  1. Ant-Man
    Half-assed mentions of the Avengers, as well as a few cameo appearances sprinkled both within the feature and in its credits stingers, exude less shame than a crowd-pandering politico.
  2. Jellyfish Eyes
    Takashi Murakami has invested the film with the same sort of primal pop-art aesthetic that distinguishes much of his art.
  3. Irrational Man
    Woody Allen and Joaquin Phoenix's collaboration on Irrational Man's antihero is the closest the film gets to a saving grace.
  4. Mr. Holmes
    Bill Condon ignores the delights and hardships of becoming an artist in lieu of simply presenting the long-touted liberating effects of art.
  5. Lila & Eve
    Charles Stone III's film ultimately succeeds as a convincing social plea, but fails as compelling cinema.
  6. Ardor
    It broods along as if it's expressing something monumentally important with each slow-as-molasses camera move.
  7. The Stanford Prison Experiment
    The formalism fashions effective textural shortcuts to behavioral understanding that the remarkable cast fills in with chilling, convincing finesse.
  8. Catch Me Daddy
    The film plods from one gruesome moment to the next, as if its mere aversion to optimism constitutes a philosophy.
  9. Alléluia
    Both Lola Dueñas and Laurent Lucas are impressively committed to their roles, but the film's script is elusive to a fault.
  10. The Look of Silence
    If The Look of Silence still remains a gripping, vital, consequential documentary, it's in spite of its approach rather than because of it.
  11. Boulevard
    Not merely rote, Boulevard is contemptible for a belief in its own stature as a daring attempt to parse through the minutia of its core relationship, where Nolan's uncertain sexuality would be terms enough to laud the film's provocative insights.
  12. Minions
    It's a buzzkill to enter the world of Minions primed for a tidal wave of gibberish-talking lemmings to tear the roof off, only to see them once again led astray by the ordinariness of human affairs.
  13. The Gallows
    The film is sstrictly a high-tech spin on one of those Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
  14. Stations of the Cross
    Stations of the Cross acknowledges that putting theoretical behaviors and mindsets into practice can have unwieldy consequences if context and intent are wholly ignored.
  15. Self/less
    The film's corporate blandness is almost as dispiriting as its disinterest in exploiting the inherent saliency of the material.
  16. Magic Mike XXL
    Magic Mike XXL isn't so much a lesser movie than Magic Mike as it is a looser one.
  17. Terminator Genisys
    Terminator Genisys feels like being trapped in a conversation with a child breathlessly recounting the highlights of the preceding movies.
  18. A Poem Is a Naked Person
    Even Les Blank's most conventional work remains an elusive vision, punctuated by cultural insights that elude many filmmakers for their entire careers.
  19. Mala Mala
    The filmmakers aren't really interested in the space between what these women say and what they mean.
  20. Stray Dog
    Ron "Stray Dog" Hall proves to be a welcome antidote to stereotypes about burly, bearded red-state RV dwellers.
  21. Closer to God
    The end result suggests Re-Animator as told through an airless CNN report.
  22. In Stereo
    The film is just another fantasy of living only the good portions of the life of an artist.
  23. Jackie & Ryan
    The film comes undone in its clumsy attempts to transform its story into a parable of economic distress.
  24. Stung
    The filmmakers maintain a tone that's mostly ideal for the contemporary equivalent of a drive-in movie: of reverent, parodic irreverence.
  25. What We Did on Our Holiday
    The underlying, redundant, and underwhelming theme of the film is the pursuit of family unity at all costs.
  26. Tangerine
    Its triumph is primarily a matter of style, a visionary revelation every bit as expressionistic as its main character's electric sense of shade.
  27. Do I Sound Gay?
    Another link in an increasingly tiresome chain of naval-gazing think pieces posing as personal documentary.
  28. 10,000 km
    It ends up feeling like an unsatisfying cautionary tale on how much detachment is too much detachment.
  29. Cartel Land
    A stunning work of war reportage nestled within a creaky study of ideological purity.
  30. Amy
    For the most part, the documentary succeeds in conveying a galvanizing sense of what made Winehouse so immediately engaging.
