  1. Crazy Wisdom: The Life & Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
    Part of the issue here may be the nature of the talking heads themselves, most of whom are culled from Trungpa's inner circle and lack the objectivity needed to properly judge his philosophy or make it accessible.
  2. Carnage Park
    The film covers "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" by way of Rob Zombie, Quentin Tarantino, and Ti West.
  3. Bullet to the Head
    Walter Hill thoughtfully regards the pummeling power of weaponry at work.
  4. The Den
    The film is dizzyingly creepy in its refracting of horrors through the cascading windows of computer programs we've come to understand more intimately than our own selves.
  5. God's Fiddler: Jascha Heifetz
    If the film were in fact a pastry, it might look like the first effort of a blind baker, wildly uneven and inconsistent in ingredient distribution.
  6. Kiss of the Damned
    Xan Cassavetes cops to nothing more significant than being more keen on Vampyros Lesbos than anyone else from her clan of famous cinephiles.
  7. Cat Person
    Cat Person only succeeds when it stays in a space of mystery and unknowing.
  8. The Girl on the Train
    It forgoes its promise of twisty adult thrills in favor of a grimly deadpan lecture about messy truths and false perceptions.
  9. Gold
    Throughout, Efron seems almost determined to wipe away the last vestiges of his youthful looks.
  10. One Day
    One Day conveys a real sense of the poignancy of individual lives unfolding over time, but the film's ultimate embrace of conventionality ultimately undercuts the not inconsiderable accomplishments the project had worked so hard to achieve.
  11. Gerontophilia
    It chooses the delicateness of a fable instead of the narrative recklessness we've come to expect from Bruce La Bruce.
  12. Hungry Hearts
    Throughout, Saverio Costanzo hypocritically drapes his scenes in a cloak of faux-empathy.
  13. The Secrets We Keep
    The film is ultimately too tidy to embrace anything truly startling or unexpected, either stylistically or narratively.
  14. Tolkien
    The film preaches of the love of creative freedom, yet finds no original form of expression of its own.
  15. Small, Beautifully Moving Parts
    Gentler and less aesthetically assaultive than offerings like 0s & 1s and Catfish, but it's not necessarily any subtler or more enlightening.
  16. The Perfect Host
    Although it fancies itself as rigidly complex as a well-played chess match, Nick Tomnay's The Perfect Host is really a game without any rules, one where characters and situations exist in total thrall of the next shocking twist.
  17. Porto
    It grapples with emotional enigma of infatuation, and the question of how such a mighty force can also be so fleeting.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Admission
    The estrogenic elements prove widely ineffectual, but they're just pieces of this overlong, overloaded misfire whose double-entendre title ultimately just goads the jaded viewer to admit defeat.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Womb
    Too abstract to suggest a coherent moral lesson, but too remote to foster a satisfying emotional connection, Womb feels barren, an attempt to do too much that ultimately does very little.
  20. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
    Quantumania feels less the start of a new phase of Marvel films than a tired retread of adventures we’ve already been on.
  21. Seducing Charlie Barker
    Charlie is a stereotype who doesn't know it--basically your typical broke dude in a near midlife crisis who thinks he's the first to have his dull problems.
  22. Kampai! For the Love of Sake
    Mirai Konishi's documentary inevitably reveals itself to be an elaborate infomercial for Westerners.
  23. The Scary of Sixty-First
    In a way, the film feels like a true heir to the petulant, low-budget horror cinema of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Call of the Wild
    The film’s avoidance of cruel Gold Rush realities is more than made up for by its spirited kineticism and by its deepening of the man-dog bond that forms the heart of London’s story.
  25. The FP
    The FP has a one-note joke of a conceit, and when that runs out, it has few actual jokes to fill the humorless void.
  26. Don't Worry Darling
    Don’t Worry Darling has the swing-for-the-fences ambition that should have at least made it a noble and compelling folly, but its repetitiveness frustratingly undercuts its grandiosity.
  27. Leap!
    The film’s careful attention to detail in the animation is continuously undermined by a formulaic plot and anxious pandering to contemporary sensibilities.
  28. First Comes Love
    Nina Davenport doesn't seem interested in taming her unwieldy vanity, and thus her documentary reads as a Match.com profile recontextualized as cinema narcissismo.
  29. I Feel Pretty
    Rather than pointing the finger at society for inducing insecurity in women, I Feel Pretty suggests the onus is on women to change their attitudes.
  30. Yelling to the Sky
    The film avoids most of its genre's pratfalls, though it also shows little interest in transcending them.
