  1. Even if it can't quite sustain the highs it reaches early on, On the Count of Three's success relative to its ambition is truly impressive, and those who aren't turned off by its very premise won't regret seeking it out.
  2. From its compelling topic choice, a star-making lead role, stellar ensemble cast, and crafty execution, Música is a must-see.
  3. It's the kind of eccentric true story that seems tailor-made for a movie, and McAvoy brings it to life with plenty of high-spirited energy.
  4. Driven by the emotional drama that is constantly bubbling to the surface, the film handles the unsettling feelings of its characters and tension-building with ease, leaving the audience with a complex, compelling story.
  5. In some ways, the film's hollowness allows it to circle back upon itself and become a pure expression of adrenaline.
  6. Concrete Utopia is one of the best thrillers of the year.

    This may not be scary, but the effects are great, and the comedy really lands, too.
  7. If Sloan and Mastroianni made Gazer with only their limited resources and spark to create something new, it bodes well for the filmmakers' futures and whatever their next project will be.
  8. With an excellent ensemble cast and intense character dynamics, Knock at the Cabin is a high-stakes horror that delights in the doubt and confusion that arises.
  9. The film is so well put together, constructed with such warmth, that it does paper over its own indulgence.
  10. The result is a solid entry into the body horror genre.
  11. What makes Carolina Caroline so magical is the way it transcends its clichés to tell an engrossing story.
  12. Ultimately, the film is successful in having its cake and eating it too. It is both a tense political thriller and a crackling satire of drunken power. The comedy of the first two-thirds becomes the horror in the last, as these people’s willful ignorance of danger becomes terrifying in its potential repercussions.
  13. X
    While X could have dug a bit deeper into certain aspects of the story, the film’s twists, layered themes, and intriguing character dynamics blend together to make it one of the best horror films of the year so far.
  14. The Half of It puts a queer YA spin on a classic romance story, but Wu makes it her own - delivering a charming, sweet and altogether heartfelt movie.
  15. Companion wants to surprise you, but has no real interest in trying to outsmart you.
  16. Audiences may not have much of an appetite after watching the film, but the experience, like Slowik’s promise to his own guests, will be one they won’t soon forget.
  17. A Haunting in Venice is standard Hercule Poirot mystery fare that is given a boost thanks to the stunning visuals and supernatural happenings.
  18. For those with even a general interest in gaming and looking for a charming twist on the theater industry, Grand Theft Hamlet is still worth a watch.

    Ralph Bates gives a phenomenal interpretation of Victor Frankenstein himself, but it's David Prowse's musclebound monster that steals the show. It jumps through a lot of the same hoops as the Universal version, but it does stand out compared to other interpretations.
  19. Palestine 36 is beautifully shot and researched, and peppered with historical touches.
    • 58 Metascore

    At its heart, it is Holt and Swindells’ performances that give the story its warmth and soul — qualities essential to any Christmas movie.
  20. Beau is Afraid will make one feel alongside its title character in a way few films do, and it's a torturous and glorious ride.
  21. It's one of Adams' best performances in a career full of them, messy and feral and unwiedly, just like Nightbitch itself.
  22. While the story leaves something to be desired, The Sparrow in the Chimney is a memorable family drama with plenty of layered symbolism that will keep you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
  23. It is the type of film that asks for a deeper engagement than it is willing to offer, but Hadžihalilović may just be pulling us into her conception of image-making as a process of self-actualization. If that is the case, the film does well to break from Andersen's tragic tale for something a bit more existential.
  24. With bi-erasure and transphobia both ballooning, I Wish You All The Best comes with a strong message of hope: that you, too, can be an awkward, flailing teen. That awkwardness is not exclusive to those who fit a traditional mold, and that we all deserve a chance to mess up.
  25. Gulner, who has five other writing credits but directs here for the first time, is a sturdy filmmaker with a solid feel for pace and tone. With The Beldham, she has crafted a clever piece of writing whose ending recontextualizes the whole film in a magnetic flash.
  26. Full of action sequences and an incredibly moving score to pair, this could be the kind of war drama that audiences have been missing. It’s heavy on the violence and anti-war messaging, and contains a beautiful story about survival, humanity, and doing the right thing even when there are countless obstacles in the way.
  27. I’m Still Here is an evocative, nuanced portrait of family and the lasting imprint of politics.
