  1. Clifford the Big Red Dog
    Clifford the Big Red Dog is a sweet if shallow kids offering that sometimes soars higher than expected.
  2. C'mon C'mon
    Writer-director Mike Mills gets the very best from Joaquin Phoenix by pairing him with the young Woody Norman. Their pitch-perfect chemistry enlivens this quiet road drama about the perspectives of our youth with emotionality that won’t leave a dry eye in the house.
  3. Love Hard
    Love Hard isn’t reinventing the wheel, but Nina Dobrev and Jimmy O. Yang are adorable to watch in this feel-good Christmas rom-com.
  4. Red Notice
    Three A-listers globetrot and double-cross each other in Red Notice, a derivative action film that should be much smarter and sexier than it ends up being.
  5. Hypnotic
    Kate Siegel does her best to elevate a simplistic thriller that follows all the same beats you're accustomed to.
  6. Last Night in Soho
    Last Night in Soho’s biggest strengths and weaknesses come from the same place: its attempts to replicate much better psychological horror from decades past. However, despite everything that doesn’t work, its musical energy keeps it fun.
  7. My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission
    My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission boasts the franchises' best animation yet, as well as a dark and menacing villain straight out of an X-Men comic. It all results in a compelling and thrilling adventure that, sadly, suffers from being an isolated non-canon story.
  8. Army of Thieves
    While not without charm, the biggest factors working against Army of Thieves are a confused hybrid of horror and heist genre stories and an approach making it unclear which audience – other than the most ardent of Zack Snyder fans – it’s aimed at.
  9. Eternals
    Eternals is beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it bites off more than it can chew in its third act.
  10. Antlers
    Antlers is a satisfying, unsettling, and rather bleak horror movie when it focuses on its main creature. It’s also a thought-provoking character drama when it deals with parental neglect, but the two never properly mix, keeping it from being as great as it could’ve been.
  11. The Black Phone
    The Black Phone mixes the supernatural with relatable horrors in ways that will leave you both terrified and hopeful.
  12. Needle in a Timestack
    Despite a great cast, Needle in a Timestack lets the fuzzy logic time travel tropes trample the characters and our care for them and their plights.
  13. The Power of the Dog
    Jane Campion serves up a nervy psychodrama set against an astonishing cattle country backdrop with impressive performances from Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst, but an obvious plot trajectory that dulls the storytelling impact.
  14. Belfast
    Belfast is a love letter to both a city, and the ghosts of Kenneth Branagh’s past. There’s clearly soul-searching going on as he re-examines events from his childhood, and how they affected those he loved, and the decisions they made.
  15. King Richard
    King Richard is a simple tale of triumph over adversity. The supporting cast shines, Will Smith excels, and while this might not be the full story, King Richard nevertheless works as both character study and feel-good sports movie.
  16. Ron's Gone Wrong
    Ron’s Gone Wrong is a weird, quirky family comedy that pushes all the right buttons. Unexpectedly poignant, it asks some big questions about growing up in the age of social media.
  17. The Velvet Underground
    Torn between the avant-garde and the traditional, Todd Haynes’ The Velvet Underground is an intentionally fragmented documentary that’s less about facts, and more about the feeling of being alive in a specific time and place. While more accessible to those in the know, it’s still hypnotic enough to be inviting.
  18. Night Teeth
    Night Teeth's winning lead trio and its glossy, electronic buzz save this Collateral clone from sinking into full nonsense. The film's usually interesting, though it never truly strikes with malice or meaning the way it wants to
  19. Ghostbusters: Afterlife
    Director Jason Reitman does his father and fans proud with a funny, sweet, and spooky family movie that proudly takes on the legacy of Ghostbusters, while also introducing something exciting and new.
  20. Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales
    LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales gives the dark side its time to shine in a clever and funny mash-up of horror classics and Star Wars mythology.
  21. Mayday
    Director Karen Cinorre has assembled a cast and production crew who work hard trying to bring life to her frustratingly abstract sketch of an idea that never coalesces into a satisfying narrative, or characters worth caring about.
  22. Escape the Undertaker
    Escape the Undertaker is a benign but effective use of Netflix's interactive abilities. Pairing the most macabre WWE Superstar with the company's most positive players makes for a fun showdown, one that you might wish had made it to official WWE TV -- not in this form, of course, but as a noble "turn to the dark side" storyline.
  23. There's Someone Inside Your House
    There's Someone Inside Your House tries to make you think it's got a catchy, viable gimmick when in reality it's empty and unsatisfying.
  24. The Harder They Fall
    The Harder They Fall both subverts and embraces the Western tradition with some spectacular shootouts, slick dialogue, and a top-notch ensemble cast firing on all cylinders. Add a rollicking soundtrack to all of that and you’ve got fun and suave modern Western that smartly places a Black narrative squarely at its center.
  25. The French Dispatch
    The French Dispatch is both an ode to print journalism and one of Wes Anderson’s most richly detailed films.
  26. Red Rocket
    Director Sean Baker continues his strong career of shedding light on the fringes of American society with incredibly human stories. The undeniable center of Red Rocket, however, is a powerful turn from Simon Rex.
  27. The Addams Family 2
    It's a bizarre and overly rambunctious ride that forsakes cleverness for Billboard acts and dizzying set pieces.
  28. Venom: Let There Be Carnage
    Taking itself less seriously and having more fun, its relatively short runtime is packed densely with plenty of action, character development, and campy humor. At the same time, it’s a love story about relationships evolving and learning to grow and trust each other.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    No Time to Die
    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
  30. Lamb
    Lamb is a wonderfully strange film about parenthood.
