  1. Uproar
    A story of family expectations, self-realization, and political altercations, Uproar packs an emotional punch while remaining consistently funny.
  2. We Were Dangerous
    The film doesn’t always rise to the occasion, and there is some lost potential and a general lack of urgency, but We Were Dangerous’ heart is in the right place, bolstered by a great cast and a strong overall message.
  3. Strictly Confidential
    While Hurley’s skill as a filmmaker was in question for the majority of the movie’s runtime, there are around 10 minutes near the end that hint that, with some work, he could hone his skills further.
  4. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One
    While The CW’s Arrowverse brought Crisis to life in its own way, the animated version takes things to the next level in an adaptation that is at once sorrowful and thrilling.
  5. Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two
    Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two is a disappointing entry, failing to truly and comprehensively build a bridge between the first film and the third film.
  6. Mind Body Spirit
    As an actor, Bartholomew has a lot riding on her performance, and for the most part, she nails it. Her physicality stands out above all else, as she expertly telegraphs internal changes and anguish to the audience through her body language.
  7. The Present
    It's commendable that the narrative never tries to explain the magic system of the world or bring up questions of potential paradoxes. However, it equally avoids questions about the nature of consequences. Without any real stakes or time crunch, the story builds and builds, but ends up going nowhere.
  8. A Family Affair
    The sparsely populated funny moments don't make up for the lack of craftsmanship in the story's journey.
  9. East Bay
    East Bay is the type of movie to be loved and cherished by introspective soul-searchers who maintain their optimism in the face of the soul-crushing nature of modernity.
  10. Grassland
    Grassland might not be revolutionary, but if it's a signal of where the next generation of filmmakers is heading, we're in safe hands.
  11. Power of the Dream
    Despite its vast scope, the intimate and always welcoming Power of the Dream manages to feel both timely and timeless.
  12. Adult Best Friends
    Adult Best Friends certainly has its heart in the right place and it can even be quite funny and lovely as it navigates the characters’ friendship and its evolution, but it’s also overstuffed with unnecessary characters and subplots that don’t add anything to the core relationship beyond distracting it from being deeper.
  13. Latency
    Croke's script seems content with delivering reality-questioning thrills rather than offering anything meaningful to keep audiences thinking beyond the movie's 90-minute runtime, or even within it.
  14. Rent Free
    Rent Free doesn't veer too far into dramatic territory, but when it does, it feels earned, a sobering moment that snaps the blurry edges of our protagonists' perspective into crystal clear view.
  15. The Freshly Cut Grass
    Every moment is purposeful, every conversation sharp; the actors and the direction say more than what is on the surface.
  16. Beacon
    The script is caught between wanting to be a full-blown horror movie and wanting to be a tense psychological thriller.

    Blackwater Lane
    If the lazy scripting and oversaturation of identical scenes were not enough, Blackwater Lane also lacks any sense of novelty.
  18. The Everything Pot
    Awkwardness knows no bounds here, and the kooky comedy has enough steam to carry it all the way through to a lovely ending.
  19. The A-Frame
    An intriguing blend of genres and themes, The A-Frame fulfills its promise to excite and entertain even with its mishaps.
  20. A Mistake
    It’s a nuanced role that Banks absolutely nails, capturing Liz’s experience in a way that makes us feel all that she’s going through.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Aliens Expanded
    Aliens Expanded is a treasure trove of love and devotion, balancing things as broad as the very idea of fandom, and as specific as precise dissections of key scenes.

    Dead Trigger
    This zombie horror that sees Lundgren’s tough mercenary lead a crack team of gamers into a zombie-ridden city is nowhere near as funny as that description may sound, playing things disappointingly straight and making for one of the actor’s more forgettable outings.
  23. Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black
    Tyler Perry's movies fall into many genres, but Divorce in the Black treads no new ground compared to his other dramas. Even in the film's most shocking moments, its narrative is part of a common formula.
  24. The Inheritance
    The film manages to be a very straightforward horror, but the lackluster character work diminishes whatever good comes from its genre shift, and the shift is substantial.
  25. Running on Empty
    The rom-com idea was solid, strong actors like Hale delivered, and chemistry between the leads was there. This can go a decent part of the way, but without more character development, direction, and a clear focus for the film, it's hard to offer much in terms of praise.
  26. The Demon Disorder
    Even once the movie elects to deal away with its ambiguity and get right to its demonic horror, The Demon Disorder still feels largely too familiar and predictable.
  27. The Pitch: Patient Safety's Next Generation
    Like many other great documentaries, The Pitch is not satisfied with simply showing the surface level of the problem, nor is it fulfilled when it reveals possible solutions. The Pitch drives deeper to the core of the problem, making its argument in a concise and undeniably powerful way.
  28. Subservience
    With a little more thought, and some effort made to elevate the narrative beyond sexy killer robots, it could have carved out a space as a cult hit, but Subservience falls short.
  29. Amber Alert
    While the movie may never fully overcome its feeling of familiarity, Panettiere and Williams' performances truly ground us throughout the tense ride.
  30. The Radleys
    It's clear there were several great ideas in The Radleys, wonderful casting across the board, but the edit leaves much to be desired.
