  1. The Commuter
    The final optimism of the film's worldview lands with a conviction that's rare in contemporary Hollywood cinema—a resilience that's strong enough for Liam Neeson to ride out on.
  2. The Journals of Musan
    If The Journals of Musan indicates anything, it's that people, for the most part, either can't or simply aren't willing to comprehend the circumstances behind others' actions.
  3. G.B.F.
    The film, lensed in appealing candy-striped colors, has so much fun exploding stereotypes and radiates with such infectious comic gusto and genuine good nature, that it would be almost churlish to resist its charms.
  4. Pump
    The doc does a good job of avoiding partisan caterwauling, limiting its argument to a clear thesis and well-articulated supporting statements.
  5. I Am Michael
    Justin Kelly's film is more interested in rushing through the narrative's events than contemplating their environment.
  6. Dream Boat
    If the global reunion that the cruise ship presents here is such a panacea, why is there so much moping?
  7. The Legend of Hell House
    The Legend of Hell House is a regrettably just-competent adaptation of a great American horror novel.
  8. Die Another Day
    The collection of clever quips on parade here are both tiresome and predictable.
  9. Weightless
    The title Weightless is an apt description for this stylish but emotionally inert film.
  10. The Driver
    A visceral symphony of screeching tires and crushing metal.

    La Maison de la Radio
    Whether or not you consider this a banal topic, it's plain to see that the puttering documentary doesn't achieve magnificence.
  12. Diary of a Chambermaid
    The lack of ambiguity reflects Benoît Jacquot's treatment of the text, which is devoid of either formal obsessiveness or a contemporary hook.
  13. Citizen Gangster
    Its commentary on our fascination with law-breakers is virtually nonexistent, except to the extent that the film itself revels in the doomed romanticism of its own protagonist.
  14. Scarlet
    On paper, anime master Hosoda Mamoru’s Scarlet sounds positively electrifying.
  15. Wine Country
    The film’s relatively static approach to narrative works in scenes where the material is funny or elevated by a certain performance.
  16. It's What's Inside
    The camera, the cuts, the needle drops, and story twists all contribute to the feeling of a machine that’s spinning faster and faster until finally it careens right out of control.
  17. Alpha
    The possibility of relating to the characters is constantly hindered by the struggle to make sense of the story’s messily sketched dystopia.
  18. Concussion
    The near-imperceptible finesse of Abby's characterization reflects writer-director Stacie Passon's effortless, interesting mix of richness and economy.
  19. Escobar: Paradise Lost
    Benicio Del Toro's performance is showy, a great actor's parade of indulgences that occasionally sets the deranged camp tone that should have been the narrative's starting point.
  20. Adrift
    Director Baltasar Kormákur's film is a simple, acutely observed love story that also happens to be a rousingly stripped-down tale of survival.
  21. Stuffed
    Erin Derham’s unadventurous aesthetic inoculates her from taxidermy’s subversive spirit.
  22. In the Land of Blood and Honey
    When does intensity and commitment supersede historical understanding?
  23. The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger
    It insists that it's in moments of small talk, between life's larger events, that one finds vitality.
  24. Tag
    As dumb as Tag is on the surface, it offers amity, emotional support, awkward tears, the specter of death, and the spectacle of ass-punching slapstick all rolled up in one somehow cohesive collection of all-good spare parts.
  25. Turtle: The Incredible Journey
    Though it boasts its fair share of shots that approximate the turtle's first-person point of view, the film's most dominant presence is its heavy-handed maker.
  26. The Wizard of the Kremlin
    Olivier Assayas’s knack for fostering insight through irony is nowhere to be found in the film.
  27. Guilty of Romance
    Though it begins with the aesthetic and conceptual rigor of Blade Runner, it quickly veers toward the gratuitous outlandishness of a Bruce La Bruce film.
  28. Capital
    Costa-Gavras's new film is more a funhouse-mirror panegyric (albeit on an exhausted topic) than the staid thriller promised by its press materials.
  29. God Bless America
    By wholeheartedly taking its main character's side instead of complicating or censuring his homicidal vigilante crusade, it proves inanely one-note and preachy.
  30. Three Stars
    As a sampler course of what it means to court the Michelin honor, Three Stars is enjoyable, but it's simply a collision of details that never entirely converge into a meaningful whole.
