  1. Operation Mincemeat turns an absurd chapter in World War II history into a dour homework assignment.
  2. Thoughtfully conceived and brilliantly acted, it’s one of the most bleakly funny films to come out this year.
  3. The pace of this gorgeously shot Norwegian pseudo-fable will be a roadblock for some, but give Vogt a chance. Storytelling rewards are bountiful once The Innocents executes its conflicts well above the expected maturities of players on screen.
  4. Downton Abbey: A New Era starts out as a wistful return to the familiar before shedding its skin and letting the series’ nauseating ugliness come frothing to the surface. It goes from funny and charming to jaw-droppingly grim at the drop of a hat — a wild tonal whiplash that’s absolutely worth a watch. It’s a concentrated dose of Downton Abbey.
  5. Top Gun: Maverick is an out-of-bounds blast of afterburner fumes and thrillseeker highs that's sure to please audiences looking for a classic summer blockbuster.
  6. Men
    Men, from Ex Machina and Annihilation director Alex Garland, is a folk-horror movie about gendered trauma that quickly falls apart. It skillfully builds tension in its first half — with the help of brilliant lead performances — only to have that tension dissipate when its inventive metaphors become consumed by traditional staging and literal explanations.
  7. The Twin wastes its desolate location, talented cast, and strong opening in a meandering story that hinges on a last act reveal that doesn’t pay off.
  8. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a Sam Raimi movie from top to bottom, for better and worse.
  9. Hit the Road is a quietly powerful yet very funny film about the sacrifices we make for family.
  10. Hulu’s Crush is a queer coming-of-age movie in which very little happens, and whose characters barely exist outside of their joking lines of dialogue. Its young actors are a delight, but even as a story of teenage crushes, it rarely captures what it feels like to be young and in love.
  11. Hatching is a scattered body-horror romp with the best child performance this year.
  12. Bubble is an effervescent piece of heartfelt sci-fi that’s as refreshing as its cast and concepts.
  13. Memory is a well-made if uninspired action flick that forges an interesting new take on the genre… then forgets all about it.
  14. The Bad Guys is a fun, family-friendly caper that’s bursting with action and brimming with laughs.

    The real heart and soul of the picture is Cage’s on-screen bromance with Pedro Pascal’s Javi. Their chemistry carries the movie into far more memorable territory, and more than makes up for a few of the film’s less-interesting elements.
  15. We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is a moody, slow-burn horror drama about loneliness online.
  16. While not necessarily the very best of this genre, it’s a solid character drama benefiting from strong performances by a top-drawer cast.
  17. The Cellar has a cool and creepy set up but then fizzles once the answers start arriving.
  18. Choose or Die boots up a retro-style survival horror that will muster up a few delightful scares for the generation of gamers who grew up with Zork and The Valley of the Minotaur. But beneath this terror-filled glimpse of the ‘80s lies not much more than a bog-standard horror flick.
  19. A deeply misguided act of worship, it starts out as a hilariously bizarre showreel of strange visual effects, before devolving into a distant, disconnected retelling of the highlights of Dion’s life.
  20. Metal Lords is earnest with metal but sloppy with character and story. It delivers a rousing finale but the journey there is uninspired and half-formed.
  21. It looks drab and feels like it was made by people who want to leave its magical premise behind, even though the series refuses to have anything resembling grown-up politics or perspectives.
  22. Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor are a fun duo, capable of feeling human and endearing in the midst of cosmic turmoil. The movie's not a full home run, but it's surprisingly silly and shrewd.
  23. Morbius is unspectacular in ways that waste the potential of what could be an intriguing hybrid of sinister horror and superhero thrills.

    The Contractor may have an underwhelming conclusion, but the journey to get there is an emotional one, with a strong performance by Chris Pine.
    • 74 Metascore

    You Are Not My Mother effectively mixes folk horror, family drama, and slow-burn scares to deliver an unsettling story elevated by some fantastically nuanced performances.
  24. Bodies Bodies Bodies’ great ensemble and delightfully chaotic script make for a tense and laugh-out-loud funny film.
  25. Cooper Raiff dances around complex emotions with the smoothest of steps in Cha Cha Real Smooth, sliding into the definition of feel-good filmmaking.
  26. The Lost City is a decent action-comedy that coasts on the presence of its stars.
  27. Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union are great pillars here, though the film itself isn't consistent enough with its tone, snapping back and forth between sweet sentiment and cheap gags.
