  1. Roofman
    The real Jeffrey Manchester may in fact have been polite, but Derek Cianfrance’s film doesn’t convince you that it needed to be as well.
  2. Him
    The film leaves you wishing that the aspirational way the sport is presented in real life had been read for filth.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Highest 2 Lowest
    The more the film diverges from Kurosawa’s, the more confident and distinguished it becomes.
  4. Honey Don't!
    The film is paced in such a languid, dreamy way that it’s hard to get a grasp on how each scene connects to the larger themes or the larger mystery until fairly late.

    Anemone
    Anemone is unable to tell a family story that lives up to its visual splendor and enigmatic atmosphere.
  6. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
    There are plenty of real-life anecdotes that Scott Cooper draws from Warren Zane’s 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, but they’re filtered through the hoariest of biopic clichés.
  7. Alpha
    The possibility of relating to the characters is constantly hindered by the struggle to make sense of the story’s messily sketched dystopia.
  8. Fixed
    The balls-out shock value doesn’t detract from the fact that Fixed is more square than its makers probably think it is.
  9. She Rides Shotgun
    Nick Rowland’s film doesn’t seem to have faith in the story the novel tells.
  10. The Lost Bus
    Paul Greengrass employs a peripatetic restlessness to the material, and while that brings an often thrilling sense of verisimilitude to the film, the cliché-stuffed screenplay too often plays against the intended solemnity of the project.
  11. Witchboard
    Some of the period action set pieces are spirited in their staging, while the film doesn’t lack for gruesome and elaborate kill sequences, which is almost enough to distract from the screenplay’s patchiness and insipid characterizations.
  12. Little, Big, and Far
    The film adopts a diaristic, epistolary form that flattens its emotional topography.
  13. Scarlet
    On paper, anime master Hosoda Mamoru’s Scarlet sounds positively electrifying.
  14. Hoppers
    It falls well short of providing any satisfying exploration of its weighty theme of persuasion versus violence in the face of oppression.

    Köln 75
    Unfortunately, for a film mainly about an assertive young woman making her way in a culture ruled by men, Köln 75 becomes far more compelling after Jarrett finally makes his entrance.
  16. Ballad of a Small Player
    The film’s ambivalent perspective on the greed and glitz of its protagonist’s world makes it difficult to invest much care in what happens to him.
  17. Anaconda
    Regrettably, the one star of Anaconda that gets the shortest shrift is the most important one: the snake.
  18. Eternity
    The film is very old-fashioned in its thinking and approach to fantastical romance, despite some occasional, vague allusions to the fact that it is, still, a 2025 film.
  19. Ella McCay
    The optimism that Ella preserves as she takes life one day at a time is compelling enough that it’s hard to get too mad about how shallow the world around her can seem.
  20. Late Shift
    For all its empathy, Late Shift upholds the dubious virtue of self-sacrifice that underpins the Protestant work ethic.
  21. Dracula
    As Dracula wears on, its lack of focus starts to grate, while Radu Jude’s deployment of profane, disreputable dialogue and imagery starts to resemble a stylistic tic more than a genuine affront to his audience’s sensibilities.
  22. 100 Nights of Hero
    The film’s brand of feminism is as skin-deep as the narrative.
  23. Late Fame
    Its desire to resist easy storytelling paradigms around artists is admirable, but without punching up or down, the film feels like it’s pulling punches altogether.
  24. The Voice of Hind Rajab
    Watching actors interact with an authentic recording of a child on the brink of death is less an invitation to audiences to wrestle with the horrors of war and more with the ethics of the film’s creative choices.
  25. Christy
    Christy lulls us into complacency by deviating little from the standard inspirational sports-movie playbook.
  26. The Ugly
    The film plays a long game with audiences that frustrates far more than it illuminates.
  27. Primate
    If only the filmmakers had put the same care and thought into their human characters, then Primate might have been worth going apeshit over.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Last One for the Road
    The Last One for the Road gives itself over to an aimlessness that doesn’t so much reflect the characters’ lives as it does the script’s lack of commitment to interiority.
  29. Greenland 2: Migration
    Greenland 2 plays out as a much more generic thriller than its predecessor.
  30. The Moment
    Farce and sincerity make more odd bedfellows across Aidan Zamiri’s meta mockumentary about Brat Summer.
