  1. Robot Stories
    The collection can be summed up in four words I never thought I'd see together: science-fiction chamber music.
  2. Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
    For a while, the atmosphere seems just right. As Mrs. Parker goes on, it becomes apparent that the one-liners, droll as some of them are, aren't really going to coalesce into characters, scenes, dramatic encounters.
  3. Deadpool 2
    It’s in Deadpool’s DNA to channel the wild id of a 12-year-old boy — a very clever one who happens to love boobs, Enya, and blowing stuff up. Which is dizzy fun for a while, like eating Twinkies on a Gravitron. Eventually, though, it just wears you out.
  4. The Way Back
    Affleck keeps the movie anchored with his rumpled, unshowy performance: a man killing himself to live, until he can start to believe that maybe there's a better way.
  5. Puzzle
    Director Marc Turtletaub pulls thoughtful, carefully shaded performances from Denman, Khan, and, most of all, Scottish actress Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire, No Country for Old Men), who refuses to let Agnes be an easy avatar for midlife longing and suburban discontent.
  6. I Care a Lot
    Pike . . . feels unleashed by the wickedness of the role, gleefully sinking those gleaming white teeth into her finest villainy since Gone Girl. As the mercenary Marla — cool-eyed and indomitable, a razor blade poured into a buttercream blazer — she's delicious, a shiny-haired nihilist who couldn't care less if she tried.
  7. The Infiltrator
    The Infiltrator may not be as innovative as "Breaking Bad," but it sure is fun to watch Cranston at his best again, masterfully walking the tightrope between good and bad.
  8. Pitch Perfect
    Without the music, the movie might have been painful, but the songs, Auto-Tuned and processed as they are, generate a hooky bliss. They're the chewy center of this ultra-synthetic hard candy.
  9. Mary Poppins Returns
    Spoonfuls of sugar always help the movie magic go down; if only this Mary had gotten a necessary twist of lemon, too.
  10. Félix And Meira
    Quebecois director Maxime Giroux mistakes long, wordless scenes of characters gazing at each other for tenderness, but he imaginatively uses gospel music as the forbidden food of love.
  11. Vivo
    Have tissues ready, and thank Vivo for teaching the little ones a valuable lesson: Do not go into a swamp alone, or you will meet a tree-size python who sounds just like Michael Rooker.
  12. You're Next
    It's so deliciously twisted, it will make you walk out of the theater feeling like you just endured a grueling, giddy workout.
  13. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
    Star Trek VI is just pleasantly diverting, business-as-usual hokum.
  14. Hope Springs
    Hope Springs dares viewers to look closely at the remarkable sight of naked adult intimacy and its discontents.
  15. Catfish
    In Catfish, the camera's-rolling readiness to trawl for drama leaves a slimy aftertaste.
  16. I Am Legend
    In spirit, I Am Legend is caught in some abstractly doom-laden sci-fi past. For what it is, though, the film is well-done, a case of suspenseful competence trumping questionable relevance.
  17. Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
    A lickety-split, madly packed, roller-coaster entertainment that might almost have been designed to make you scared of how much smarter your kids are than you.
  18. Coffee and Cigarettes
    Just when you're certain that Jarmusch is treading water with his borderline-tedious cleverness, something happens: Coffee and Cigarettes turns into a movie FULL of talk -- rich, supple, hilarious, masterfully orchestrated talk.

    The Missouri Breaks
    It’s quite good.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Miss Stevens
    Though its heart beats with the same blood as something like "Lost in Translation," in which a daunting age gap inspires lasting platonic chemistry between two drifting souls, Miss Stevens feels fresh in its take on human vulnerability.
  21. Basquiat
    Basquiat is an engrossing spectacle, but by the end, as a zoned-out Basquiat stands regally in a cruising Jeep, we realize that Schnabel has reconfigured his story as a kind of ghostly myth, and that we've never completely seen the man behind it.
  22. The Wedding Song
    Has a sensuous, intimate filmmaking style that overrides The Wedding Song's more precariously loaded plot parallels.
  23. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
    Rogue One would have been a very good stand-alone sci-fi movie if it came out under a different name. But what makes it especially exciting is how it perfectly snaps right into the Star Wars timeline and connects events we already know by heart with ones that we never even considered.
  24. A United Kingdom
    It’s their quiet devotion and enduring dignity that give A United Kingdom not just a romantic center, but its soul.
  25. Last Night in Soho
    Soho is one hell of a half of a movie: a wildly styled neon reverie whose spooky bedazzlement only crashes to earth when it succumbs to bog-standard horror in the final act.
  26. White Men Can't Jump
    Perhaps the first sports movie ever made in which the characters talked as good a game as they played.
  27. Buried
    The political angle is gratuitous, even foolish, and certainly a distraction from the movie's visual strengths.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    White Girl
    Somewhere between Catherine Hardwicke’s "Thirteen" and Harmony Korine’s "Spring Breakers" lies the rebellious mood of Elizabeth Wood’s White Girl, a Sundance firecracker that easily finds its place among the cinematic canon of great dramas cut from the good-girl-gone-bad cloth.
  29. Married Life
    Married Life congratulates its audience on a sophisticated, humorous complicity in the obvious immorality of Harry's murder plans, as well as in Richard's own ungentlemanly designs on his pal's gorgeous girl. Every adult, the movie suggests, has got a secret.
  30. Grace Is Gone
    Grace Is Gone grabs on to a name, a war, and the metaphor-come-to-life of a theme park with rides going nowhere. And we, the people, are spun around and shaken for tears.
