  1. Carry-On
    The star of the show here is Collet-Serra. Nothing here reinvents the genre wheel, but the way that the stakes and scope of Carry-On keep escalating even as the focus remains resolutely intimate and paranoid showcases a refreshingly old-school grasp of thriller mechanics.
  2. Do Not Resist
    Director Craig Atkinson's documentary explicates its points with blunt but persuasive efficiency.
  3. Sightseers
    This sardonic depiction of Britain, as a land where a thin veneer of strained politesse and fussy specificity of tastes masks a throbbing heart of darkness, makes for Ben Wheatley's best film yet.
  4. The Pink Cloud
    After a while, writer-director Iuli Gerbase’s boldly mundane take on forced isolation gives way to a regular sort of mundanity.
  5. Uncertain Terms
    Appropriately, the images in the film, the most fluidly beautiful and resonant of Nathan Silver's career thus far, suggest flashes of memory relived from the vantage point of the future.
  6. Compliance
    It seems as if Craig Zobel wants to implicate the audience in these proceedings, but he doesn't have a very clear idea how to go about it.
  7. A Boy and His Dog
    The film is riddled with an unmistakably misogynistic bent, and can’t be bothered to supply one single likable soul.
  8. Star Trek Beyond
    Stark Trek Beyond emphasizes the inter-personal dynamics of the USS Enterprise, and functions best as an extended team-building exercise.
  9. A Sinner in Mecca
    What the film lacks in narrative unity and aesthetic splendor it makes up in moral grandeur and ethical purpose.
  10. The Origin of Evil
    The Origin of Evil recalls Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness for how its prolonged, soft-peddled skewering of the wealthy seems convinced of its Buñuelian irreverence.
  11. Icarus
    A routinely assembled mélange of provocative material consistently undone by its maker's perplexing need to foist himself into the center of every conversation.
  12. Gloria
    Cassavetes and Rowlands lend a screwball energy to this thriller, ably playing conflicting moods of suspense and silliness off each other to complicate an otherwise straightforward genre film.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Bullhead
    What Bullhead ultimately lacks isn't balls but insight and empathy.
  14. The Night
    It’s at the juncture between horror and philosophical surrealism that Kourosh Ahari’s film is at its most provocative.
  15. First Match
    After a certain point, Olivia Newman's film treats the womanhood of its main character as an afterthought.
  16. Mutt
    That Feña suffers so that other trans people won’t have to may be edifying to some, but it also reduces Mutt to an Afterschool Special.
  17. Like Crazy
    Outside of Felicity Jones's work, the film, directed and co-written by Drake Doremus, usually feels like it's soullessly connecting dots, a far cry from the Before Sunrise-style substance its Yank-meets-Euro chattiness might suggest.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Terms and Conditions May Apply
    If The Social Network didn't make you want to quit Facebook in 2010, the brave new world outlined here should, despite the fact that your data won't actually be erased.
  19. My Love, Don't Cross That River
    Jin Mo-young fetishizes his subjects' wholly modest behaviors as cute manifestations of a pure form of human interaction.
  20. Equity
    The film ultimately succeeds in offering a fresh female-centered perspective on its genre material.
  21. Art and Craft
    The filmmakers profile the prolific Mark Landis with a non-judgmental straightforwardness that allows the sheer brazenness of his scams to generate both shock and amusement.
  22. The Hunger Games
    The Hunger Games is more notable for the holes it doesn't fall into than the great heights it reaches.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Horror Express
    The best that can be said for Horror Express is that it doesn’t take itself at all seriously, and it isn’t too proud to steal outright what other films politely borrow.
  24. I Used to Go Here
    The film is almost sadistically driven to turn a woman’s trip down memory lane into fodder for cringe humor.
  25. I Confess
    I Confess ultimately reveals itself to be one of Hitchcock’s most successful examinations of the tension between public image and private turmoil.
  26. Step Up To The Plate
    Paul Lacoste's almost purely observational approach allows him to come about as close to documenting the process of creation as anyone ever has.
  27. Family Romance, LLC
    We are never quite sure of the extent to which situations and dialogues have been scripted and, as such, it’s as though Herzog were more witness than author, more passerby than gawker, simply registering Japan being Japan.
  28. Addiction Incorporated
    The most dramatic material, such as Victor DeNoble's much-applauded congressional testimony, more or less traffics common knowledge without bothering to provide fresh emotional context.
  29. Crazy, Stupid, Love
    This schizophrenic conception of Gosling's character is indicative of the film's largely dichotomous view of romantic relationships.
  30. Deepwater Horizon
    The film should have been a cautionary tale, but in Peter Berg's hands, it's a hollow account of the resilience of the human spirit.
