  1. Lone Survivor
    Like his prior "The Kingdom," Peter Berg's film pretends to dabble in a frothy moral ambiguity, swiftly betraying its true aims with trigger-happy jingoism.
  2. Smallfoot
    There’s something undeniably ballsy about a children’s film that’s so insistent about pushing young viewers to think bigger, to be open to new ideas and question culturally coded notions of good and evil.
  3. Price of Gold
    While the real-time aesthetic approach sporadically enthralls, it also reveals the narrow worldview that burdens the film.
  4. House of Gucci
    Ridley Scott’s tale of greed and revenge practically begs for melodramatic excess.
  5. Being the Ricardos
    Like all Aaron Sorkin-penned characters, this film’s version of Lucille Ball is a mouthpiece for his brand of smarmy, know-it-all sarcasm.
  6. Bad Moms
    The end-credits sequence shows up the rest of the film as the broad and incoherent live-action cartoon that it is.
  7. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
    It boasts such confident performances and choreography that it feels as much like a final draft of the 2008 film as a continuation of it.
  8. Life of Crime
    Down to its too-crisp rubber Nixon masks, Daniel Schechter's film revels in obnoxiously self-aware period detail.
  9. Thin Ice
    The icy fatalism of film noir is turned to slush by Thin Ice, a crime saga that reduces its chosen genre to a series of atonal, old-hat clichés.
  10. Hateship Loveship
    It ultimately offers little more than another opportunity for famous actors to indulge their fetishistic, inadvertently condescending impressions of "everyday" people.
  11. Self Reliance
    There’s never any danger of Self Reliance’s reach exceeding its grasp, but it gets a firm handle on the things it does want to achieve: tell good jokes, craft likeable characters, and strike a lighthearted tone that’s always just a little bit odder than you may be expecting.
  12. Celeste and Jesse Forever
    An honest and breezily melancholic film, thoroughly clear-sighted in its intentions and ideas and bravely committed to the emotional rigors of its central relationship.
  13. Metal Lords
    Peter Sollett’s coming-of-age comedy betrays rather than upholds the values of the very kids it wants to revere.
  14. Standing Tall
    The film quickly devolves into a contemptible, exploitative presentation of sociological matters.
  15. Anthropoid
    Director Sean Ellis's film offers a potent examination of the moral rectitude of resistance.
  16. We Live in Time
    John Crowley’s film blunts the force of the naturalistic performances by Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield as it shifts around the timeline of the story with little rhyme, reason, or rhythm.
  17. Heli
    The emotional and political point through all this isn't to be taken lightly, but because the entirety of the film has such a nihilistic temperament, its effect is muted.
  18. She's Lost Control
    Anja Marquardt feels the need to puff up her film with relatively artificial conflict that generally comes off as sops to screenwriting conventions.
  19. Sibyl
    Justine Triet is less committed to some make-believe realism than she is to the tricks that memory and language can play on us.
  20. Voyeur
    It's hard to come away from the film feeling anything but disdain and a twinge of embarrassment toward Gay Talese.
  21. The Humbling
    Philip Roth's original ending is cranked up to 11, flattening the more interesting contours of Al Pacino's performance into a martyr's desperate plea for an audience's love.
  22. White Boy Rick
    By treating its main character as exceptional, Yann Demange's film validates the punitive system it seeks to criticize.
  23. The Secret Garden
    In lieu of pluming the emotional states of the characters, the film resorts to a whimsical, otherworldly fantasy element as an easy resolution.
  24. Seeds of Time
    First-person accounts from individuals most affected by the drop in agricultural productivity are rarely the focus of the film's vision.
  25. The Wanted 18
    The eccentric artistry calls so much attention to itself as to make the subject of the film feel like an afterthought.
  26. Mom and Dad
    Writer-director Brian Taylor's Mom and Dad invests a hoary conceit with disturbing and hilarious lunacy.
  27. Road to Nowhere
    The script is busy and unconvincing, and much of the acting is lousy, but there are haunting touches.
  28. Unbroken
    The film's chief misstep is taking its title too literally, and ultimately depicting Louie as an indestructible, and thus largely inhuman, superhero.
  29. Into the Forest
    Essentially a post-apocalyptic telenovela, it sanitizes the concept of sisterhood, and even womanhood.
  30. The Shallows
    What makes the film churn so forcefully for so long is Jaume Collet-Serra's visual acrobatics.
