  1. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
    The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White plays Springsteen in a performance that hits all the right beats, including some enjoyably sweaty, raspy musical set pieces (White sings the numbers himself), without ever elevating the role to anything greater.
  2. Ballerina
    Ballerina is actually great fun, a propulsive, pulpy gun-fu joy that revels in the things the early John Wick did so well: stunts and absurd world-building.
  3. Christy
    The film never rises above its clichés.
  4. Moana 2
    It fails to offer anything new and lacks the original’s fearless spirit. It’s not a dud, just a muted version of its forerunner, getting you where you want to go, just with less wind in its sails.
  5. Wicked: For Good
    It doesn’t quite reach the heights of Part One, but this is still a highly entertaining display of what musical theatre can do on screen with top level performances and a true affection for the world-building.
  6. Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
    Spinal Tap II: The End Continues may not have the brown M&M joke or cultish appeal of its original, but it gets great and lovable mileage out of just how good those first jokes were – mini-Stonehenge replica included. You’d have to be a curmudgeon not to think it was fantastic fun.
  7. Mufasa: The Lion King
    Jenkins is the kind of talent who can turn his hand to almost anything and Mufasa is a respectable film as a result.
  8. Nightbitch
    When Heller is metaphorically exploring the potentially horrifying physical transformation of pregnancy and post-partum life – and the personal sacrifices of identity, career, and self that women face when they become mothers – Nightbitch has a lot of smart, real things to say.
  9. Wuthering Heights
    It is a brash, funny, extravagant spectacle about sex and death, pain and pleasure, and – most of all – fashion. Milkmaid corsets, vintage Chanel, latex wedding dresses. Move over, Kate Bush. There’s a new Wuthering Heights look in town.
  10. Megalopolis
    There’s a sense of tinkering originality to the film that feels unlike anything else being made at the moment.
  11. Goodbye June
    Goodbye June is preoccupied with sentiment in a way that might feel great for a two-minute Christmas ad, but just doesn’t work for an entire film. Still, Winslet is a confident director and Anders has an eye for relationships.

    Death of a Unicorn
    It’s a bog-standard, eat-the-rich message. But it does at least give the otherwise ridiculous unicorn story something to hang its horn on.
  13. Jurassic World Rebirth
    It quickly becomes difficult to care about any of it.
  14. The Salt Path
    It’s a film that could do with a little more feeling overall – and more fury, too.
  15. Salem's Lot
    A fresh Stephen King adaptation should be exciting. It’s a shame, then, that Salem’s Lot – a small-town vampire chiller set in 1970s Maine – has absolutely zero new ideas or even a particularly frightening take on the old story.
  16. Honey Don't!
    Honey Don’t! is another misfire, feeling bizarrely like an ersatz Tarantino. Given the Coens’ track record of making some of the smartest crime films in recent memory, it’s troubling how flat this one feels. I sincerely hope Ethan Coen hasn’t lost his knack.
  17. Joker: Folie à Deux
    What a staggeringly stupid film. Joker: Folie à Deux is a sequel that did not need to exist. It’s an unspeakably self-indulgent, two-hour-plus beast of hodge-podge musical numbers wedged between drab prison and courtroom scenes.
  18. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
    The script for unconventional romantic comedy A Big Bold Beautiful Journey spent some time on Hollywood’s Black List, where well-liked but not yet picked up screenplays sometimes linger for years. It’s a shame it didn’t just stay there.
  19. Venom: The Last Dance
    The film’s inability to find a single tone – comic, cathartic or otherwise – makes it feel like a failure on all fronts, and the constant intrusion of loud, obvious pop needle-drops (and even a full disco-dancing sequence) don’t help.
  20. The Woman in Cabin 10
    This dazzling array of top tier actors have to spend most of their time discussing how bonkers the totally sane Lo seems, and so they never get past two-dimensional characterisation no matter how hard they try.
  21. Four Letters of Love
    The film feels limp, palpably too dependent on its source to emerge as its own thing. To convey the messages it wants to convey, it needed to work much harder to be more than just a pretty painting.
  22. Kraven the Hunter
    I didn’t want this movie to be dull – I would have settled for enjoyably bad – but unfortunately, it doesn’t even manage that.
  23. Lollipop
    The fact is that the restrictions and judgements around single motherhood are only compounded by the harsh reality of class and privilege. Surrounded by more bureaucratic red tape than common-sense empathy, Molly often struggles – but through grit and determination, she reaches a foothold for her family that promises a better future.
