  1. Shazam! Fury of the Gods
    Those willing to go along with Billy's patchy journey just might find themselves entertained by what this DC sequel has to offer.
  2. The Room Next Door
    The Spanish director's fingerprint is there, undoubtedly. But the movie feels strangely incomplete, as if made with one hand tied behind his back.
  3. The Phoenician Scheme
    For all The Phoenician Scheme's eccentric thrills, sardonic performances, and globe-trotting adventure, the film still feels limited in the grand scheme of things.
  4. A Man Called Otto
    A Man Called Otto aims to be a crowd-pleasing, heartwarming film, and, despite its many flaws and speed bumps, is a success on that front.
  5. Family Portrait
    While it does succeed in creating a bizarre atmosphere that captures plenty of simmering tension, it's trapped between being a proof-of-concept short film and a feature-length effort.
  6. The Northman
    While The Northman has a lot to offer and is quite beautiful and masterful in its execution, there is something missing. The film begins to meander a bit in the middle before getting back on track and the lack of additional character development — anything that would have given the film more depth — prevents The Northman from reaching its full potential.
  7. Hellraiser
    Though it risks a slip into fully formulaic territory at times, the new movie is building to a far more interesting endgame than it appears to be, in which all the fleshing out of Cenobite lore and mechanics actually amounts to something quite profound.
  8. 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.
  9. Plane
    Though it runs out of steam during its second act, Butler and company do everything they can to keep the energy going, closing out the film with a well-earned bang.
  10. American Star
    Everything in American Star hinges on McShane's intuitive performance that rejects the obvious and embraces ambiguity.
  11. Worth
    Had its story structure been stronger, Worth could have an Oscar contender. As it is, Worth is an interesting testament to a particularly harrowing period of time — one that, for many, still feels a little too raw.
  12. Jeanne du Barry
    Jeanne du Barry is a beautiful story, but lacks emphasis or innovation, which is essential in a period drama's success.
  13. Black Phone 2
    Black Phone 2 is still a solid horror film, with gory kills and exciting set pieces. But the question of why still lingers over the film, even as it delivers on its many promises.
  14. The Moogai
    The Moogai uses the monster and horror as tactics, but it's at its best when the story shows that it's bigger than these two elements.
  15. Bonjour Tristesse
    The setting and the drama of Bonjour Tristesse complement each other, but the finale is incongruous when the premise and the presentation seem to be on different terms. While the movie has a rich personality, it is moderately aimless and should have better established how it wanted to be different from the original.

    Trauma
    While the film has an excellent concept, its overuse of traumatic medical conditions, disorders, botched surgeries, and motherhood makes for a confusing plot that has too many moving parts to retain a cohesive story.
  17. It Is In Us All
    Nuanced yet ambiguous, and imbued with raw emotion and care, Campbell-Hughes crafts a worthwhile story that digs into the aftermath of a near-death experience.
  18. Luck
    Luck may not reinvent the wheel — at this point, what can? — but it does what films like this do best, bringing forth a message about family and perseverance with humor, heart, and a lot of magic.
  19. Old
    While Old is certainly a different kind of thriller, with plenty of elements that work to create a sense of tranquility and desperation in equal measure, it grows wearisome as it evades its deeper themes for the thrill of that final discovery.
  20. Stress Positions
    It's unclear if Stress Positions has arrived "too soon" but its proximity to the pandemic doesn't make it any less hysterical, even if it's hollow in other areas.
  21. Mixtape
    Mixtape feels familiar and new all at once thanks to its earnest story and central messages of family and grief that will touch viewers of all ages.
  22. My Best Part
    Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, My Best Part is a sweet exploration of the absurdities of life and a celebration of what's worth living for.
  23. Windfall
    A stumble in the third act derails the whole adventure, bringing the enjoyment to a screeching halt. However, with some foresight, Windfall could have been a sure-fire hit.
  24. Achoura
    Achoura is by no means a bad film — quite the opposite in fact. There is potential for Selhami’s career as a horror writer-director as his vision and ambition shine bright through his film.
  25. A Tourist's Guide to Love
    A Tourist's Guide to Love is not remarkable, but its simplicity and familiarity are comfortable and, most importantly, entertaining.
  26. 8-Bit Christmas
    8-Bit Christmas has a lot of heart, but the comedy struggles to stand out in a marketplace full of similar, established, holiday feature classics. Regardless, it offers enough of a unique spin on the genre to satisfy audiences — especially millennials.
  27. The Matrix Resurrections
    While it's heavily nostalgic, The Matrix Resurrections does have something to say about living in the past and the difficulties of moving forward.
  28. All of You
    The film has two major things going for it: Goldstein and Poots' casting and their characters' chemistry. The only thing that fully captures our attention from beginning to end is Laura and Simons’ undeniable spark and charming banter.
  29. Mother of the Bride
    Mother of the Bride's success rests on the filmmakers' abilities to not oversell anything and trust that the collective charisma of the assembled cast will do what it needs to do — and it does, though a flimsy script and one major miscast can be distracting.
  30. Synchronic
    Synchronic is an interesting, if standard, drama that gets by on the strength of Anthony Mackie's performance and a strong third act.
