  1. The Shape of Water
    Ultimately, this is a film from a group of terrific talents that never quite comes together the way you'd hope. It's just too fluid to wholly take shape.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    B. Monkey
    That insinuating, sublime atmosphere is consistently being intruded upon by the distractingly silly plot.
    • New York Post
  3. Outside Providence
    Peter Farrelly is angry at Miramax for marketing his and his brother Bobby's new film as a follow-up to their surprise smash hit, "There's Something About Mary."
  4. Teeth
    An anti-date movie if there ever was one, Teeth is a darkly engaging if uneven horror movie spoof centering on men's fear of castration.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Humanité
    Maddeningly pretentious and often slow to the point of tedium, Humanite is also hauntingly original and truly strange.
  6. Finding Fela!
    Though the filmmaking is not terribly exciting, Fela’s life and music are.
  7. Take Shelter
    It would be possible to appreciate Shannon's fabulous work in Take Shelter far better if the filmmaker lost a quarter of the two-hour running time -- there are many overlong scenes that make this a needlessly tough sit.
  8. In This World
    Winterbottom's bold film, its gritty visuals offset by Dario Marianelli's lavish score, makes real the desperate lengths that refugees -- those running from poverty as well as dange -- will go to.
  9. People Say I'm Crazy
    Cadigan is honest enough to leave in a disturbing scene in which he talks about the "violent imagery" in his head and fantasizes about using a kitchen knife on his mother, before breaking down in tears. It's raw stuff.
  10. Notorious C.H.O.
    If you like your language blue and your humor coarse, Margaret Cho is for you.
  11. A Good Year
    May not be vintage stuff, but it goes down fairly smoothly.
  12. The Man Who Copied
    An unassuming love comedy with plot problems.
  13. Kicking & Screaming
    R0bert Duvall as a pee wee soccer coach? Great idea, but Kicking and Screaming should have had him roar, "I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning."
  14. The Dying Gaul
    The heavily symbolic The Dying Gaul doubtless worked better as a play, but the film is worth seeing for its peerless cast.
  15. Grateful Dawg
    Though there are moderately interesting interviews interspersed throughout, Deadheads will want to see the numbers, in which Grisman's more formal style complements Garcia's looser approach to his music.
  16. Killer Elite
    A snarly Euro-thriller with crust under its fingernails and bad breath. It doesn't care if you like it, which is why I kind of do.
  17. Margaret
    For a 90-minute movie, Margaret has a thin story. So it's unfortunate that it runs 2 1/2 hours.
  18. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
    The shamelessness with which Star Wars: The Force Awakens replays the franchise’s greatest hits is startling. To put it another way, it’s a satisfying meal — but it’s $200 million worth of leftovers.
  19. California Solo
    Carlyle gives a quietly engaging performance as a Golden State farmworker with a secret in the likable indie California Solo.
  20. Santitos
    The premise is so sad it's impossible to chuckle at the often heavy-handed humor.
  21. Unveiled
    Tabatabai delivers a strong performance and the script, although not always plausible, touches on important issues like bias against gays and Muslims.
  22. Fruitvale Station
    The film, then, places a heavy hand on the scales of justice as it winds up with a fuzzy plea — an implied demand for a second, federal civil rights trial for the cop, who got a light sentence. But the shooting wasn’t a racist one.
  23. Dolphin Tale
    A reasonably uplifting kids movie if you don't think about it too much. I get paid to think about things too much, and effective as the movie is, it nevertheless left me slightly put off.
  24. Otelo Burning
    Somehow, mostly through the impassioned performances of its young actors, the film finds its footing in the third act, as the narration goes quiet and tragedy unfolds with precision, even elegance.
  25. 11 Flowers
    11 Flowers boils down to a coming-of-age tale merged with a why-dunit — not unlike “To Kill a Mockingbird” — but the plot is molasses-slow, as threads are dropped, picked up and dropped again.
  26. Walking Tall
    Exciting stuff in its primitive, predictable way.
  27. Celeste and Jesse Forever
    It may have the faintest relationship to any kind of reality, but Jones' tart performance cuts through the saccharine.
  28. Secretariat
    Secretariat ultimately delivers where it matters, in the home stretch.
  29. Barbershop 2: Back in Business
    A calculating crowd-pleaser that sometimes feels like a movie equivalent of the corporate chains it's decrying.
  30. The Secret Lives of Dentists
    Lacking a solid narrative beyond the worsening marital crisis, this humor-flecked domestic drama ends up relying heavily on directorial tricks such as splashes of magic realism, giving it a self-satisfied air that quickly becomes grating.
