  1. Silence
    At 160 stately, glacial minutes, it’s also an endurance test — one that can feel like its own act of faith to pass.
  2. Patriots Day
    Patriots Day benefits from a robust, concentrated timeline and sheer bat-out-of-hell pacing.
  3. Why Him?
    It all works in theory. But the execution’s off.
  4. Passengers
    Passengers is not very good. In fact, it’s pretty bad.
  5. Collateral Beauty
    These actors are too good to be entirely sunk by the sheer silliness of the material (with the exception of Smith, who seems fully committed to playing the role of a human frown-face emoji).
  6. 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.
  7. All We Had
    The directorial debut of actress Katie Holmes, starring herself as Rita, a drunk single mother living out of her car, is the latest well-intentioned yet lousy-with-clichés treatment in the hard-luck-woman subgenre.
  8. La La Land
    It’s stunningly ambitious and thrillingly alive the way the best movies are.
  9. Frank & Lola
    Shannon’s intensity is the best thing Frank & Lola has going for it. And it’s almost enough to make it work.
  10. Office Christmas Party
    Aniston has a great time as the vampy, Krav Maga-ing Bitch Who Stole Christmas, and Miller’s willful idiocy is weirdly endearing.
  11. Man Down
    Director Dito Montiel splinter’s the film’s story on multiple tracks, in a truly shameless and incredibly obvious effort to protect a Big Twist.
  12. Jackie
    In its audacious strangeness, the movie manages to do something history hardly ever gets to: surprise us.
  13. Always Shine
    The too-clever conceit sabotages the whole thing.
  14. The Eyes of My Mother
    The film has a stunningly hypnotic look thanks to Zach Kuperstein’s crisp black-and-white ­cinematography. It feels like a waking nightmare. It’s just enough to make you wonder how a film that’s so ugly managed to look so damn good.
  15. Best and Most Beautiful Things
    The film’s overall effect lets the person — not the condition — be the real story, one that’s worth sharing.
  16. Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened
    A love letter to the theater—and a deeply poignant one at that—Lonny Price’s sentimental documentary Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened… is a bittersweet gem.
  17. The Love Witch
    The Love Witch is so thin that if it turned sideways it would be invisible. It’s like a Bewitched episode stretched out to two hours. But boy, is it gorgeous to look at.
  18. Miss Sloane
    Chastain fully commits to her boss-bitch persona, even if we only obliquely learn why she might have chosen such a lonely, mercenary life.
  19. Bad Santa 2
    As long as you know what you’re in for, the film is a hilarious good time, a respectable continuation of what made the first "Bad Santa" so fun.
  20. Lion
    Where Saroo goes and what he finds there left me in tears, but you feel that a complicated true story has been airbrushed into a postmodern legend.
  21. Rules Don't Apply
    It turns out that Rules Don’t Apply is hardly about Hughes at all. Instead, it’s a small-scale, lovingly filmed study of the blossoming romance between two fictional show-business newbies.
  22. Allied
    There’s something decidedly old-fashioned about the new Brad Pitt-Marion Cotillard spy thriller, Allied. And that ends up being a good thing.
  23. Manchester by the Sea
    Affleck has never had a role that matches his minimal, anti-charisma style like this one. His tendency to be mumbly and awkward and withholding fits his character perfectly. And Hedges, as a temperamental teenager working through loss in his own authentically teenage way, is a real discovery. Michelle Williams, as Lee’s ex-wife, doesn’t get many scenes, but she cracks your heart open in the ones she has.
  24. Nocturnal Animals
    The movie’s lofty narrative ambitions never quite catch up with its aesthetics, but it’s still a fantastic beast of a film, intoxicating and strange.
  25. The Edge of Seventeen
    Thankfully, Fremon Craig’s script is smart and sensitive enough not to gloss over the real pain lurking beneath Nadine’s bravado as she deals with the aftermath of her dad’s death, her best friend’s betrayal, and the fact that the right guy (Hayden Szeto) might not be the one with the best bangs.
  26. Bleed for This
    With the exception of maybe two scenes, you’ve seen everything in this movie before.
  27. True Memoirs of an International Assassin
    True Memoirs is harmless, disposable junk food that has just enough laughs to make you feel like you didn’t get scammed.
  28. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
    Fantastic Beasts is two-plus hours of meandering eye candy that feels numbingly inconsequential.
  29. Elle
    We get to watch another unforgettable and incomparable Huppert performance.
  30. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
    The weirdest and rarest misfire in Lee’s illustrious career.
