  1. The Homesman certainly wins a few points for trying a different type of Western. There are no greedy land barons and no gunslingers drawin’ at high noon. But being unique isn’t enough if the story remains uneven and the characters don’t feel real.
  2. Cronenberg’s map doesn’t lead to a satisfying destination in a typical story sense, but it is a remarkable quest. For a movie that has so many problems, it is one of the more watchable ones.
  3. Nothing short of fascinating.
  4. Ryan Gosling wanted to make an art film and, despite some dull patches, pretty much succeeded.
  5. What's unfortunate is that Toothless is starring in a toothless story.
  6. This is a film about a journey, and while the destination – baseball’s major leagues – is continuously dangled in front of its protagonists, it’s getting there that counts. Oh, and also how fast you can throw a ball. That counts, too.
  7. The film has much more talking than acting, so McDonagh is wise to give it all the zest he can muster... But McDonagh, for all his agility as a writer, stumbles in fleshing out the story.
  8. Plainly unfunny.
  9. The best thing about this new Godzilla is that it spares no expense or effort to deliver big, burly IMAX-ified action... The worst thing about this new Godzilla is how that’s the best thing about it.
  10. You’ll laugh if you’re young, you’ll laugh if you’re old.
  11. Far-fetched, absurd and hopelessly schticky, but if you can get past its boring initial set-up, it’s actually quite funny.
  12. An essential entry in the cinematic canon of Spider-Man, complete with new villains, new questions, and new heartaches.
  13. The film is brisk, funny, smart, and artful, a strong pairing of high concept and relatable storylines.
  14. We all have childhoods to remember. Art needs to do more than just remind us.
  15. Worth making a little noise about if you’re a horror fan.
  16. The Other Woman eschews plenty of standard genre expectations to make an unexpectedly friendship-friendly film.

    In the running for worst film of the year... and it's only April.
  17. Unquestionably the work of both a newbie director and a green screenwriter.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Suffers from a script that places dramatic emphasis in all the wrong places.
  18. Hateship, Loveship suffers due to its dedication to an oddly unsettling type of earnestness.
  19. It’s clean, lean and smart.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A strange combination of mental exhaustion and boredom.
  20. While Draft Day is a very agreeable and predictable movie, it is also very timely.
  21. It's darker, stranger and pushes more buttons.
  22. Captain America: The Winter Soldier neatly and entertainingly puts into motion some big changes in the Marvel universe, while still sticking to its own charms — no easy feat, but one fit for a hero.
  23. Afflicted is an exciting, adept and smartly skillful debut horror film.
  24. If Tom at the Farm is occasionally impenetrable as a drama, it’s seldom less than gripping as an exercise in suspense, especially when Dolan’s precise sense of timing revitalizes otherwise familiar moments.
  25. Like the best of fiction, it conveys greater truth about coming to terms with the world at large, and regardless of whether each individual scene is ultimately justified in its inclusion, the cumulative impact of seeing something resembling a life unfold over a mere two hours and forty minutes is overwhelming.
  26. The execution of that script – is so clumsy and over-written that nothing in it sticks. There’s a symphony of visuals here, and big strange ideas, but when it comes to the actual characters, we get automatons sleepwalking through clichés.
  27. Does this mean that Sabotage is a rich, morally complex story about the gray zone between good and evil? Hell, no. It just means it is a bungle.
