  1. Wuthering Heights
    What they cannot ignore is that the film is otherwise still lacking. For all the epithets one could throw out about Wuthering Heights, the most surprising may be that it is an abject snooze, and that its nonchalance about color-specific casting reveals a filmmaker completely insensitive to the implications of race in the late 18th century.
  2. GOAT
    It's an underdog story — sorry, under-goat story — for a new generation that is ready for a new, more inclusive kind of game.
  3. Exit 8
    It grows tedious because it feels like we’re holding our breath waiting for something more significant to happen for the lead’s character development, and yet it remains largely stagnant. Exit 8 has so much squandered potential. It might have made for a better short film than a full feature, but as a psychological horror, the film falls flat.
  4. The Strangers: Chapter 3
    The only thing Harlin has done here is to remove the element of surprise. Without that, the film is nothing, nothing at all.
  5. The Friend's House Is Here
    What's most fascinating about The Friend's House is Here is that it makes its protest heard through a story that remains adamantly vivacious for nearly its entire runtime.
  6. American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
    If American Pachuco leaves you wanting more, perhaps that's not a bad thing; Valdez deserves the last word, anyway, and he's not finished.
  7. Take Me Home
    Its approach is so diffuse that its uncertain and purposefully ambiguous ending is misguided at best.
  8. Wicker
    Brought to life by yet another astounding performance by Olivia Colman and exquisitely shot and designed, Wicker's treasure is in its hopeless romanticism that insists that pure love and adamant individuality can create irrevocable progress through osmosis.
  9. See You When I See You
    It's a standard-bearer film, a real fastball down the middle, which hits all of its assumed itinerant emotional beats right on target, without ever really challenging us in any major way.
  10. The Oldest Person in the World
    A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life's most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.
  11. Once Upon a Time in Harlem
    A clarion call from across space and time, like a message in a bottle, its very existence is a wild gift.
  12. The Gallerist
    The Gallerist is a tepid satire. Even calling it such feels generous, as the film is almost entirely devoid of genuine humor.
  13. Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story
    An essential doc that reveals the origins of her singular voice with exceeding warmth and vulnerability.
  14. Send Help
    A true rarity, Send Help feels fresh and unique — so much, in fact, it’s hard to decide whether you want Raimi (or anybody else, for that matter) to make more movies like it, or let it alone, thriving on a far-off island where no one can compromise its singular, idiosyncratic perfection.
  15. I Want Your Sex
    Candy-colored and ebullient, I Want Your Sex is not a bad film, but its hard to think of it positively when we know just how much more effective Araki has been behind the camera. The film is just never sure of what it is.

    Islands
    Islands feels less like a destination than a prolonged pause. It’s watchable, occasionally absorbing, but rarely urgent. It’s hard to shake off the feeling that Gerster introduces narrative ideas he has little interest in fully developing.

    Worldbreaker
    Worldbreaker has the skeletal framework of a great dystopian thriller, but never progresses beyond surface-level worldbuilding. Even so, it effectively captures the resilience of a family that doggedly battles the odds for survival in a world teeming with chaos.
  18. Shelter
    Waugh knows how to build an action sequence with the best of them, and Shelter is, ultimately, an electric actioner, so long as it is sticking to the action.
  19. Carousel
    Carousel is a moving romance in all the ways it isn't romantic.
  20. Bedford Park
    The circumstances around Audrey and Eli's union (Moon Choi and Son Suk-ku, respectively) is tender, yet forceful, beautiful, yet pained; but the film is otherwise formless, uninspiring and moves like molasses.
  21. The Invite
    What makes The Invite ultimately so special is its unabashed honesty, even when it means doom.
  22. The Wrecking Crew
    The Wrecking Crew has finally put Momoa and Bautista on screen together and, thankfully, it largely lives up to the potential of the acting duo.
  23. The Incomer
    The Incomer is a sweet and charming adult fairy tale whose primary characteristic, a twee and cheeky sense of humor, is both its appeal and its achilles' heel.
  24. The History of Concrete
    Wilson showed with his television series just how life-affirming it can be to just observe, and, with his triumph of a feature doc, he shows us how merely looking around can reveal entire histories.
  25. The Moment
    None of it works. I'll cut to the quick: The Moment is an unmitigated disaster.
  26. Return to Silent Hill
    Gans and co-writers Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider clearly wanted to try and make a faithful translation of the second game in the series, but between unnecessary lore changes and a lack of thematic heft in some of its storytelling, the filmmaker's return to the franchise is a weird mix of exciting recreations, gorgeous visuals and disappointing execution.
  27. Mother of Flies
    The best parts of Mother of Flies are in the margins. At its most lucid, it tells us that life, death and healing are magic — both of the Western and witchy varieties.
  28. H Is for Hawk
    No disrespect to Foy, who showed with The Crown just how capable she is of revealing entire histories through her open visage, but watching her go through the extremely repetitious (and, one supposes, accurate) steps of training a Eurasian Goshawk is exceptionally tiresome. H is for Hawk induces the same effect as taking a sedative.
  29. Mercy
    The process of searching through all manner of cloud-based applications and information in a video-game-like manner is a tantalizing prospect, one just wishes it wasn't done for something so harebrained.

    Signing Tony Raymond
    The color palette stays consistently vibrant with the comedic theme of the film and of a city like Alabama. Paired with measured pacing and a satisfyingly calibrated ending — where most characters get what they deserve — Signing Tony Raymond leaves viewers smiling at a familiar underdog story, confidently and capably told.
