  1. Generation Wealth
    Into a broad-strokes picture of a culture in crisis, Lauren Greenfield attempts to incorporate autobiographical elements, which results in some awkward narrative pivots and jarringly clunky voiceover.
  2. Being Flynn
    If Robert De Niro knew what was good for him, he'd certainly distance himself from this director and find a new path.
  3. Unmade in China
    Not even its problematically touristic gaze is enough to derail the fascination of this absurd tale's many nightmarish twists and turns.
  4. Unfriended: Dark Web
    The film is preposterously conceived, but writer-director Stephen Susco so tightly, excitingly executes it that you hardly notice.

    Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story)
    Eva Husson's controversy-courting debut is neither as lewdly subversive or as raucously debauched as its provocative title.
  6. Burning Man
    Say what you will about Burning Man, but writer-director Jonathan Teplitsky can't be accused of spoon-feeding his audience.
  7. Annabelle Comes Home
    The film is at least as likely to elicit laughs as shrieks, and certainly unlikely to leave a lasting impression.
  8. The Emperor's New Clothes
    It's more about hyping Russell Brand as a constituent for the people than locating the means for sustained economic transformation.
  9. Donnybrook
    The film knots several strands of new-millennium despair into something that very nearly approximates greatness in its first half.
  10. The Mauritanian
    Kevin Macdonald’s film never captures the spectrum of a life lived in unimaginable extremis.
  11. Richard Garriott: Man on a Mission
    Oh, the things that money can buy.
  12. Broken
    It's the rare coming-of-age narrative that manages to respect the tricky ambiguities of shifting perceptions.
  13. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
    Mandalorian and Grogu is, basically, four Mandalorian episodes wearing an IMAX trench coat.
  14. Aladdin
    Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake is content to trace the original’s narrative beats with perfunctory indifference.
  15. A Regular Woman
    Where When We Leave built to simple outage, this one concludes with a rush of complex, conflicting emotions.
  16. John Dies at the End
    The frantic, grotesque imagery ironically only highlights Don Coscarelli's inability to truly cut ties with the constraints of accepted storytelling.
  17. The Forever Purge
    As it strives for a grander metaphor of life in America, The Forever Purge resorts to sweeping generalizations that make the prior films in the series feel like pinnacles of subtlety.
  18. Ma
    In the end, the filmmakers settle for stigmatizing victimhood, abusing Sue Ann almost as much as her former tormentors.
  19. Jungleland
    Director Max Winkler truly seems to believe that he’s cutting to the heart of the boulevard of broken dreams.
  20. Downtown Express
    The movie's final act tries, somewhat admirably, to consolidate the plot's myriad interpersonal conflicts.
  21. Master
    The film is seemingly terrified of boring us, offering one elaborate montage of catch and release (or of survey and flee) after another.
  22. Race with the Devil
    Fonda might have been able to look good in most everything he was in, but even he can’t save a turd like Race with the Devil.
  23. Palmer
    After a while, the film’s parade of contrivances subsumes the acutely observed friendship at its core.
  24. Let Fury Have the Hour
    On a political level, the film is far from a Godardian dialectic, so the view of history that emerges is, to say the least, blinkered.
  25. Lilo & Stitch
    Here, “ohana” doesn’t just mean family but community, and the film does moving and spirited work in showcasing how crucial it is for us to lift each other up.
  26. She Came to Me
    The fatal flaw of the film is that it genuinely believes in the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie.
  27. Flag Day
    Flag Day is little more than a near-two-hour montage of tear-streaked faces shouting blandly melodramatic lines at each other.
  28. Hysteria
    Hysteria's happy ending isn't the type that calls for a cigarette, and it certainly isn't the one the film deserves.
  29. In the Grey
    At some point before the truncated-seeming finale, the film is just chasing its own tail.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Split: A Deeper Divide
    As an election-season reminder that our democratic system isn't functioning, it serves as a welcome wake-up call
