  1. Them That Follow
    Unfortunately, the care with which the filmmakers set up Them That Follow’s context and their characters crumbles in the final act.
  2. Proxy
    It transforms itself from a meek lo-fi indie stalker thriller in the key of May to a hysterically sexist and homophobic revenge film.
  3. Red Trees
    The banality of Marina Willer’s voiceover only goes to prove the old cliché that a picture is worth a thousand words.
  4. Galveston
    The film is a slow, directionless anti-thriller that never manages to build tension or establish any stakes.

    You've Been Trumped
    Though Anthony Baxter seems driven by empathy rather than greed, his film is ultimately as reductive and misleading as the expensive Trump PR campaigns he righteously rails against.
  6. The Strange Ones
    The film's mixture of sensationalism and self-conscious artiness is experimentally disingenuous at best.
  7. Havoc
    If the rest of it had been as driven by such a ferocious sense of purpose as its final act, Havoc would be one of the finest action movies of the decade so far.
  8. I Origins
    It treats its characters as placeholders for philosophical arguments and spends the majority of its running time trying to "solve" existential mysteries without adequately exploring them.
  9. Unfinished Song
    Part end-of-life romance, part grossly manipulative mush, the film tries to stare grief and mortality in the face while practically shitting rainbows.
  10. War Dogs
    The film is unrepentantly cynical when it comes to the global business of warmongering, but proves unsurprisingly earnest when it comes to the lure of the American dream.
  11. Rubberneck
    The film takes on high-concept ideas that it can't sustain, and which only make its other problems more obvious.
  12. The Equalizer
    All this should build up to a moderately engaging battle of wits, but Richard Wenk's script has little interest in wit and no capacity for psychology.
  13. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
    In keeping his actors on his sober-yet-buoyant plane, Kenneth Branagh presents a convincing romance that doesn't stall the film's brisk clip.
  14. Immaculate
    The film’s final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years, ultimately recalling nothing less than the films of the ultra-violent New French Extremity movement.
  15. The Intervention
    Clea DuVall crafts an entire film out of aborted attempts at a revelation that feel completely anodyne.
  16. Salvation Army
    It's a quiet thud of a film, which embraces, with grace and precision, the nastiness of growing up with desire stuck in one's throat like a muffled scream.
  17. Settlers
    Settlers allows for weighty themes to play out inside a cramped domestic setting, wary of easy answers or moral platitudes.
  18. Best and Most Beautiful Things
    It believes that the avenue to proving humanity is through banalizing gestures of quotidian significance.
  19. Combat Obscura
    The portrait it paints of its Marines is appropriately discordant, redolent of the twitchy frustration caused by a long stint in a sparse landscape with a hazy mission.

    Plan 9 from Outer Space
    Plan 9 stands as a testament to sincerity run amok, and as a passionate display of artistic limitations, it’s as glorious as it is flabbergasting.
  21. Collaborator
    The banter is playful and brazenly self-aware, but the ideas are a bit stale and don't lead anywhere emotionally substantial or narratively spontaneous.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Date and Switch
    The film's forced quirkiness and repeated displays of bro-ism in action hinder the potential for a more subtle approach to the potentially challenging issue the story depicts.
  23. Good for Nothing
    The title is apropos, but it's also an understatement.
  24. Koko-di Koko-da
    Nothing hinders surrealism more than the sense that its creators are actively working for it, though Koko-di Koko-da is nonetheless difficult to dismiss.
  25. Extraction
    Chris Hemsworth’s hyperbolically skilled soldier is borne of childish fantasies about the order of the world.
  26. May in the Summer
    Cherien Dabis is least successful at connecting her character May's marital crisis to the rumblings of her repressed heritage.
  27. 3 Hearts
    Throughout, Benoît Jacquot never loses sight of the primordial compulsions that drive feelings and expressions of great love and beauty.
  28. Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Enter Here
    The research that went into the film seems a largesse, but it's compromised at every turn by filmmaker Amei Wallach's sloppy, pedantic delivery.
  29. Mufasa: The Lion King
    The film, unbound by having to recreate large swaths of the original Lion King whole cloth, was clearly allowed to be a product of its director.
  30. Infinite Storm
    Not only does Infinite Storm lack for a complete vision, it’s all too comfortable in settling for mawkishness.
