  1. The Monkey
    It’s still a serviceable film, and you’re in for a wild and weird ride. Even its message, while nihilistic, has merit. I only wish The Monkey had a more balanced story to counteract its weaker elements.
  2. A Million Miles Away
    A Million Miles Away is genuine in the way it presents its story, and the struggle Hernández endures, but it’s also so laser-focused on his space goals that it forgets to explore his inner life.
  3. Eric Larue
    Shannon and Neveu’s compassionate display of understanding different perspectives when it comes to something as tragic as a school shooting is simply beautiful storytelling.
  4. Words on Bathroom Walls
    Words on Bathroom Walls deftly balances being part romcom and part mental illness drama, offering a uniquely compelling coming-of-age story.
  5. How to Train Your Dragon
    The How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake is a fantastic movie, not just emulating the animated original, but elevating it, all while also delivering an exciting summer blockbuster poised to thrill
  6. We Bury the Dead
    Though the movie goes by way of Shaun of the Dead and refuses to ever use the z-word, there's no denying that We Bury the Dead is a zombie movie, even if a more scaled-down one than some might come to expect.
  7. Copshop
    Copshop won't be for everyone, but those looking for some old-fashioned gun-slinging hijinks will get some enjoyment out of it.
  8. Rosaline
    Those who prefer their period pieces to be more traditional will find this blasphemous, but those willing to imagine a 16th century Verona with updated characters will get a kick out of Rosaline's antics.
  9. Good Fortune
    Ansari has brought his familiar comedic charm to a solid, original story, and the end result is an all-around good time.
  10. Land
    In Land, actress Robin Wright’s directorial debut, the sad, isolated feelings that come with bereavement saturate the story, but the film has surprisingly very little to say about grief.
  11. Horse Girl
    Ultimately, Horse Girl is a tricky film to unpack. On one hand, it's fine that it doesn't provide easy answers for the questions it poses, but even dedicated cinephiles may find Horse Girl abstruse and challenging to a fault.
  12. In Your Dreams
    Comedically, the film also falters . . . Nor is there much that is distinctive about the animation style.
  13. Unpregnant
    Unpregnant delivers a fun and entertaining road trip comedy about female friendship and abortion, with compelling performances from its two leads.
  14. Song Sung Blue
    Ignore the publicity bluster, and you'll find at the core of Song Sung Blue the same modest dream to entertain that drives the Sardinas. Is it one of the best films of the year? Certainly not. But a good time at the movies? You betcha.
  15. Dreams
    Despite a series of beautiful gowns worn by Chastain, the film doesn't offer much intrigue nor sociopolitical interest, instead reducing itself to the lowest common denominator by the time it reaches its exceedingly cruel ending.
  16. PVT Chat
    Visceral and uncompromising in its vision, PVT Chat etches a gritty portrait of eroticism in the digital age with great nuance and authenticity.
  17. Avatar: Fire and Ash
    Thrilling and sumptuous, James Cameron’s latest chapter in this ongoing saga is probably the best one to date, with painstaking world-building, sweeping action and stunning imagery. It also feels too often like a remake of its predecessor, with characters, conflicts and plot developments that even the most devoted fans may find repetitive.
  18. The Uninvited
    The dialogue-driven movie is genuinely funny and heartfelt, rarely, if ever, losing its momentum from start to finish. Conners is a confident director, bringing together a story that is personal while touching upon issues women face as they age with grace and care.
  19. Somewhere in Queens
    Somewhere in Queens is ultimately a well-made family drama with laughs sparsely placed throughout. The cast is crushing it and the script is as gritty as it is sweet. Romano’s direction works well, and every department is on the same page.
  20. Heart Eyes
    All in all, Heart Eyes is a fine horror movie. It has a fun and unique idea, and the first act of the movie is very strong, but Heart Eyes loses its way and culminates in a middling-to-bad third act that squanders all the potential of the premise and beginning.
  21. Babylon
    The gorgeous cinematography and costumes can’t make up for its emptiness — both in what it’s trying to say and in the way it’s trying to say it.
  22. Skincare
    The overarching problem is the film's tendency to be a touch too shallow, even if that's the point of the narrative. Finding out more about Hope's hidden past, the supporting characters, and the big lives everyone hints at would have made the story more compelling and helped the characters feel real.
  23. The Bluff
    The Bluff is a rollicking throwback to the swashbuckling action of old. It is brutal and inventive enough to wash over its derivative narrative.
  24. Suncoast
    Suncoast is a strong feature debut from Chinn. It’s heartfelt and filled with warmth and messy emotions that are deeply felt.
  25. Peter Pan & Wendy
    Director David Lowery (Pete's Dragon) brings a more mature sensibility to the tale of a boy who never wants to grow up, and it ultimately yields some mixed results. While Peter Pan & Wendy is strangely lacking some magic, it is saved by a scene-stealing Jude Law and a narrative that forces one to reckon with Peter's more negative traits.
  26. Drift
    The feature doesn’t dig any deeper than it has to, leaving us drifting along with Jacqueline without anything to latch onto to keep us afloat.
  27. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things
    While the film could have spent more time specifically exploring Margaret’s life, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is a thoughtful, charming, and heartwarming film that utilizes the time loop aspects to great effect.
  28. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie
    All one can hope to get is a colorful and exciting adventure that allows the characters’ personalities to shine. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie succeeds in that regard.
  29. The Last Rodeo
    When all is said and done, the movie manages to juggle several moving parts with incredible graceful balance.
  30. The Karate Kid
    Macchio and Morita not only deliver outstanding individual performances, but also show a remarkable chemistry with one another, and Martin Kove's performance as Kreese remains an effectively chilling foil to the film's leads.
