    Though it may not add up to more than the sum of its parts, animation fans have come to appreciate Alice in Wonderland over the years for the care and effort put into it, despite its flaws.
  1. Despite the powerful child performance at its center, David Oyelowo’s The Water Man struggles to focus on more than one narrative or visual idea at a time.
  2. While it may not always pay off the tension it builds, the film’s story — about a woman seeking closure after her husband’s suicide — makes the lingering unknowability of romance feel just as unsettling as any supernatural force.
  3. Although featuring some good acting, and certainly ambitious in its critique of the characters, American Animals is too sleepy to strike a chord.

    History fans will probably love the film for its authenticity. Everyone else on the other hand might have a hard time sitting through it. It is extremely interesting if not wholly entertaining.
  4. Leave the World Behind has a worthwhile cast, but its paranoid thrills quickly fizzle out en route to a baffling final scene.
  5. Hustle may be a conventional sports drama, but it still offers Adam Sandler another dramatic role to shine in.
  6. Pieces is a work of manic inspiration whose weirdest and wildest moments are strangely as integral as the ones bound indelibly to its utterly conventional plot. It's silly, it's absurd, it makes no sense, and whole scenes come and go without a link to anything else in the film, but it may be some of the most fun you'll have being scared at the movies.
  7. The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is a looney good time, and a grand return to the big screen for the classic characters.
  8. I Am Heath Ledger feels like a glancing take on the actor. It takes us through his professional life, and some of his personal one, but it never provides a full picture of him.
  9. Usually the fight sequences are great but the movie itself is poor.
  10. Using the strength of its powerful and interesting villain to set the stakes higher than ever, Avengers: Infinity War successfully brings together the past 10 years of Marvel movies into a largely effective cocktail of super-heroic dramatics.
  11. It's a faithful devotee to the sports-movie formula that’s kept from greatness by a few too many unnecessary components and a finish line that maybe should’ve been closer than two and a half hours away. But in spite of that, it’s still a hell of a ride.
  12. While not as powerful as its predecessor, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is a compelling documentary.

    The Americanization of Emily is worth a look for its fine performances and dynamite writing.
  13. Anchored by a rich and resonant performance from Daisy Ridley, Sometimes I Think About Dying deftly explores the debilitating effects of social anxiety and chronic loneliness, and the transformative power of human connection.

    Anchored by first-rate storytelling, Missing Link is another jewel in the crown for Laika that leaves you satisfied and still ready for more.
  14. Enola Holmes, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill, is a toothless Fleabag with Sherlock coating.
  15. Unsettlingly intimate, and nearly bursting with dread, My Friend Dahmer is an intriguing biopic about the early life of one of America’s most notorious serial killers, with an extraordinary and breakout per-formance by Ross Lynch at its center.
  16. The opposite of the soulless franchise extension it could've been, A Quiet Place: Day One delivers a prequel that elevates the series to new heights.
  17. Crime 101 has everything a heist thriller ought to have… but not much else.

    The direction is kinetic and frequently beautiful, especially through the fantastic opening act, and the supporting cast is largely great, but this is Craig’s film through and through
  18. Ne Zha 2 starts out tedious and juvenile, but after its first hour it pivots to enormous and spectacular fist-pumping action and tear-jerking intimacy.

    Director Frankenheimer does his best to keep the film moving, and he succeeds admirably in the final act, but the 90 minutes of dreck that precede the finale are of little interest, perhaps even tainting one's enjoyment of the first film, which is something no sequel should ever do.
  19. Powerful performances and solid direction elevate the conventional but impassioned fact-based drama Just Mercy.
  20. Fear Street Part 3: 1666 becomes that final puzzle piece that clicks into place, making the big picture clear. On its own, it's spooky fun, reveling in shadows, suspicion, and twisted reveals. In the broader context, it’s a climax that’s sensationally bold, thrilling, and joltingly entertaining… and perhaps not just an end, but also a new beginning.
  21. Superman is a wonderfully entertaining, heartfelt cinematic reset for the Man of Steel, and a great new start for the DC universe on the big screen.

    Never Say Never Again never reaches the escapist thrills of vintage Connery and Moore; it cares too much about getting sued than it does about giving the actor a vehicle worth coming back to.
  22. Spy X Family: CODE White captures the series’ appeal in microcosm, its stylish action, heartfelt found-family dynamic, and incredibly silly comedy all working in entertaining harmony.
  23. More distancing than disgusting, Crimes of the Future strings together great body horror ideas but does little with them.
