  1. I, Daniel Blake
    It's pock-marked by the conservative dramatic conventions and broad political gestures that have marred much of Ken Loach's recent output.
  2. Morgan
    The film's makers lose trust in the intellectual heft of their material and chose to prioritize empty sensation instead.
  3. Nerve
    By merely transposing its generic high school clique drama onto an augmented reality platform, Nerve sacrifices most of its novelty, but the filmmakers demonstrate a marginal interest in how this mediated environment warps the perspectives of its characters.
  4. The Greasy Strangler
    It aims for John Waters-style transgression without evincing half of Waters’s wit and affection for eccentric lifestyles.
  5. Misconception
    The even-handedness of Yu's gaze throughout the first part of the film, alas, isn't sustained in the second and third chapters.
  6. Almost Christmas
    The film is most affecting in its simpler moments, particularly those revolving around food.
  7. Rough Night
    To some degree, Rough Night's attention to character detail compensates for its weaknesses as a comedy.
  8. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    There's something to be said for a summer movie that offers up Chris Colfer as an unapologetic misogynist hairdresser.
  9. Free to Run
    The doc's caginess is a weakness that results from an inherently nostalgic sense of reverie.
  10. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
    The film is, at least, a marvelously enticing advertisement for the upcoming Final Fantasy XV video game.
  11. War on Everyone
    The film is in love with the tropes it ridicules, and it doesn't take long for that love to dwarf any possibility of critique.
  12. Under the Sun
    Under the Sun's overall aesthetic identifies a willingness to settle for an easy condemnation of an obviously abysmal regime, while not doing anything challenging or enlightening with all the outstanding footage collected.
  13. Max Rose
    The film occasionally and promisingly suggests an obsessive and free-associative paean to regret.
  14. Edge of Winter
    One comes to resent the film for how it thrills to the possibility of a father hurting his children.
  15. Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny
    The documentary is just more of what we've come to expect from director Richard Linklater's expanded fanverse.
  16. The Confessions
    Director Roberto Andò takes the form of a classical whodunit and bludgeons it with naïve indignation and sanctimony.
  17. Command and Control
    Robert Kenner's stylistic choices amplify the film's fetishistic fascination with the nuclear weaponry itself.
  18. Sea Fog
    The film fails to lift off from this sturdy aesthetic launching pad; it never allows the characters, however stock, to evolve in their respective dealings with one another, which is the primary source of tension and escalation for a thriller set in a confined place.
  19. Skiptrace
    The film's bloated action-comedy machinery prevents any real chemistry from forming between Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville.
  20. A Beautiful Now
    Writer-director Daniela Amavia fails to link the lives of her characters to any deeper sense of meaning.
  21. Mary Poppins Returns
    For all of its slavish devotion to Mary Poppins, the sequel doesn't even seem to recognize its greatest attribute: its star.
  22. T2 Trainspotting
    The heart of T2 lies in the relationship between Renton and Sick Boy, but their rocky reunion is another victim both to the wheel-spinning innate in Hodge’s script and Boyle’s relative lack of fresh ideas.
  23. Salt and Fire
    Salt and Fire is a doodle, suggesting an assemblage of ecological riffs and fantasias that Werner Herzog may have entertained while making Into the Inferno.
  24. LBJ
    By pairing down Lyndon Baines Johnson’s multifarious life and career to this one piece of legislation, the film fails to do justice to both the man and the fraught times he so fundamentally influenced.
  25. The Tenth Man
    As films about dopey dudes finding love go, The Tenth Man is too modest for its own good.
  26. Will You Dance with Me?
    Derek Jarman's footage speaks to the freedoms afforded by the combination of a darkened dance floor and like-minded people.
  27. Land of Mine
    Land of Mine's fitful jolts of suspense can't compensate for the story's wholly familiar trajectory.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Antibirth
    It’s unfortunate that the only part of the film that works does so by taking the wind out of the rest of it.
  29. Ferdinand
    Any potential subtext of Munro Leaf's children's book has been bleached out in the marketplace-oriented Ferdinand.
  30. Kampai! For the Love of Sake
    Mirai Konishi's documentary inevitably reveals itself to be an elaborate infomercial for Westerners.
