    Zénithal
    The themes end up both flagrantly obvious and obscured. On the one hand, the dialogue spells things out. On the other hand, broad martial arts sequences and goofy costumes detract from any nuance Zenithal could have conveyed. For those who want 80 minutes of overwrought crude jokes, this movie will not disappoint.
  2. Shaman
    As the stakes rise alongside the body count, Canning nicely captures Candice's struggle between her enduring faith and doing anything to protect her son, giving us just enough of an emotional center to overcome the film's familiarity.
  3. Strange Harvest
    Although its shoddy attempts at horror are more immersion-breaking than intended, Strange Harvest is still a monument to how well the true crime genre can be employed for fictional storytelling.
  4. My Mother's Wedding
    It may not reach the heights of other great dysfunctional family indies, but the characters are at least engaging enough to watch that the movie isn't a waste of time.
  5. It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley
    The documentary doesn't know who Jeff Buckley was. However, it might expose what we are desperate to get from him, long past the time he has anything left to give.
  6. Boys Go to Jupiter
    It’s a mind-bending visual odyssey wrapped around a grounded, relatable human story.
  7. Weapons
    There's a madcap, kinetic energy to Weapons that is wonderfully displayed in the preponderance of chase scenes in Weapons. We go under table legs and through shared bathrooms. It's like we're kids playing tag, and you don't want to be "it".
  8. Freakier Friday
    The jokes fly and mostly land, though that's largely thanks to the skill of the cast.

    To Kill a Wolf
    With stunning performances and a stirring narrative, I found every departure this movie made from its inspiration completely worthwhile.
  10. The Sparrow in the Chimney
    While the story leaves something to be desired, The Sparrow in the Chimney is a memorable family drama with plenty of layered symbolism that will keep you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
  11. My Oxford Year
    Even with a literary atmosphere and a steamy romance, the fact that My Oxford Year blatantly feels comfortable exploding emotional minefields for narratively unclear reasons clouds its potential success as a basic but inoffensive rom-com.
  12. She Rides Shotgun
    She Rides Shotgun packs a punch — or, to use one of Nate's lessons for Polly, hits you like a baseball bat to the back of the head. The subplot with the local gang may be forgettable, but the father-daughter relationship will stick with you for a long time.
  13. The Naked Gun
    The Naked Gun makes up for its lack of story with a complete commitment to the bit and uproarious performance from Liam Neeson and the cast.
  14. Osiris
    What's even more impressive about Osiris are its visual effects, which rival even those of some of the big-budget studio movies.
  15. Magnetosphere
    Thanks to its matured presentation mixed with comedic elements and important lessons, Magnetosphere crafts a perfect coming-of-age tale about the difficulties of entering one's teenage years.
  16. Happy Gilmore 2
    The film has some elements that work, but not enough to overcome its gratuitous cameos, its need to be bigger, or its wasted nostalgia and bloated runtime. Unfortunately, our lovable golfer may have been better off staying in retirement.
  17. Ick
    With a great cast, excellent visual effects, and perfectly edited and executed scenes and transitions, there is a lot to love.
  18. Four Letters of Love
    While it can be profoundly moving to follow the story of people's small but important everyday lives, the film loses both the audience and its momentum by the final act when things should be heating up the most.
  19. Oh, Hi!
    Gordon and Lerman are both in great form, going a long way in carrying the somewhat problematic premise.
  20. The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the MCU getting back to basics - a solid superhero movie, grounded in heart, but with little flashiness.
  21. Bury Me When I'm Dead
    With constant changes that still feel consistent and a dread that keeps growing with every minute, this psychological thriller is a perfect encapsulation of how well multiple genres can weave into each other.
  22. Finally Dawn
    Finally Dawn brings together a wonderful cast, a compelling story, and stunning artistry to create something magical.
  23. Saint Clare
    Even while Thorne's performance proves effective enough to keep us attached to her story, the rest of Saint Clare's cast fails to attain the same feat.
  24. Unicorns
    Unicorns is fascinating for such a simple movie, largely due to the testaments of a struggling single parent trying to make ends meet, as well as the references to the sometimes harrowing experiences of being queer and South Asian, all set against the backdrop of a casually evolving romance that feels so very real.
  25. The Banished
    While she may not have been given the best material to work with, Meg Clarke proves to be one of the few bright points in The Banished as Grace.

    JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie
    Even if it admittedly does not include much that has not already been shown, the emotional experience of seeing this pivotal arc of the manga come to life onscreen and the original scenes that are new more than make up for that shortcoming.
  27. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    I Know What You Did Last Summer isn't the worst long-awaited horror sequel ever put to screen, but it doesn't try to be anything but a shallow reflection of its predecessor.
  28. Smurfs
    The script has its moments, and I chuckled a bit at a few points. But what the film lacks is genuine heart and warmth.
  29. Off the Grid
    It's not particularly memorable or an all-time great action story, but it's decent, and the quality is there. Off the Grid is an overall satisfying action movie as long as you're willing to look past the bare-bones plot.
  30. Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox
    All in all, Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox is a stunning piece of work that is incredibly creative, creating something unique and delightful.
