  1. Good Boys
    For all its claims to be rebellious, Good Boys is surprisingly tame by today’s standards.
  2. The Second Sun
    Gelfer may have missed the mark with this one, but she displays enough technical skill and empathy for her characters to deserve another shot.
  3. Gwen
    For the most part, Gwen achieves what it sets out to do. It surrounds you in scenic hopelessness and lets you stew in it until you’re done, or Gwen’s done. By the end of this movie, somebody’s definitely done.

    Low Low
    Good story and strong acting are a killer combination in this independent film.
  5. ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas
    Director Sam Dunn weaves wonderful mythology that leaves you happy for the band’s longevity and ready for more from the sharp-dressed men.

    ECCO
    The story is unique, and the end revelations are clever but fall short of mind-blowing (which is the bar). Lathrop Walker carries the film from beginning to end. He’s exciting and likable. He excels at his stunt work and provides the empathy we need for his character to carry us to the finish line.

    Brian Banks
    From a macro level, Brian Banks should just be a social justice film, but as we peer into the life of Banks himself, you’ll see a deeper and more profound story.
  8. Them That Follow
    Them That Follow is a dark and richly atmospheric experience. Despite its missteps, this is one snake-infested cinematic pit worth investigating.

    Ode to Joy
    Everyone has defined, and distinct characters and no one is phoning it in. Just sit back and enjoy this unique romantic comedy.
  10. Summer Night
    Summer Night has an easy, breezy presence about it, but there’s not much going on beneath the surface.

    Light of My Life
    Affleck carries a great deal of weight in the movie, but its Pniowsky who shines as the young pre-teen learning quickly what it means to be an adult.
  12. Satanic Panic
    The movie is also just plain out fun, and I feel like a lot of other horror films could take a lesson from it.
  13. A Score to Settle
    A Score to Settle reveals itself as a swarm of cliches that ring louder than bullets.

    The Peanut Butter Falcon
    The Peanut Butter Falcon refuses to condescend to its star and tells a story that’s authentic to the life and experiences of adults with Down Syndrome.
  15. Tel Aviv on Fire
    Tel Aviv on Fire moves with purpose, even if it occasionally trips over its own ideas. It has a lot on its mind but doesn’t tackle all of them deeply, focusing on the satire and outlandish comedy. Thankfully, that’s where the movie succeeds the most.

    Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
    Hobbs & Shaw is an action film in every sense of the word. You’re meant to check your brain at the door, shove your face with popcorn, and have a good time. Why would you expect more? This isn’t Shakespeare!
  17. The Operative
    Its dismal grey/brown color palette doesn’t help the film’s sluggish pacing, making The Operative one of the most head-scratching, aggravating experiences of the year so far.
  18. Daughter of the Wolf
    While decent in capable directorial hands – or as a supporting character – based on the evidence on display here, Carano doesn’t seem quite capable of carrying a film yet, let alone pull a dreary feature like Daughter of the Wolf out of the murk.
  19. Ladyworld
    Unpredictable, impassioned (despite the cold tone), and highly artistic, Ladyworld might contain a few amateur touches here and there, a few lags in momentum (and an utter lack of mainstream appeal), yet it’s cerebral and forceful, and will have you deliberating its themes for days after.
  20. Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins
    In the end, Raise Hell is the true celebration of the Texas spirit or rather, America on steroids as one commentator words it.
  21. Tigers Are Not Afraid
    Tigers Are Not Afraid isn’t quite the masterful dark fairy tale it aspires to be. The humor is entirely unnecessary and tonally misplaced. But what it gets right, it does brilliantly. The acting is superb, the mix of fantasy and realistic drama is sublime, and the story is haunting and fascinating in equal measure.

    Jirga
    Jirga is not going for subtlety. Its heavy-handed message about guilt, responsibility, and forgiveness is outright stated to the audience. It’s very idealistic, and you might not buy it. But you will remember the experience of having your eyes opened to a new part of the world.
  23. Purge of Kingdoms: The Unauthorized Game of Thrones Parody
    Designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, in equal parts juvenile and offensive, Purge of Kingdom is the worst film I’ve seen so far in 2019. If a fart gag makes your sides split with laughter, go right ahead – otherwise, avoid at all costs.

    Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood
    It’s a good film…a better version of the Coen Brother’s Hail Caesar! A film that kept popping up in my head.
  25. Skin
    It may tread familiar territory, but Skin does so with relentless energy, confidence, and passion. I can’t wait to see what Nattiv has in store for us next – and for Bell to get under another character’s skin.

    The Outsider
    The Outsider puts a spin on the western drama but quickly falls back into the conventional tropes of the genre. It best to approach The Outsider knowing that its primary focus is on the story and not action.
  27. The Sweet Requiem
    One of the many things that makes Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam’s drama The Sweet Requiem so special and refreshing is that it doesn’t resort to easy political speechifying. The filmmakers deliver a taut, lyrical story that leaves a shadow, that of sadness in which a tiny spark of hope determinedly lingers.
  28. Luz
    Only a little over an hour-long, yet manages to be one of the most compelling subversions of the possession genre I’ve ever seen.
  29. Supervized
    This is a low-key, indie take on a well-worn genre; one that frequently resorts to scatological humor and easy targets, making for an odd mix of the sophisticated and crass.
  30. Iron Sky: The Coming Race
    If you did not enjoy Iron Sky, then its sequel will not sway your opinion of the franchise. Iron Sky: The Coming Race doubles down on the ridiculous antics and significant action setpieces. The spectacle of it all is even grander than the first; just remember that the characters are not. For fans, it is precisely the follow up they have been waiting for.
