  1. Jason Bourne
    One of the more admirable traits of the original Bourne trilogy is how little pleasure it takes in its violence, but Jason Bourne revels in its vicious action sequences.
  2. Nerve
    By merely transposing its generic high school clique drama onto an augmented reality platform, Nerve sacrifices most of its novelty, but the filmmakers demonstrate a marginal interest in how this mediated environment warps the perspectives of its characters.
  3. Homo Sapiens
    A real yet illusory world is evoked so seamlessly that it also feels just one step away from pure cinematic fiction.
  4. Into the Forest
    Essentially a post-apocalyptic telenovela, it sanitizes the concept of sisterhood, and even womanhood.
  5. On the Silver Globe (1988)
    It becomes a bleak comic spit into the face of organized religion, organized society, and even organized narrative.
  6. Indignation
    James Schamus's screenplay is rich with culturally specific details that deepen these forking moral predicaments.
  7. The Land
    Writer-director Steven Caple Jr.'s social-realist tendencies run up against some unconvincing genre elements.
  8. Gleason
    It has an irritating habit of depending on our natural reactions, letting the subject matter do the heavy lifting.
  9. Viral
    The film slightly reorients our perspective on the familiar tropes of both the teen and apocalyptic genres.
  10. Hieronymus Bosch, Touched by the Devil
    It highlights how the ownership of art serves as a marker of capital for distinguishing one institution over another.
  11. Equity
    The film ultimately succeeds in offering a fresh female-centered perspective on its genre material.
  12. Tallulah
    Relevant facts about each character are dutifully punched out, in earnest speeches or actions that are often wildly overdrawn.
  13. Lights Out
    Few horror films are as insistent about the trauma mental illness inflicts on families as Lights Out, and still fewer are so insensitive about it.
  14. Star Trek Beyond
    Stark Trek Beyond emphasizes the inter-personal dynamics of the USS Enterprise, and functions best as an extended team-building exercise.
  15. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    There's something to be said for a summer movie that offers up Chris Colfer as an unapologetic misogynist hairdresser.
  16. For the Plasma
    The film, whose disparate narrative threads unsurprisingly never connect, drowns in weirdness for its own sake.
  17. The Childhood of a Leader
    Brady Corbet reaches for a dreary self-importance akin to Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon.
  18. Summertime
    Catherine Corsini depicts feminists in lighthearted ways, at once humorously caricatured and sensitively human.
  19. Ice Age: Collision Course
    If Ice Age: Collision Course gleefully fails at being a history lesson, at least it offers an energetic recess from reality.
  20. Train to Busan
    When divorced of message-mongering, the film’s scare tactics are among the most distinctive that the zombie canon has ever seen.
  21. The Seventh Fire
    The documentary renders poverty a mysterious entity instead of a curable malady of systemic exclusion.
  22. Don't Think Twice
    It displays an intimate chemical understanding of the exhausting and unrelentingly impotent agony of failure.
  23. Sea Fog
    The film fails to lift off from this sturdy aesthetic launching pad; it never allows the characters, however stock, to evolve in their respective dealings with one another, which is the primary source of tension and escalation for a thriller set in a confined place.
  24. Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
    The film is an incoherent and aesthetically barren harangue masquerading as a revisionist history lesson.
  25. Captain Fantastic
    The film is premised on a radical act that it buries beneath a grueling avalanche of quirk.
  26. Demon
    Demon offers a tidal wave of unrelieved longing and regret, with a devilish streak of absurdism.
  27. Phantom Boy
    The filmmakers are thankfully willing to render, with unremitting vigor, how grief can batter the human heart.
  28. Ghostbusters
    When it's good, this new Ghostbusters is funny, driven, sometimes even a bit scary.
  29. The Infiltrator
    Its clunky incidents of exposition leave us with no real understanding of what anyone is thinking or feeling.
  30. Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru
    Director Joe Berlinger essentially allows his subject to hijack the film for his own end.
