  1. 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.
  2. The Black Phone
    The Black Phone mixes the supernatural with relatable horrors in ways that will leave you both terrified and hopeful.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. The French Dispatch
    The French Dispatch is both an ode to print journalism and one of Wes Anderson’s most richly detailed films.
  17. 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.
  18. The Addams Family 2
    It's a bizarre and overly rambunctious ride that forsakes cleverness for Billboard acts and dizzying set pieces.
  19. 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.

    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
  21. Lamb
    Lamb is a wonderfully strange film about parenthood.
  22. Benedetta
    Benedetta is led by a wildly fun performance from Virginie Efira as a real-life 17th century lesbian nun. Equal parts funny, sensual and incendiary, it’s a committed work from director Paul Verhoeven — a master of tonal balance — even if its exploration of the war between body and spirit occasionally falls short.
  23. V/H/S/94
    All five stories in V/H/S/94 feature a cult-like element, but only one of them feels like a true work of madness.
  24. I'm Your Man
    I’m Your Man promises Dan Stevens as a rom-com dreamboat, but what it delivers is far more intriguing and rewarding.
  25. The Starling
    The Starling contains themes of grief and guilt that are worth exploration, but finds itself unable to delve deep into these elements, instead relying on bad bird effects and a needlessly quirky and eccentric tone to gloss over most of the uncomfortable elements.
  26. The Many Saints of Newark
    The Many Saints of Newark is a solid and fan-friendly prequel to the classic HBO series, even if it does try to add too much to the Sopranos Universe.
  27. The Tragedy of Macbeth
    A gorgeous black-and-white film that harkens back to several cinematic eras, Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth twists an old tale just enough to keep it fresh, but relies on tremendous lead performances by Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand to make the familiar feel exciting.
  28. Inu-oh
    Inu-Oh is the electrifying, headbanging animated rock opera that film has been sorely missing, with a poignant message and unrestricted animation that reaffirms the visual prowess of director Masaaki Yuasa.
  29. Copshop
    Copshop is meaningfully and enjoyably derivative as a patchwork homage to '70s shoot-em-up cinema (even Spaghetti Westerns), but it never quite reaches its potential.
  30. Cry Macho
    Cry Macho has spare moments of charm and tranquility, but mostly it's a dry and unfinished story that fails to hit even the most basic of Story 101 beats.
