    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.
  2. The Surfer
    The Surfer is a slow-burn film that requires a lot of patience. Cage does his best with limited material, as his character doesn’t have much depth beyond wanting something and aiming to get it.
  3. A Desert
    A Desert is the scariest movie I've seen all year.
  4. Thunderbolts*
    Thunderbolts* deftly tackles mental health and serves as a fantastic MCU movie, with great performances from Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman.
  5. The Killgrin
    Its strong characters and performances can only do so much to elevate a lackluster, unfocused story that often feels stuck waiting for the third act to kick in.
  6. Neighborhood Watch
    The film is a genuine pleasure to watch, especially for fans of either or both of the leading actors.
  7. The Trouble with Jessica
    The Trouble with Jessica's cast still can't overcome just how unlikable their characters are.
  8. The Legend of Ochi
    The Legend of Ochi isn't just a throwback in terms of style and narrative. It recalls a time when audiences had longer attention spans and were more willing to suspend their disbelief, and there's no better reason to do so than to experience The Legend of Ochi.
  9. Havoc
    While it's a shame the movie around the cast doesn't quite match their efforts, it at least gives them just enough to keep Havoc from being a complete waste.
  10. That They May Face the Rising Sun
    Because of its beautiful story about people simply living in 1980s Ireland, That They May Face the Rising Sun stands out as a perfect examination of the multifaceted nature of life.
  11. Blue Sun Palace
    With a deliberate pacing that is aided by great performances and stellar cinematography, the movie does a phenomenal job at showcasing the human struggles that follow tragedy.
  12. Until Dawn
    It's a thrilling ride, and the fun the production is having with itself is contagious. There are moments of humor and necessary breaks in the tension that let us laugh and allow us to get braver alongside the characters.
  13. Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon
    Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon meets fans and newcomers right in the middle, and the resulting movie is for everyone. Overall, it's a summation of one of the best animes out right now, and if you want to prep for season 2 and are short on time, it's serviceable.
  14. Dreams
    One of Dreams' strengths is that its dramatic devices pair well with its interests.
  15. The Death of Snow White
    There is some great comedy in this, and the performances go hand in hand with the script and production. With early conversations leaning into the goofiness, it permits us not to take everything else too seriously, leading to being surprised by some oddly genuine moments and decent dramatic acting.
  16. Invention
    Even if I didn't quite love the film, I can't deny I hope it inspires more to take the same bold risks Hernandez and Stephens did.
  17. iHostage
    Thanks to the stellar acting and nonstop pace of the story, iHostage transcends a few underdeveloped characters to create an intense story based on scarily true events.
  18. Hell of a Summer
    Though the actors have little to work with, they're a game ensemble, potentially making them the only redeeming quality of Hell of a Summer​​​​​​.
  19. It Feeds
    Because of its powerful, universal themes, terrifying creature, and strong characters, It Feeds delivers a resonant horror experience about the pain of shared trauma.
  20. Queens of Drama
    The film did not nail it in many regards, but it is a truly entertaining tribute to queer pop and obsessed fandoms. Queens of Drama is, in the end, a delightful hot mess.
  21. Sinners
    I was taken to another place watching Sinners, and I have no doubt audiences will walk away having been moved and simultaneously entertained by this gripping, multifaceted story that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible and, ideally, more than once.
  22. The Amateur
    Yes, Charlie Heller (a brilliant Rami Malek) spends an appropriate amount of time dreaming up memories of his beautiful wife Sarah (an underutilized Rachel Brosnahan), but the screenplay by Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli offers plenty more than the usual setup of a man hulking out over a woman's death.

    Screamboat
    It doesn't quite rise to the level of "good" often enough for me to heartily recommend it. However, those who have a morbid fascination with this new crop of public domain horror could do much, much, much worse.
  24. Gazer
    If Sloan and Mastroianni made Gazer with only their limited resources and spark to create something new, it bodes well for the filmmakers' futures and whatever their next project will be.
  25. William Tell
    William Tell is a rare movie that I would argue should have been longer. If there's any story that could justify a three-hour runtime, it's William Tell, and the pacing would have benefited from this length enormously.

    825 Forest Road
    While I will not spoil the ending, the film really struggles to avoid making a demonized monster out of mental illness, portraying sufferers as violent.
  27. A Minecraft Movie
    Some of the best game movies have adventure, heart, humor & good characters. I wish I could say A Minecraft Movie had these things besides adventure.
  28. The Life List
    The Life List doesn't offer too many surprises or dwell in any unpleasantness for too long, making for a simple and relaxing viewing experience that hits right in the heart.
  29. Audrey's Children
    Because of its historical highlights, important message, and incredible performances, Audrey's Children is a perfect biopic, depicting a tear-jerking topic without shying away from the emotions it conjures.
  30. Invader
    Even though Invader presents some interesting ideas and even a few tense scenes, the movie fails to capture much interest beyond its initial premise.
