  1. Bob Trevino Likes It
    Any dramatic convenience can be forgiven as the platonic chemistry between Ferreira and Leguizamo feels natural, empathetic and genuine. And as they both begin to let down their guards, it’s a pleasure to watch them; so much so, in fact, that it doesn’t really matter that the characters in their orbit are far less vividly sketched.
  2. The Show
    Exuberant as it is, The Show treats its basic premise earnestly enough not to come across as merely spoofy. And there’s some considerable wit in the script.
  3. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    For all the punches thrown and buildings pulverised, The New Empire barely leaves an impact.
  4. Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person
    Ariane Louis-Seize’s debut feature plays like a coming-of-age genre mash-up, and features a tortured blood-sucker protagonist reminiscent of Only Lovers Left Alive, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night or even The Hunger, although it is narratively and stylistically striking enough to make its own impact.
  5. Altered Minds
    It heads into strange and violent territory but is never overly comfortable there – it is always intriguing and defiantly left-field.
  6. Terrestrial Verses
    While there is no doubting the filmmakers’ admirably humanistic and progressive intentions, however, the picture itself somehow ends up less than the sum of its often-impressive parts.
  7. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
    The clumsy mixture of nostalgia, scares, set pieces, sincerity and wisecracks never gels.
  8. Timestalker
    Taking pleasure in subverting romcom tropes and boasting a satisfying attention to detail, Timestalker is a showcase for Lowe’s considerable talents on both sides of the camera.
  9. Magpie
    This is a wonderfully messy genre flick that takes pleasure in offering the kind of startling revelations mixed with sharp barbs that will make many clap deliriously while leaving some wanting more answers.
  10. Grand Theft Hamlet
    The questing duo has trusted ‘GTA’ and its trigger-happy denizens: they just need to trust the audience a little bit more that this new world can be enjoyed without the same old beats.
  11. Civil War
    Even for Garland’s adept visual storytelling, supported by daring cuts by Jake Roberts and offbeat needledrops, the core of Civil War feels hollow.
  12. The Roundup: Punishment
    It’s a robustly entertaining romp.
  13. Copa 71
    Copa 71 may have a packaged air to it, but the story speaks – loudly – for itself.
  14. Much Ado About Dying
    In its refreshingly frank look at the end of life, Much Ado About Dying becomes a thought-provoking study of what it means to live.
  15. Arcadian
    While Arcadian is far from being a new modern horror masterpiece, it makes for a satisfying B-movie romp.
  16. Immaculate
    Despite the tantalising set up, Immaculate is a dull, predictable affair, composed of far too many inconsequential jump scares in lieu of sturdy storytelling.
  17. Arthur the King
    Rather than truly being inspiring or moving, Arthur The King manipulates and frustrates. Adventure racers may be encouraged to forge their own path, but this film is far from trailblazing.
  18. The Fall Guy
    The Fall Guy is at its best when it captures the frenzied energy, the multiplicity of artisans, and the devoted precision necessary to bring a scene together.
  19. Monkey Man
    As a star, Patel has rarely been better. And as a director, he grants an intoxicatingly gruesome vision of the kind of gritty vehicles he could steer in the future.
  20. Y2K
    This is a nostalgia play composed of admittedly funny and gnarly moments that do not string together into a satisfying whole.
  21. Silver Haze
    Throughout it all, Knight is a compelling and fiercely persuasive performer.
  22. Kung Fu Panda 4
    Between the strained punchlines and the unsurprising plot twists, the picture feels obligatory rather than inspired.
  23. At Averroès & Rosa Parks
    At Averroès & Rosa Parks, which premiered in Berlinale Special, is a tougher watch than its predecessor, but an extremely accomplished and compelling work.
  24. Pepe
    It’s a wildly original work from De Los Santos Arias, a film with a gleefully wanton approach to form, style and story in which no directorial decision is predictable, and, despite a slightly overstretched running time, no moment is ever dull.
  25. The Empire
    It is hard to decide whether Dumont is treating his genre borrowings with belittling contempt, or getting a kick out of the possibilities offered; it seems safe to assume both. And while the overall weirdness has charm and shock effect, once you’ve got over the surprise of Dumont being this flippantly outre the pleasure wears thin.
  26. A Traveler's Needs
    The newness is subtle and gently perplexing, but very satisfying indeed.
  27. No Other Land
    A documentary that is particularly urgent and eye-opening in the context of the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
  28. Crossing
    It’s seductive, fragmented, involving.
  29. Black Tea
    The film’s eclectic ambitions and increasingly eccentric construction get the better of it, resulting in a very uneven brew.
  30. Dahomey
    [An] agile, cerebral film.
