  1. Fingernails
    Keeping us close to the film's talented cast is a decided strength of this, and the performances add nuance to a largely straightforward viewing experience. But it's hard not to wish Fingernails had grander designs. It shows just enough of its full potential to leave us wanting to see those ideas expressed more fully.
  2. The Marsh King's Daughter
    The performances elevate a story that could have gone deeper, but is fine for what it’s trying to be.
  3. What Happens Later
    What Happens Later isn't without some hiccups in its execution, but with Ryan at the helm, it's impossible not to feel charmed.
  4. Exposure
    It's a fascinating and sympathetic look at the anxiety that can arise and the ways OCD can affect a person's relationships with those they love most.
  5. Desperation Road
    Desperation Road glimmers with moments of beautiful clarity, but the big picture it paints doesn't live up to the promise of its individual strokes.
  6. The Persian Version
    The strength of The Persian Version lies in the impressions and feelings that it leaves behind, and the empowering portrait it paints of three generations of Iranian women.
  7. Old Dads
    It isn’t the worst directorial debut by any means of the phrase, but Burr’s raunchy comedy fails to say something meaningful. Instead, it underwhelms.
  8. Butcher's Crossing
    Though the script is not spectacular it has its moments and a realistic tension that cannot be ignored.
  9. Dicks: The Musical
    Dicks: The Musical is simply doing too much, and not enough of it is good to justify its runtime. It’s neither clever nor funny, save for the couple of jokes that actually land, and it’s too smarmy for its own good.
  10. Dream Scenario
    Dream Scenario is at its best when it’s centering Paul and his inner world, and how his actions and events affect his family.
  11. All of Us Strangers
    With a moving performance by Andrew Scott, the fantasy drama is compelling and captivating as it tackles grief, loneliness, and all that is lost to trauma and the inability to move on past loss.
  12. Nyad
    It strips Nyad of her complexities for something a bit too formulaic.
  13. Saltburn
    The film and its character dynamics are intoxicating and wildly enjoyable, almost uncomfortably so due to the nature of their entanglements. If it had been less concerned with its twists, Saltburn could have been immaculate.
  14. Shayda
    Niasari carefully and assuredly handles an intense and emotional story with ease and vulnerability. With her work on Shayda, Niasari is a filmmaker whose work we should keep an eye out for.
  15. Five Nights at Freddy's
    As far as middling entertainment goes, Five Nights at Freddy’s fits the bill.
  16. The Teachers' Lounge
    It’s an exemplary film that strikes an emotional and thoughtful chord.
  17. Decibel
    Though Decibel boasts loud explosions and a stressful race against the clock, its secret weapon lies in Lee Jong-suk & Cha Eun-woo's emotional scenes.
  18. Killers of the Flower Moon
    Killers of the Flower Moon is immeasurably captivating and compelling; it’s chilling and emotional, and I doubt anyone will walk away from the film — especially considering the way its ending is set up — without feeling moved by what they’ve just witnessed.
  19. Maestro
    This is not a biopic of an artist so much as a human artwork, capturing the many questions he provokes and the contradictory answers that define him.
  20. Foe
    Despite Foe’s shortcomings, it has plenty of heart and something to say. Its visuals are magnetic and Ronan and Mescal give their all in gripping, emotional performances.
  21. Divinity
    There are a few lingering plot lines in need of more attention, but overall everything put to the screen makes up for any of Divinity's shortcomings.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blue Giant
    The anime film Blue Giant is a jazzy tribute to aspiring young musicians, offering a glimpse into the world of music in a stunningly visual way. Starring relatable characters with a solid bond of friendship, Blue Giant hits a lot of the right notes to get an interesting story while keeping the music center stage.
  23. Miranda's Victim
    Ultimately, this story, likely unfamiliar to the masses, conveys the hidden history behind Miranda Rights with conviction and great storytelling.
  24. Totally Killer
    Totally Killer has its flaws, but it also has a distinct flair and charm. The film’s comedy is self-aware and witty, even if not all the comedic elements work, and there’s a love of the 80s that isn’t overshadowed by attempts to emulate it without question.
  25. Origin
    I do not regret having seen it, and with all there is to recommend it, I feel comfortable suggesting you seek it out upon release. But do so with tempered expectations.
  26. The Killer
    It's a journey as much defined by tedium as tension, but to paraphrase the assassin, if you can't handle a little boredom, this might not be the film for you.
  27. Pet Sematary: Bloodlines
    Memorable? Hardly. Entertaining? Somewhat. Ultimately, the film will resonate with the people eager to devour more Stephen King-inspired projects; sadly, there is nothing genuinely inspired to enjoy.
  28. Hit Man
    Savor Hit Man, however you come across it - it's not every day the movies entertain us in this way at this level of execution anymore.
  29. The Exorcist: Believer
    In some ways, The Exorcist: Believer feels tame when it comes to the full potential of its premise.
  30. Spy Kids: Armageddon
    Spy Kids: Armageddon is creatively deficient. With each new Spy Kids project, Rodriguez mines an empty cave; there is nothing but dirt and hopeless dreams.
