  1. Jimmy's Hall
    Ken Loach's staging is so calm and sober that it turns his story into an expertly photographed yet weirdly remote rebellion tale.
  2. 7 Minutes
    Whether because of race, shame, shelter, or fright, 7 Minutes remains white in the face throughout.
  3. A Little Chaos
    Alan Rickman's film is consistently, and often dispiritingly, mired in the quaint tradition of the classy costume drama.
  4. Max
    It hits its Red State beats so hard that its target audience likely won't notice they're being not only condescended to, but insulted outright.
  5. Advantageous
    The dialogue is so disaffected it's as if humans were replicants even before going through the aforementioned twin-making procedure.
  6. Ted 2
    The film is a redundant showcase for Seth MacFarlane's racy, dick-centric sense of humor.
  7. Felt
    A hollow bit of violence exposes the film's sense of empowerment as nothing more than a harmless sheep masquerading in wolf's clothing.
  8. Batkid Begins
    Any hope of meaningful reflection or insight is doused by a steady drip of often redundant and banal observations.
  9. Runoff
    This emotionally affecting film never loses sight of the ethical complexity of forsaking a community in the name of an individual.
  10. Into the Grizzly Maze
    David Hackl often shoots his bear in fashions that accent its lumbering, powerful grace, even during its death rattle.
  11. The Princess of France
    The distinctiveness of Matías Piñeiro's alluring brand of formalism lies in this deference to chance and alchemy.
  12. Bound to Vengeance
    It trivializes victim trauma by treating its main character's best-laid plans as punchline fodder.
  13. A Murder in the Park
    Its wholly complex and provocative social pleas slip too frequently into the seedy realm of journalistic exploitation.
  14. The Little Death
    It's perched uneasily on a fence separating a rote comic sketch film from something weirder, stranger, and less engaged with offering reassuring domestic homilies.
  15. L.A. Slasher
    It inflates the meta conceit (already borderline overblown) of a pop-obsessed, sex-negative serial killer to excessive but trite proportions.
  16. Glass Chin
    The story wisely focuses on the cast's worn-in and jazzy repartee and expresses a perfectly modulated sense of self-awareness.
  17. A Borrowed Identity
    It lacks a formal rigor to match its thematic heft, preferring a digestible naturalism that serves its plot points in plain, uncomplicated sight.
  18. What Happened, Miss Simone?
    It utilizes Maya Angelou's claim as tantalizing bait rather than the starting point for a feature-length thesis statement.
  19. Big Game
    The rambling conversations and endless wandering through nature could let the film pass for a filler episode of Lost.
  20. 3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets
    A barbed inquiry into this particular notion of "self-defense," enabled by the quotidian racism state and perpetuated de jure by the state.
  21. Phantom Halo
    A genre mishmash cobbled together from the refuse of disparate visual and narrative modes.
  22. Infinitely Polar Bear
    Maya Forbes reveals herself as a sunny optimist, insistent on remembering the ecstatic highs and never dwelling on the despairing lows.
  23. The Wanted 18
    The eccentric artistry calls so much attention to itself as to make the subject of the film feel like an afterthought.
  24. Balls Out
    The film reveals itself as a sports movie actually attuned to the knowledge that victory in an inconsequential game bears no meaning.
  25. Rubble Kings
    It fails to go deep enough, suggesting an appetizer offered as an opening to an ultimately unserved meal.
  26. Manglehorn
    David Gordon Green stages even fleeting tonal palate cleansers with a self-consciousness that parallels Al Pacino's acting.
  27. Burying the Ex
    It alternates awkwardly between shrill, borderline misogynistic sex farce and desperately gory, pun-rife creature feature.
  28. The Overnight
    The film's Buñuelian potential for harpooning the bourgeoisie is quickly dashed in favor of mumblecore antics.
  29. Gabriel
    The film wants to reveal the anguish of mental illness and infiltrate the mind of its protagonist through constant affirmation of his pain.
  30. The Face of an Angel
    Michael Winterbottom's film is a mess of tones, but not of ideas, which could well sum up the director's prodigious but uneven oeuvre.
