    Bugonia
    Bugonia will make you laugh, squirm, and gasp in equal measures, but the film always feels in control of which of these emotions it wants you to feel at any particular moment. Lanthimos is a master of creating atmosphere, and Bugonia really feels like he’s at the top of his game.
  2. Caught Stealing
    Caught Stealing is a refreshing addition to Aronofsky’s filmography. It’s deliberately funny and macabre, but it asks us to take it seriously.
  3. The Roses
    With such incredible performers as Colman and Cumberbatch at the center of it all, though, it's easy to have a blast. You'll want them to break up just as much as you want them to make up, and that is the most impressive thing of all.
  4. Whisper of the Witch
    The haunted object formula actually has some proper stakes, while the imagery proves memorable enough. Yet its clumsy story, bizarre character choices, and awful dubbing turn it into a truly messy affai
  5. Trust
    Trust is a disappointing and lackluster attempt at exploring a tense and important issue.
  6. Lurker
    In addition to providing a great script, Russell proves to have an excellent eye in the director's chair. He and cinematographer Pat Scola nicely mix a range of visual styles for their scenes, making particular use of handheld close-ups, putting us right into the emotion of each scene.
  7. Relay
    It’s got everything — tense chase sequences, anxious and wary phone calls, and heart-to-hearts between Sarah and Ash that underscore their characters’ need for true connection. There have been so few exceptional thrillers in recent years, but Relay is certainly one of them.
  8. Year of the Fox
    Year of the Fox is a movie far too marred by its narrative missteps to fully embrace its better parts. The dialogue becomes increasingly predictable and mind-numbing, which makes for a very misguided effort.
  9. The Thursday Murder Club
    I would love to spend more time with this ensemble. While the story deviations can prove a bit frustrating, the movie is its own thing, and I suspect it'll be a crowd-pleaser.
  10. Eenie Meanie
    It's a fresh and exciting take on a familiar storyline, with bouts of tension and energy. It raises the bar for crime thrillers thanks to the incredible cast and performances throughout. Eenie Meanie has something for everyone, with a thoroughly satisfying conclusion that stays with you hours after the credits roll.
  11. Under Fire
    Under Fire is a little rough around the edges, and the story is not unique, but the performers make it special and elevate the material.
  12. Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence)
    The film's first act makes you think the Japanese forces trying to stop Godzilla will eventually thin out and reveal someone the movie will focus on. But that doesn't happen, and the result is a film without an onscreen focal point.
  13. Honey Don't!
    Even a joyfully queer reimagining of the genre’s classically hard-boiled protagonists fails to inject enough new energy to maintain consistent intrigue, prompting viewers to seek a resolution to the central mystery well before its comparatively short 89-minute running time elapses.
  14. The Map That Leads to You
    It’s not particularly memorable, but it also has its moments, elevated by the chemistry between Madelyn Cline and Riverdale’s KJ Apa.

    East of Wall
    Despite its flaws, East of Wall is ultimately an incredibly gripping narrative.
  16. Sketch
    Sketch is adventurous and thematically finely-tuned. The chalk explosions of monsters are weirdly delightful, even if the magic system is awkwardly not justified or explained. It isn't just another movie that touts the value of wonder and imagination (a moral I admittedly love), and it's unlike anything else in how it depicts coping and healing.
  17. Red Sonja
    Red Sonja falls short of expectations from beginning to end; it only succeeds in following in the footsteps of the 1985 flop.
  18. Fixed
    Fixed is fun while it lasts, more so than you might expect going in. Its most lasting effect on me might be a longing for more traditional, hand-drawn, 2D animation from our major studios, and anyone who might feel similarly shouldn't let this movie pass them by.
  19. Nobody 2
    Nobody 2's themes could’ve been better explored, but it’s easy to overlook that and enjoy the fun, action-packed ride.

    Birthrite
    While Birthrite had some flaws throughout, Partridge knocked it out of the park in the third act, leaving things on a strong note.
  21. Site
    Site is a movie that's made up of a solid foundation with an interesting concept, ambitious direction, and a talented cast that can't find a way to maintain its better efforts along the way.
  22. The Occupant
    The film may be a simple story of survival on the surface, but the deeper layers offer universal messages that are potent and powerful. Even with its pacing issues, this movie is a strong look at the nature of grief, while showcasing important themes in very meaningful ways.
  23. Animale
    Pieces of exposition and backstory are dropped sparingly throughout Animale. While this is a strength, the movie could've done with a little more exploration of Nejma's past and relationship with her mother.
  24. What We Hide
    In a world that can have very black and white storytelling, What We Hide lives in the gray, dominating that space with ease and fluidity. What We Hide deserves to get its time in the light.

    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.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
  30. Boys Go to Jupiter
    It’s a mind-bending visual odyssey wrapped around a grounded, relatable human story.
