  1. Kindred
    Kindred is packed with significant talent, but the slow pace and tedious script leaves the audience looking for the exit before the movie gets going.
  2. The Good Mother
    Though The Good Mother contains great talent like Hilary Swank and Olivia Cooke, the predictable formula holds it back from saying something meaningful.
  3. Empire of Light
    None of the film's themes blend together appropriately, even when one may suspect a great film will break through.
  4. The Garfield Movie
    At times, it feels as though The Garfield Movie is going through the motions, and it fails to offer anything particularly noteworthy about its main character.
  5. Thunder Force
    Its leading ladies are in fine form, as always, and they're backed by some lively performers. It's the story that struggles to come through, along with a reluctance to just let loose in every way possible.
  6. Babylon
    The gorgeous cinematography and costumes can’t make up for its emptiness — both in what it’s trying to say and in the way it’s trying to say it.
  7. Lord of Misrule
    Lord of Misrule feels like it was made with a lack of understanding of what actually works about its premise, and the result is a constant ebb-and-flow of being drawn in by the imagery and pushed back out by the storytelling.

    Most People Die on Sundays
    Even with a forgiving attitude, I could not help but get bored by the film in the first third (or more), as the characters take forever to get from point A to B. The lack of promised humor and David’s passivity also did not help things.
  9. Longing
    While Longing was aiming for poignancy, it unfortunately landed on preposterous.
  10. 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.
  11. Samaritan
    In the end, Samaritan commits a cardinal sin of the superhero genre: It thinks a high-profile actor with vaguely defined superpowers is enough to make the film interesting when it clearly needs something more.
  12. Rosario
    Rosario stretches the material of a really good short film into an underwhelming feature.
  13. After We Fell
    After We Fell is the pulpy, melodramatic and messy continuation of Tessa and Hardin's story that may appeal to diehard fans, but no one else.
  14. Alice
    Palmer is fantastic in a film that needed more depth and time for Alice to acclimate to her surroundings. Without that, it leaves Alice’s realism and emotional core lacking as it veers wildly into one-note chaos.
  15. Dreams
    Despite a series of beautiful gowns worn by Chastain, the film doesn't offer much intrigue nor sociopolitical interest, instead reducing itself to the lowest common denominator by the time it reaches its exceedingly cruel ending.
  16. High Heat
    The cast is not the problem, but the script certainly is. The actors are given too much to do and no time to do it. Golden has the right idea, but the execution fails the film's aspirations.
  17. Sympathy for the Devil
    Sympathy for the Devil is a missed opportunity with a collection of engaging moments, none sustained enough to really satisfy.
  18. Mercy
    The process of searching through all manner of cloud-based applications and information in a video-game-like manner is a tantalizing prospect, one just wishes it wasn't done for something so harebrained.
  19. Fear the Night
    The dynamics needed to be defined better, and despite some compelling filmmaking, the flagrant disregard for characterization reduces Fear The Night to a mildly tolerable home invasion horror.
  20. See How They Run
    Tom George returns to directing, attempting to take on the genre with humor and flair. Relying heavily on whodunit tropes, See How They Run is a little too stale and unfunny for its own good.
  21. The Kissing Booth 2
    The Kissing Booth 2 has some fun moments, especially for fans, but is ultimately an overwrought, overstuffed and overlong teen romcom sequel.
  22. Dual
    There are inklings of something more interesting and rich beneath the surface, but Dual never brings the pieces together.
  23. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
    Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a superficial spy mission that is joyless and charmless.

    Maboroshi
    All in all, Maboroshi is a complete and utter mess of a film. The art, animation, and music are all great, but the story has nothing interesting to say after its first half, and constantly switches between moving too fast and too slow.
  25. Him
    Tipping and his co-writers have a lot of great ideas and thought-provoking commentary about the way we treat athletes, but the lead-up to an admittedly explosive conclusion doesn’t land. Wayans and the score seem to be doing most of the tension-building. It’s a shame the rest of the film couldn’t rise to the same level.
  26. Exit 8
    It grows tedious because it feels like we’re holding our breath waiting for something more significant to happen for the lead’s character development, and yet it remains largely stagnant. Exit 8 has so much squandered potential. It might have made for a better short film than a full feature, but as a psychological horror, the film falls flat.

    Accidental Texan
    Accidental Texan forces us to sympathize with the characters rather than letting compassion form naturally. The result is a failed attempt to weave successful pathos throughout the movie.
  28. V/H/S/94
    V/H/S/94 is a solid entry that provides the telltale thrills of gritty found-footage horror mired in '90s nostalgia, though it is flawed and uneven.
  29. Sacrifice
    Messy, strange, and somewhat baffling, Gavras’ film is chaos personified. For this sometimes funny film, I wish that were a good thing.
  30. The Watchers
    The Watchers is a strange film. It has disconcerting moments, but it never rises above its premise. The story itself is half-formed at best, and the ending is so outlandish that I was stunned by how badly it’s executed. Somewhere in the supernatural horror is a film that’s worth its salt. Sadly, The Watchers is not even worth the price of a theater ticket.
