  1. Phantom Thread
    Gorgeous and unpredictable, and maybe a little indulgent, Phantom Thread is another fascinating drama from Paul Thomas Anderson, with captivating lead performances by Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps.
  2. The Post
    Steven Spielberg tells an intimate story through extravagant storytelling, giving audiences an intensely relevant historical drama, and giving Meryl Streep one of her most nuanced roles in years.
  3. The Shape of Water
    Guillermo del Toro’s engrossing fairy tale The Shape of Water offers so much to be enamored of in terms of performance, execution and design that it’s disappointing when its story veers into formula.
  4. Coco
    Coco wonderfully explores familial themes, identity, and learning what it means to grow up in a world that isn’t perfect.
  5. Molly's Game
    Molly’s Game doesn’t announce Aaron Sorkin as the next great filmmaker, but he’s a good one. It’s a competently filmed production with some fine performances, but it lacks the focus and showpersonship that would be necessary to make it feel like more.
  6. Darkest Hour
    Gary Oldman gives an impeccable performance as Winston Churchill in a gorgeously photographed, suspenseful World War II film that suffers from too much hero worship.
  7. The Disaster Artist
    The Disaster Artist is a hilarious and heart-wrenching ode to outsider art, with a baffling story that would be impossible to believe if it weren’t apparently true. James Franco directs the film with sensitivity and painstaking detail, and gives a fantastic performance as one of the worst filmmakers - and one of the most unusual human beings - ever.
  8. Wonder
    Featuring several stunning performances by its stars, with Jacob Tremblay shining brightest of them all, Wonder ends up being a much better and wiser film than its trailers or premise let on.
  9. Mudbound
    Mudbound is a daring approach to a classical narrative, a film that tries to look from multiple perspectives at an intimate human drama that has far-reaching ramifications. Its imperfections are debatable, and fairly minor. It is the work of a bold storyteller working at the top of her game.
  10. Call Me by Your Name
    Call Me By Your Name is a romanticized coming of age film, for better and worse. It’s a lovely place to visit but not particularly absorbing as a narrative, even though Armie Hammer gives an impressive performance.
  11. The Star
    If you can get past the many bizarre inconsistencies, The Star is a relatively decent film for young Christian audiences. The writing, voice-acting and animation are unremarkable, but they get the job done, and the film’s heart seems to be in the right place.
  12. Justice League
    It’s messy and flawed but it still offers enough entertainment value (mostly thanks to its likable characters) to make it worthwhile.
  13. Thelma
    Trier manages to make a movie about passion that feels almost completely detached, right to the end. It’s an approach that gives Thelma, the movie, the appearance of portent without fully exploring the fascinating themes, characters or storylines that might actually have justified that self-serious tone.
  14. Murder on the Orient Express
    It’s a classy, riveting remake, and it will make you want to see even more adventures featuring this particular Poirot.
  15. Daddy's Home 2
    Daddy’s Home 2 seems like just another cookie-cutter comedy, but its heart is in the wrong place. It’s mean-spirited and half-hearted, and more than that… it’s just not funny.
  16. Roman J. Israel, Esq.
    Fiercely intelligent and deeply suspenseful, Roman J. Israel, Esq. is an absorbing morality tale from writer/director Dan Gilroy, and boasts one of Denzel Washington’s finest performances.

    Conor McGregor: Notorious
    It does a great job of chronicling the amazing accomplishments of one of the best fighters in the world, but beyond that, it’s a lukewarm documentary that stays close to the surface.
  18. My Friend Dahmer
    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.
  19. Blade of the Immortal
    Takashi Miike’s blood-splattered and emotionally ripping Blade of the Immortal is a terrific samurai thriller.
  20. A Bad Moms Christmas
    The Bad Moms sequel suffers from an uneven script and the addition of too many new, superfluous characters.
  21. Suburbicon
    In its best moments, Suburbicon is the dark, truly funny examination of 1950s suburbia it wants to be. These moments, however, are all too rare and more often than not the story is just a flat Film Noir tale purporting to expose the evil that lurks all around us.
  22. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
    Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is Martin McDonagh’s most emotional and profound film to date.
  23. Jigsaw
    Jigsaw barely feels like a part of the Saw franchise. It has deathtraps, but takes no pleasure in presenting them. It ignores most of the ongoing storyline. If it wasn’t part of the official franchise it would play like a knockoff.
  24. Jungle
    Jungle eventually leads to an exciting survival story with an intense performance by Daniel Radcliffe and suspenseful scenes that might make you squirm. But it might not be worth the journey it takes to get there.
  25. Geostorm
    Geostorm is as dumb as you think, but more fun than you might expect.
  26. Amityville: The Awakening
    Amityville: The Awakening has a good cast, and, if viewed by a group of rowdy friends late at night, may certainly do its due diligence in periodically startling you for 87 minutes, but never manages to transcend its genre in any meaningful way.
  27. The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
    Noah Baumbach succeeds in The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) in fine fashion, delicately balancing serious issues with lighthearted moments – it is a movie that is equally adept at making the audience cry as it is with making them laugh.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A Silent Voice
    The film's brilliant pacing and expertly woven narrative deliver an empowering story that will stick with you long after the credits roll.

    Tokyo Ghoul
    Tokyo Ghoul’s live-action movie gets the basics of the series right but is ultimately a shallow version of its source material.
  30. Wonderstruck
    Wonderstruck is another emotional and visually gorgeous outing from director Todd Haynes.
