  1. 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.
  2. Trigger Warning
    Much like The Mother, Trigger Warner is all setup with little payoff. The emotional sentiments are effective but drawn out in uninteresting ways, and Alba, a capable actress, is not nearly as charismatic as the middling script requires her to be.

    Blackwater Lane
    If the lazy scripting and oversaturation of identical scenes were not enough, Blackwater Lane also lacks any sense of novelty.
  4. Beacon
    The script is caught between wanting to be a full-blown horror movie and wanting to be a tense psychological thriller.
  5. The Freshly Cut Grass
    Every moment is purposeful, every conversation sharp; the actors and the direction say more than what is on the surface.
  6. The Wasp
    Pitch-perfect performances elevate this magnificent film that I can’t say enough good things about.
  7. 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.
  8. The Knife
    It’s masterful in developing a gnawing suspense that permeates the film, and never falters in engaging us from start to finish.
  9. 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.

    Ride
    Ride is an enthralling movie about the lengths a family is willing to go to protect one another, tugging at the heartstrings and leaving an impression long after the credits roll.
  11. The Imaginary
    Despite being a story about a world full of imagination and incredible adventures, the narrative moves slowly, hoping to succeed thanks to the animation.
  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. The Bikeriders
    Gradually, everything becomes burdened with story. The more the triangle of Kathy, Benny, and Johnny is played up for drama, the less interesting it becomes.
  14. Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer
    Despite finding a sweet spot, The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer falters as a whole. Buscemi, Magaro, and Lower give great performances, but it does little to fill in the gaps of the story.
  15. Janet Planet
    Baker's familiarity with the area gives Janet Planet a distinct sense of place and Baker an assured way with the camera, but there's also a universality to it and to the film's central pair that helps it transcend to something even more affecting.
  16. The Exorcism
    Crowe’s performance is The Exorcism’s saving grace. His dedication to crafting a character whose struggles he wears on his sleeve elevates the lackluster horror elements that are consistently on display, but that don’t do much for the overall story.
  17. Power of the Dream
    Despite its vast scope, the intimate and always welcoming Power of the Dream manages to feel both timely and timeless.
  18. Ultraman: Rising
    It proves to be a fulfilling and heartwarming journey.
  19. Tuesday
    It’s a deeply symbolic and, at times, flawed film, but Tuesday is filled with love, heartache, and pain.
  20. Cora Bora
    Punctuated by heart-aching moments, Stalter’s performance puts her comic star power on full display, reiterating the actor’s excellent comedic timing.

    Federer: Twelve Final Days
    Federer: Twelve Final Days is a slightly flavorless digestif after the main course that was the Swiss' inimitable career.
  22. Treasure
    There are great moments in the quiet of Treasure, the scenes where director Julia von Heinz's camera lingers on a look, an item, or a landscape. But Treasure finds itself stuck in the middle of these tender moments and a heavy-handed way with emotion that has good intentions but doesn't land the same.
  23. Tiger Stripes
    Melding gut-wrenching body horror with unique parallels between puberty and transformation, writer-director Amanda Nell Eu's feature debut is thoughtful and intriguing, even if it doesn't fully soar.
  24. Inside Out 2
    Inside Out 2 leans more towards greatness than redundancy & though it falls short of being one of Pixar's best, it's a worthy addition to the library.
  25. 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.
  26. Ezra
    Ezra is heartwarming and funny, but it just never quite manages to reach the level of profound insight that its story seems to strive for.
  27. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
    Costner and company know the importance of visual and sonic storytelling. In this film, the score, landscapes, and set pieces guide the stories along when the dialogue is limited, helping us to connect to the overall experience emotionally.
  28. What You Wish For
    What You Wish For posits that the cycle of working for an evil, self-righteous entity never stops.
  29. The Dead Don't Hurt
    Krieps has such a clear vision of who Vivienne is when she isn’t the object of romance, violence or intolerance. Her quirks and quiet dominance ultimately shift the film toward the direction Mortensen thought he was headed.
  30. Summer Camp
    While the film does win some laughs, and the third act is noticeably better than the first two, Summer Camp won't be for everyone.
