’s most well-known stories. The Young Messiah struggles to hold its audience’s attention.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The Perfect Match
    As if to make up for the predictable main plot, The Perfect Match is bogged down with a slew of uninteresting B-stories.
  19. The Brothers Grimsby
    Here’s what you didn’t expect: That The Brothers Grimsby, an upstairs-downstairs spy comedy, would be Cohen’s best work in a decade.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Barney Thomson
    Ultimately, Barney Thomson’s roots are exposed too easily, and the question of “where’d they get that from?” often trumps our curiosity of where the film at hand is going, and that’s a problem.
  21. Ava's Possessions
    Krause’s deadpan wit, coupled with the inspired scenes at Spirit Possessions Anoymous, make Ava’s Possessions a fun, fresh take on a genre staple.
  22. The Other Side of the Door
    The true horror of The Other Side of the Door is that Maria, too, has kicked off a vicious cycle of unnatural destruction, as the movie makes clear in its hard-hitting final punchline.
  23. Eye in the Sky
    Aaron Paul has key scenes as the drone pilot who actually has to pull the trigger, but it’s the late Alan Rickman, as Mirren’s superior, who steals the film.
  24. Creative Control
    Creative Control is a much more modest film (both visually and thematically) than something like Her or Ex Machina, but it never feels hamstrung by its limitations. If you go with its future-shock flow, it will cast a spell that feels like something between a dream and a nightmare.
  25. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    For a rookie director, Trachtenberg appears to be a real craftsman, even if what he’s crafting doesn’t add up to as much as you hope it will.
  26. The Wave
    The visual effects are excellent, but director Roar Uthaug, who’s been tapped to reboot the "Tomb Raider" franchise, splashes in the clichés of big, dumb American action movies.
  27. Emelie
    Those scenes do allow star Sarah Bolger to showcase her range as a babysitter gradually transforming from sweet to sinister.
  28. London Has Fallen
    The new sequel, London Has Fallen, implausibly ups its predecessor’s stakes to "Die Hard in the City of London." Unfortunately, widening the scope this dramatically causes the entire fragile action-movie axis to spin wildly out of control.
  29. Knight of Cups
    Essentially shapeless and paced like the tide rolling in, Knight of Cups should be reserved for hardcore Malick fans only, those who have the patience to metaphorically wade through the literal wading, which there happens to be a lot of in this movie.
  30. Zootopia
    Zootopia delivers the genre’s requisite barrage of quick-hit puns and pop culture riffs.
