    HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle
    Fortunately, Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle is a more than worthy follow-up to the original anime, with its writing, animation, and overall direction being as great as the anime’s, if not greater.
  2. 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.
  3. Longing
    While Longing was aiming for poignancy, it unfortunately landed on preposterous.
  4. 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.
  5. Bad Boys: Ride or Die
    Bad Boys continues chugging along with Ride or Die. Watching the sequel reminded me a bit of the Fast and Furious franchise — it tries to go bigger than before, while also maintaining its core relationships as a key to its success.
  6. The Shrouds
    An obvious inspiration pulled from experiencing losing his wife Carolyn to cancer, Cronenberg delivers a subdued horror film on grief, which feels unlike any of his previous works.
  7. The Substance
    While dissecting the world’s ridiculous beauty ideals, Fargeat directs her sensational feat with pungent audacity, fearless humor, and dysmorphic body horror.
  8. Robot Dreams
    The characters are animated with such clarity of expression, and the film is edited so expertly, that lines just aren't necessary.
  9. Young Woman and the Sea
    The film keeps things simple, but it shines like a lighthouse in the darkness nonetheless.
  10. Anora
    Anora is a lovable tale of rags to riches that comes exploding with chaos, hilarity, raunchiness, and a stupendous performance from Mikey Madison.
  11. Bird
    A harrowing narrative that contemplates the transition from girlhood to womanhood, Arnold uses magical realism to capture preteen angst with a strong desire for existential freedom.
  12. Atlas
    Atlas is like an artificial sci-fi movie that walks and talks like the real thing, but just isn't.
  13. A Family Affair
    The sparsely populated funny moments don't make up for the lack of craftsmanship in the story's journey.
  14. 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.
  15. Kinds of Kindness
    Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness is a melting pot of anthology narratives that callously spotlight our desperation for affection and acceptance.
  16. Oh, Canada
    With sincerity and style, Schrader offers a thoughtful film about life and legacy.
  17. 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.
  18. The Second Act
    A highly restrained examination of multiple topics, The Second Act is a film about everything and nothing all at once. Perhaps in line with Dupieux’s style, the surreal, dark humor and commentary produce a messy end product that overstays its welcome.
  19. Back to Black
    With the documentary Amy painting a more detailed and intimate portrait of the singer’s life, it’s hard to recommend such a stilted, unimaginative biopic that doesn’t do Winehouse any justice.
  20. Megalopolis
    Megalopolis isn't just a transcendental delight for the senses, it's a manifestation of Coppola's dreams for humanity and his dedication to cinema.
  21. Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever
    With unnerving tension, this slow-burning horror gradually unveils its alarming context.
  22. The Strangers: Chapter 1
    The Strangers: Chapter 1 ends with a cliffhanger that paves the way for Chapter 2 , and that, I feel, is where this new trilogy will really get the chance to take off.
  23. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
    Though some may long for a meatier, more dialogue-heavy script, most viewers will appreciate the sumptuous meal offered by Miller's impressive visual storytelling and Taylor-Joy's powerful screen presence.
  24. IF
    Despite the clunkier elements, though, IF pushes through with its warmth and optimistic tone, paving the way for some truly effective moments.
  25. Mother of the Bride
    Mother of the Bride's success rests on the filmmakers' abilities to not oversell anything and trust that the collective charisma of the assembled cast will do what it needs to do — and it does, though a flimsy script and one major miscast can be distracting.
  26. Evil Does Not Exist
    It eludes classification, refusing to commit to being one thing and instead asking us to question our relationship with the world around us.
  27. The Last Stop in Yuma County
    The fascinating characters that populate the film and the masterful buildup of tension that unexpectedly erupts midway through the story more than compensate for any shortcomings.
  28. Tarot
    When it comes to horror, sometimes originality isn't necessary; what's key are the scares, and how everything unfolds. Unfortunately, Tarot falls flat in the former category, and the latter isn't particularly engaging.
  29. 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.
  30. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a rousing action-adventure in the ruins of the human world – traces of the past remain but this is Noa's story.
