  1. Neon Lights
    The film is unsure if wants to be a portrait of a man on the verge, a slasher, or a psychological chamber piece, and it ultimately fails to live up to any of these ideas.
  2. The Sea Beast
    What makes it practically perfect is that it accomplishes everything it sets out to do. It is funny, exciting, beautiful, and all-around meaningful.
  3. Where the Crawdads Sing
    Where the Crawdads Sing stumbles a bit in its transition from page to screen, though it is aided by a great lead performance.
  4. Karmalink
    Though the performances are all very enjoyable, the dialogue pulls down the script. Despite this, however, Karmalink is unique, introspective, and beautifully imperfect.
  5. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris
    Led by a great Lesley Manville, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is a delightfully wholesome film and the very definition of a "feel good" story.
  6. The Road to Galena
    Fully engaging with the film, as one might be forced to do in a theatrical setting, will prove unrewarding — both intellectually and emotionally. But it's the kind of movie that's perfect for streaming while doing chores, or to turn on after a long day of work with the intention of putting one's brain on standby.
  7. Persuasion
    There are bound to be viewers less familiar with the source material who are enchanted by Persuasion. However, the modern touches are just too persistent to ignore, and they take away something that the movie urgently needed — genuine depth.
  8. Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between
    While the film is romantic and poignant in parts, the whole thing falls apart when it relies on the central couple, who lack intense chemistry and substance.
  9. Thor: Love and Thunder
    Thor: Love and Thunder is a return to form for the MCU: delivering a great solo story that is emotional, exciting, and downright funny as hell.
  10. The Forgiven
    Given some time to think on it later, viewers might have trouble pinning down what it actually had to say about all those thorny subjects it seemed to be about.
  11. Minions: The Rise of Gru
    While Minions: The Rise of Gru still can't entirely justify itself, it does provide a far more heartfelt and fun outing than its predecessor.
  12. Rise
    It is a solid sports biopic that aims to celebrate the cherished memories the Antetokounmpos have and their continued success as a united, happy, and prosperous family.
  13. Poser
    While it ultimately reveals everything too late, the film still feels fresh and, unlike plenty of what is released today (on podcasts and in theaters), actually does have something to say.
  14. The Black Phone
    The result is a beautifully shot and well-acted live-action short story, but one that's missing enough connective tissue, fresh ideas, and time spent between its characters to produce a lasting feature film experience.
  15. Apples
    An effective portrait of ambiguity accompanied by a stellar lead performance, Apples' contemplative nature hides nuanced questions about the modern age underneath its placid surface.
  16. The Man from Toronto
    Most of all, the movie reaffirms the fact that we still don’t have the iconic, big-budget Hart movie his career has been working towards.
  17. Elvis
    Elvis seems perfectly content being a glitzy, bejeweled extravaganza, even when the film’s nearly three-hour runtime leaves its energy — which never fully recovers after the first half — waning by the end.
  18. Cryo
    This low-budget sci-fi film is actually doing something quite clever, but by keeping it hidden until the final minutes, it leaves viewers with a character drama that just isn't compelling enough to merit revisiting, even after learning how all its pieces fit together.
  19. Flux Gourmet
    The film's comedy is the cherry on top of a disgusting meal one has to hear to believe.
  20. Rounding
    Despite a solid performance from the film’s lead and an interesting character arc, Rounding winds up getting a bit lost in all it’s trying to accomplish.
  21. My Fake Boyfriend
    There's something comforting about the way in which My Fake Boyfriend doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It's content living in its charming version of New York where everything works out in the end.
  22. Next Exit
    Elfman’s directorial feature debut has enough to hold it together, including a tremendous cast and character dynamics that are thoughtful, interesting, and complicated.
  23. Official Competition
    Bolstered by an incredible cast, the film offers commentary on filmmaking as an art and the lengths the characters will go to outshine each other.
  24. Abandoned
    Abandoned has a few things in its favor, but the disappointing conclusion obscures them while making the movie's flaws even more prominent, which ultimately makes it difficult to recommend.
  25. Brian and Charles
    Brian and Charles is a soothing, lighthearted, and warm story about friendship and connection that is strengthened by its titular characters.
  26. Nude Tuesday
    Nude Tuesday is incredibly entertaining and, though the central premise starts to wane after a while, the story picks back up as it nears its end.
  27. The Good Neighbor
    The Good Neighbor struggles with convenient plot points and inconsistent characterization, yet is still a thrilling ride thanks to its menacing lead.
  28. Father of the Bride
    The talent is abundant on screen and behind the camera, but a flimsy screenplay fails them all.
  29. Lightyear
    Lightyear is a clever expansion of Pixar's beloved Toy Story franchise - packed with fun moments, warm sentiment, and downright gorgeous animation.
  30. Spiderhead
    It may not do anything particularly innovative from either a storytelling or filmmaking perspective, but Spiderhead is proof there's still material to be mined from well-known ground when talented people are bringing the narrative to life.
