  1. The Miracle Club
    The themes in The Miracle Club may be as old as time, but it beautifully celebrates the idea that friendship and compassion can be healing.
  2. Bullet Train
    Ultimately, Bullet Train is one of the most entertaining and flashy films of 2022, thanks to lively performances, incredible fight setups, stylish cinematography, and punchy writing.
  3. Y2K
    The first half is wildly fun, especially as it puts characters in the uncomfortable position of being at a party that goes awry shortly after the countdown. But what starts off as a quirky teen comedy with hints of sci-fi catastrophe turns into a messy romp that loses its intrigue.
  4. Daniela Forever
    Because of some questionable decisions, the film's key messages aren’t as effective as they could be.
  5. Amsterdam
    At times fun and well-made, Amsterdam's meandering plot and thinly-drawn characters bog down what could've been a zippy story of crime and friendship.
  6. Downhill
    Far from being a full-blown disaster, Downhill is a middle of the road comedy-drama that would've benefitted from a more incisive technique and a little extra faith in its audience's ability to grasp the subtleties of its story.
  7. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2
    Being halfway between film and TV gives it the weaknesses of both and strengths of neither; trying to straddle the real with the mythic gives us characters that mostly feel too representative to connect with as individuals, and too individual to make compelling representatives.
  8. Reminders of Him
    Unfortunately, Reminders of Him isn't a very good film, at least in the traditional sense. But, like Regretting You, there's a certain level of lizard brain enjoyment that transcends much of the film's flaws and allows for all the soapy, melodramatic elements to be enjoyed at their own level.
  9. Last Looks
    Crucially, Last Looks' groovy tone allows the viewer to simultaneously try and crack the case while never having to overly invest in the plot.
  10. How to Make a Killing
    A surprisingly bland film that somehow manages to dampen even Glen Powell's usual brand of effortless charm, How to Make a Killing is sketched together with thin characterizations, limp commentary and a sluggish pace.
  11. Look Both Ways
    Though leading lady Lili Reinhart does her best, Look Both Ways struggles to make a lasting impact with either of its dueling timelines.
  12. Single All the Way
    With an underlying theme of love and acceptance, Single All The Way blossoms into a funny, delightful, and heartwarming romcom gift for all.
  13. Godmothered
    Godmothered is a campy and heartfelt family-friendly Christmas flick, but ends up feeling like an adult rom-com shoehorned into a kids movie.
  14. Venom: Let There Be Carnage
    Venom: Let There Be Carnage delivers some more of what works - Eddie and Venom's dynamic - though everything around them remains quite messy.
  15. 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.
  16. Greenland 2: Migration
    Greenland 2 manages to put itself in a league of its own, proving that, not only can disaster movies avoid being totally nonsensical, but also, there can be something that comes after—and that exploration of what's next can be just as good as what came before.
  17. The Front Room
    It's ultimately Hunter and Brandy's performances that keep The Front Room from feeling like a complete missed opportunity and an occasionally engaging watch.
  18. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
    Costner and company know the importance of visual and sonic storytelling. In this film, the score, landscapes, and set pieces guide the stories along when the dialogue is limited, helping us to connect to the overall experience emotionally.
  19. 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.
  20. The Instigators
    The Instigators is proof it can be very difficult to balance action, comedy and drama and nail a tone that fits the movie while still staying true to the genres. That said, the movie does have enough comedy, and a strong enough duo with Damon and Affleck, that it's still entertaining and fun to watch.
  21. TRON: Ares
    The movie possesses reams of intriguing ideas, but instead reheats much of Legacy's plot and then busies itself with semi-incomprehensible set pieces.
  22. Downtown Owl
    The characters have a myriad of flaws and plights that would have made them compelling, but the film fails to explore them beyond the surface.
  23. Mothers' Instinct
    Mothers' Instinct is a compelling thriller that elevates Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain to incredible heights. The film is a tense and terrifying story of love, loss, and deception that sees people pushed to their limits.
  24. 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.
  25. Dashcam
    Audiences are left with a puzzling mosaic of jump scares, one-note characters, and schlocky gore that will certainly disturb but won't leave much impact beyond its slim runtime.
  26. Jeanne du Barry
    Jeanne du Barry is a beautiful story, but lacks emphasis or innovation, which is essential in a period drama's success.
  27. Underwater
    Altogether Underwater is a middling movie that spans multiple genres, from sci-fi and thriller to action and horror, and can't seem to focus on any specific one.
  28. Rumble
    Weighed down by its inability to fully commit to a story about fathers and lacking a fighting spirit, Rumble is far from being a must-see animation.
  29. The Independent
    At the heart of this plausible political thriller is a need for more insightful and incisive writing. The Independent often shows audiences what they already know about American politics, but it doesn’t tell one more.
  30. Manodrome
    Manodrome lacks depth as either social commentary or character study, in large part because of how it positions us in relation to its protagonist's perspective.
