  1. The People We Hate at the Wedding
    Those looking for a heartfelt tale of family and love might find this one misses the mark, but other viewers willing to go along for the ride could find themselves grinning by the credits. The People We Hate at the Wedding will likely be somewhat divisive, and that makes it a rather intriguing movie in the end.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Honey Bunch
    It's to the actors' credit that it works when it does, and what it ultimately posits about marriage is as grossly haunting as it is disturbingly poetic.
  5. Next Goal Wins
    It’s goofy and relies heavily on common tropes, failing to offer insight into the players as people outside their team.
  6. A Quiet Place Part II
    A Quiet Place Part II feels hollow where it could have brilliantly captured the nuances of the characters and their journey. The sequel provides some new information, but doesn’t do the work to deepen the story.
  7. The Takedown
    It does not reinvent the wheel, but it engages viewers on a visual and cerebral level. There is a precarious balance between the heavy themes of the script and the upbeat nature of this Bad Boys-esque action film, but somehow it sticks the landing.
  8. Heart Eyes
    All in all, Heart Eyes is a fine horror movie. It has a fun and unique idea, and the first act of the movie is very strong, but Heart Eyes loses its way and culminates in a middling-to-bad third act that squanders all the potential of the premise and beginning.
  9. Me Time
    Me Time may not be a groundbreaking entry into Netflix’s catalog, but it offers reliable laughs for anyone needing an escape from their own hectic reality.
  10. Blitz
    While Blitz may not be transformative, it isn’t all bad. McQueen is a capable director who deftly moves between different points in time, offering a glimpse into Rita and George’s life before and during the war.
  11. Nothing
    While the drama can be a tense watch, there is something missing in its execution to make it a riveting, suspenseful watch.
  12. Operation Mincemeat
    Operation Mincemeat is a solid movie, the only reasonable reactions to which are mild. A small smile and a nod of approval on one end of the spectrum, a tilt of the head and a dismissive shrug on the other.
  13. Don't Tell Larry
    Don't Tell Larry is a dark comedy that tries hard to deliver a unique brand of comedy, only to fall short in the storytelling.
  14. Ash
    Ash can be horrific and genuinely startling; there’s a specific scene near the end that underscores the apprehension that permeates the film. It’s chilling and memorable. And yet, had the sci-fi thriller given its characters more dimension, it would have been all the stronger.
  15. The Carpenter's Son
    Heretical or not, it's a captivating story, even when it seems predicated solely on vibes. It's a shame, then, that the film is not as accessible as Jupe is as an actor. The first two acts move like molasses, brimming with allegory that never quite translates off the page.
  16. Fistful of Vengeance
    The best action sequence comes at the end, which bolsters the film's best use of camera movement and editing to highlight the fight choreography.
  17. La Dolce Villa
    La Dolce Villa is a feel-good film that forgoes proper tension-building for a more headache-free delivery. The result is a mixed bag that I enjoyed occasionally, though its inability to spark a greater emotional reaction is the film’s greatest weakness.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Control Freak
    To make it really gel, the film needed to have a stellar performance at its core. For me, Tran fell short.
  19. My Fault: London
    There aren't any surprises, and all that we are left with is a little bit of satisfaction and underlying curiosity as to why this movie was worth investing in.
  20. Sissy
    Sissy sacrifices its themes for violence and surface-level explorations of psychological realism, making it as frustrating as it is compulsively fun.
  21. Joker
    At the end of the day, Joker comes off as Scorsese-lite in the same way that Phillips' last movie, War Dogs, did - albeit, with great acting from Phoenix to elevate it, but also a sense of self-seriousness that borders on self-parody and pretentiousness that War Dogs did not have.
  22. Snow White
    Disney's Snow White is hardly a misfire, with Rachel Zegler shining as the titular princess, but it can't avoid familiar live-action remake problems.
  23. Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
    Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken's story could've used a more well-rounded approach, but the strength of its cast and character dynamics make for a solidly entertaining watch.
  24. Fresh
    All told, Fresh has a lot of potential even though it doesn’t fully deliver. Cave makes a case for herself in a directorial debut that is ambitious, even when all the pieces don’t seamlessly fit together.
  25. Black Adam
    Though suffering from repetitive plot beats and thin characters, Black Adam is powered by Johnson's performance and its promise of an exciting future.
  26. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
    There are a few bright spots in Rise of the Beasts, but these are largely overshadowed by a lot of generic parts that would not be out of place in any of the previous six Transformers movies.
  27. Exit Plan
    Even with a nuanced performance from Coster-Waldau and beautiful cinematography, Exit Plan is a slow-burn drama that fizzles out in the end.
  28. The Kill Room
    Despite the lack of kinetic energy and well-developed characters, the movie offers a rather humorous take on the art world and its criminal underbelly with characters that are enjoyable to watch.
  29. 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.
  30. The Royal Treatment
    The Royal Treatment is ultimately benign fun. It is sweet, simple, and boring.
