  1. The Burial
    A satisfying David vs. Goliath tale of justice, The Burial is the type of film you’d watch for the history lesson, stay for the entertainment, and return to see a wonderful cast let loose in all the best ways imaginable.
  2. Pain Hustlers
    Ultimately, Pain Hustlers is a mixed bag of entertainment that opts for flashiness instead of focusing on the important elements of the story at hand — the people affected by the carelessness of others.
  3. Dumb Money
    Dumb Money is a crowd-pleasing story with great performances and a script that keeps it simple.
  4. American Fiction
    Perhaps one of the most provocative and strongest satires in recent memory, American Fiction contains wickedly smart writing, superb performances, and messaging so in-your-face that it could almost be easy to miss.
  5. Woman of the Hour
    While showing good potential overall, Kendrick’s directorial debut is hindered by tonal imbalances and poor editing.
  6. A Haunting in Venice
    A Haunting in Venice is standard Hercule Poirot mystery fare that is given a boost thanks to the stunning visuals and supernatural happenings.
  7. Bottoms
    Bottoms nearly has it all and even where it falls short, it is still far bolder than much of anything released by major studios in the last few years.
  8. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3
    The film is still very watchable, and it has a lot of heart that makes up for its overall lack of focus and certain emotional throughlines. But where cohesiveness and pacing are concerned, this sequel leaves a lot to be desired.
  9. Sitting in Bars with Cake
    An appropriate mix of levity and devastation, Sitting in Bars with Cake is a heartwarming journey about endless support, friendship, and appreciating life.
  10. Anatomy of a Fall
    Anatomy of a Fall is as addicting as any true-crime story, and as riveting as some of the best murder mysteries thanks to a team effort in front of and behind the camera.
  11. The Good Mother
    Though The Good Mother contains great talent like Hilary Swank and Olivia Cooke, the predictable formula holds it back from saying something meaningful.
  12. Perpetrator
    The script plays out like a mystery that keeps you guessing, but it also works against the film at points. Perpetrator has something important to say but just doesn’t know how to say it.
  13. Puppy Love
    Overall, Puppy Love is very dull. The movie has all the clichés at its disposal but can't make much of it. The writing is witless and dry, and the directing — by Nick Fabiano and Richard Alan Reid — equally so.
  14. The Hill
    Overall, The Hill is lacking many of the hallmarks one would expect from a sports movie, pushing aside major events in favor of returning to its religious messaging. This leads to some baffling choices in its character development and storytelling, and those in turn erase much of the tension and emotion from the movie.
  15. Retribution
    Retribution is comically familiar, yet that familiarity breeds a sense of comfort for the average movie watcher who wants something not too complicated or tedious.
  16. Vacation Friends 2
    Vacation Friends 2 doubles down on the dirty jokes of the original and delivers.
  17. You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!
    While Cohen’s latest doesn’t break any genre barriers, this coming-of-age story dissects and visualizes female friendships with grounded realism, welcoming us into its world while leaving room for us to picture ourselves in it.
  18. birth/rebirth
    Birth/Rebirth contains wonderful performances from Ireland and Reyes. But Moss’s directorial debut needs quite a bit more than stunning performances to leave a lasting impression.
  19. Aporia
    In Aporia, drama takes center stage and bells and whistles are few and far between. The production value is simple but effective, as are the performances. By the time the credits roll, Moshe’s film makes its point and, crucially, does not overstay its welcome.
  20. Blue Beetle
    While the movie excels in family dynamics and character development, the visual effects and portrayal of the Kord family as villains fall short. Nonetheless, Blue Beetle is a charming depiction of functional family bonds and a promising introduction to a live-action DC superhero.
  21. The Monkey King
    The heart of the problem is The Monkey King makes its central character, whose story has been told and retold for hundreds of years, uninteresting. Without that spine to hold it together, everything collapses.
  22. Jules
    It's a lighthearted, empathetic film that multiple generations of family can see together and all find something worth taking with them.
  23. Red White & Royal Blue
    While Red, White & Royal Blue is a little too light on laughs, its central romance follows the book closely enough that die-hard fans will be pleased and casual viewers will be able to find something to love.
  24. The Last Voyage of the Demeter
    The Last Voyage of the Demeter fails to deliver on its early promise of being a compelling horror experience. The focus on jump scares and a skeptic character detracts from the potential scares and fails to bring authenticity to the storytelling.
  25. Heart of Stone
    It's an entertaining movie that also serves as a great showcase for Gadot's action chops, but it might not linger long in the memories of viewers.
  26. The Beanie Bubble
    Every performance has something to offer and though the filmmaking is not very ambitious, it is well suited for the plot and tone. The Beanie Bubble isn’t fan service for lovers of the classic toy, but it is a refreshing take on the biopic.
  27. Dreamin' Wild
    The material is not lacking in thematic depth, but how the filmmakers choose to express these themes makes for an inconsistently engaging experience. Dreamin' Wild is sometimes too caught up in its own artfulness, and all that weighted form ends up trapping its ideas rather than giving them heft.
  28. Til Death Do Us Part
    What’s ultimately missing from Til Death Do Us Part is proper execution and a script that the actors can build upon.
  29. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
    The result is a fun, exciting animation that keeps us hooked throughout. Yes, there is the occasional lull in the story, but it doesn’t linger before picking back up with some new story turn or action sequence.
  30. Earth Mama
    Earth Mama is the kind of film that draws you in and keeps you hooked with its powerful storytelling and the layered intimacy within Nomore’s understated performance.
