  1. The Little Things
    Although helmed by Washington’s visceral performance & nostalgia-addled slow-burn, The Little Things eventually falters due to its own clichéd tropes.
  2. Railway Children
    Ultimately, Railway Children struggles a bit in balancing its tone and grand ambitions. However, for those looking for a sweet story about the power of friendship and childlike willfulness, this movie just might win them over.
  3. White Bird
    Despite its flaws, the film has plenty of memorable, engaging moments thanks to strong characters and a story that feels true to history while offering some hope along the way.
  4. Knox Goes Away
    It isn’t the best in its genre, of course, but the commitment from Keaton, as actor and director, is more than enough for me to rally behind this film for another watch.
  5. Everything's Going to Be Great
    By reflecting the difficulties of life with the hope that comes from one's passion, this film does a great job at emphasizing how, even in the face of insurmountable adversity, passion can triumph over even the toughest of times.
  6. Empire of Light
    None of the film's themes blend together appropriately, even when one may suspect a great film will break through.
  7. Silent Night
    Silent Night winks at us as often as it tries for genuine drama, and whichever tone you choose to accept will likely determine whether you have as much fun with it as I did.
  8. Creation Stories
    All in all, Creation Stories is by no means a loss, it's just missing that special ingredient that would transform it into a film worth being excited about. Instead, it could have simply been a spirited documentary narrated by Bremner.
  9. Munich: The Edge of War
    Munich: The Edge of War is a well-made period piece able to stage necessary tension despite its real-life story being so well-known.
  10. The Beekeeper
    The Beekeeper is an engaging ride, and once the action starts it never lets up.
  11. It Ends with Us
    For a story centered on childhood trauma, domestic violence, and the cycle of abuse, these themes feel like afterthoughts when they could have been its strength. It’s certainly lacking, but hearts were in the right place.
  12. Prisoners of the Ghostland
    Hate it or love it, Prisoners of the Ghostland is as unforgettable as it is expressive and provocative, and isn't that the fundamental purpose of art?
  13. Aline
    The result is a baffling and confounding mess that is either intended to make audiences laugh or is dead-serious in its pursuit. Whatever the intention, it is up to viewers to decipher what is most true to them.
  14. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
    The return of Axel will satisfy fans of the franchise, and it might encourage those who are just tuning in to watch the original trilogy, if only to watch one of Murphy’s most significant roles from the 80s, a true golden era for the multi-hyphenate entertainer.
  15. Inside
    This movie won't be for everyone, but Dafoe enthusiasts will have to check out his go-for-broke depiction of a man at his wits' end. It keeps the movie exciting even when the pacing falters.
  16. Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gets bogged down in exposition and course-correcting The Last Jedi, but does have some fun moments and fan service.
  17. Night Patrol
    Co-writer/director Ryan Prows has assembled a star-studded cast, some of whom wonderfully elevate their potentially one-note characters into intriguing figures, and its base structure of corrupt cops being vampires is one rife for tackling the very real issues of police corruption in the world, yet the mix never quite comes together.
  18. The Mauritanian
    The Mauritanian is an incredibly powerful, poignant, enraging film, one that is uplifted by an incredibly magnetic lead performance by Tahar Rahim.
  19. Trolls Band Together
    Trolls Band Together never lets the family adventure color outside the lines.
  20. American Dreamer
    While more could have been done to develop Dinklage and MacLaine's characters, or explore the outcome which comes in the film's sudden and succinct conclusion, American Dreamer does a tremendous job of exploring one man's American dream, the lengths he must go to achieve it, and what is waiting for him once he reaches that goal.
  21. The Forever Purge
    Filled with a lot of action, The Forever Purge is at times thrilling, but it remains at surface-level rather than delving further into its themes.
  22. Emancipation
    While Emancipation contains beautiful cinematography amidst brutalities of oppression, it conveys very little about the man who should easily inspire the world.
  23. We Broke Up
    While there's an attempt to convey a message about relationships, We Broke Up is more focused on awkward shenanigans than in exploring its characters.
  24. We Have a Ghost
    Landon's latest will be best remembered for its multiple laugh-out-loud set pieces, and with the craftsmanship and performances on display, viewers will likely be willing to forgive its less-impactful stretches.
  25. Lilo & Stitch
    Audiences want to be moved and given a reason to revisit the emotions sparked by the story, and Lilo & Stitch delivers.
  26. The Deb
    For all its flaws, The Deb is hilarious and entertaining. The music is infectious.
  27. The Dead Thing
    This is merely an example of misalignment when it comes to direction and script. Because while Kane’s vision is mostly clear, the execution of this particular script stumbles.
  28. Landscape with Invisible Hand
    It’s a fascinating story to balance, and though it doesn’t always work, Finley really runs with the concept and its various themes. It’s safe to say there’s never a dull moment in the film, and it isn’t predictable in terms of what comes next.
  29. Renfield
    Renfield is goofy, with fantastic action sequences and a few comedic beats that land, but it could have also been so much more.
  30. Sharp Stick
    Sharp Stick is charming thanks to great performances, but the lopsided script doesn’t reach its full potential.
