  1. Mother Mary
    While Lowery's film is ripe for interpretation, and will no doubt be better received by those who enjoy that style of filmmaking, those wanting actual answers will find frustratingly little satisfaction. Mother Mary is, at heart, more about vibes and style than anything else.
  2. Work It
    Netflix's Work It is bogged down by its trite and wholly unoriginal underdog story, but its charismatic young leads help the movie limp to the end.
  3. Christy
    Rather than being a well-rounded look at Martin's life, Christy offers a shallow, unbalanced perspective. It's light on its feet in some parts and heavy-handed in others, and though Sweeney gives a strong performance, I can't help but feel like she deserved a better showcase for her talents.

    Wicked Little Letters
    As each diatribe utilizes ever-more inventive cursing, the movie increasingly feels like a missed opportunity.
  5. The High Note
    The High Note is an enjoyable, if not particularly inventive, rom-com that's more infatuated with the music industry than developing its romance.
  6. Eden
    The true story aspect will leave audiences wanting to dig deeper into the two disparate accounts, but even if they don’t, Howard’s Eden is a compulsory watch that does enough to satisfy.
  7. Moana 2
    The animation is still strong and the character beats are affecting, but the villain and his motivations stand in the film's way of true greatness.
  8. The Kill Room
    Despite the lack of kinetic energy and well-developed characters, the movie offers a rather humorous take on the art world and its criminal underbelly with characters that are enjoyable to watch.
  9. Our Son
    Evans and Porter deliver heartbreaking performances with the right amount of intensity, leaving a lasting impact.

    Borderline
    The cast of characters ping-ponging around Sofia's mansion and the surrounding neighborhood feel fresh and funny, the movie consistently delivers both thrills and laughs, and there is an absolutely delectable piano scene that I won't soon forget.
  11. The One and Only Ivan
    The One and Only Ivan has a good heart at the center of this mediocre animal tale, which never quite delivers on the requisite Disney magic.
  12. Young Werther
    The chemistry between Booth and Pill is a large part of what makes Young Werther work.
  13. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny doesn't quite match the highs that came before it, but with Ford's assured performance at its center, it's still an entertaining and nostalgic ride.
  14. Wicked: For Good
    Wicked: For Good does stumble at various points. The much-touted new songs by returning songwriter Stephen Schwartz are superfluous, and there's a laughably regrettable decision near the end involving Jeff Goldblum that only avoids disaster by being very brief. But all the same magic that powered the first film is still at work in this one.
  15. 7500
    Despite the clever setup for this (almost) single-setting B-movie, some half-baked plotting and unfortunate stereotyping keep 7500 grounded.
  16. There There
    There is a modest feeling to There There, and the emotional impact of its actual content might display the limits of this extreme methodology, but its (smartly brisk) runtime is hardly too steep a price to see a small movie explore such big questions with such clarity.
  17. Heads of State
    Without Cena and Elba’s committed and charming performances, as well as great supporting turns from Considine and Carla Gugino as Vice President Elizabeth Kirk, Heads of State wouldn’t be worth discussing
  18. The Book of Clarence
    The sincerity with which The Book of Clarence approaches its story, combined with its sheer boldness, will cement Samuel as a filmmaker who soars to unimaginable heights.
  19. The Gorge
    While The Gorge is (ironically) fairly shallow, it offers some strikingly designed genre thrills and is powered by two charismatic stars.
  20. The Incomer
    The Incomer is a sweet and charming adult fairy tale whose primary characteristic, a twee and cheeky sense of humor, is both its appeal and its achilles' heel.
  21. The Second Act
    A highly restrained examination of multiple topics, The Second Act is a film about everything and nothing all at once. Perhaps in line with Dupieux’s style, the surreal, dark humor and commentary produce a messy end product that overstays its welcome.
  22. Ezra
    Ezra is heartwarming and funny, but it just never quite manages to reach the level of profound insight that its story seems to strive for.
  23. Last Letter from Your Lover
    The Last Letter From Your Lover is a charming look at two love stories, and while it's hardly anything new, the film holds plenty of warmth.
  24. Dreamland
    Dreamland is a fairly straightforward crime saga that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is still enjoyable thanks to Robbie and its production values.
  25. Birds of Paradise
    Froseth and Silvers keep both of their complicated characters and the bond that lies between them grounded, mixing well with the sensual tone Smith has created. Those looking for a sexy, intriguing drama might be happy to call up Birds of Paradise for some nighttime viewing.
  26. Small Engine Repair
    While Small Engine Repair’s message is clear, it doesn’t completely take off and is fragmented in its pacing, with a twisted turn that doesn't land.
  27. India Sweets and Spices
    India Sweets and Spices has a lot of overall great ideas and themes, even if it doesn’t always rise up to the potential of its setup and story.
  28. 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.
  29. Antlers
    Despite being all over the place, Antlers can be gripping and potently disconcerting, with good character development making up for its pitfalls.
  30. Road House
    The script is mind-numbingly silly and, at times, doesn't try to elevate the remake meaningfully; it's really about engaging with the wild action and nothing else.
