  1. Bobbi Jene
    Elvira Lind's film is closer to an advertisement for Bobbi Jene Smith than a film about the contemporary dancer.
  2. Ava
    The film's constant cruelty is so inescapable that it starts to feel unfair not only to the protagonist, but to Iran itself.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Charlie's Angels
    All the feminist virtue-signaling in the world can’t conceal the film’s creative conservatism.
  4. Gabriel and the Mountain
    The film seems to think that the mere recognition of Gabriel as a narcissist sufficiently complicates the character's sense of entitlement.

    Song of Granite
    It's funny that the film spends so much time caught up in Joe Heaney's feelings of displacement, because it produces a similar sensation in viewers by forgoing the work of narrative and character development in favor of a stark, elliptical style that becomes tiresome.
  6. First Kill
    Lacking any vibrancy, wit, or formal rigor, First Kill is not only as bland and leaden as its über-generic title suggests, it's downright sloppy to boot.
  7. The Upside
    The film becomes overrun by an increasingly preachy and tiresome series of life lessons about race, class, and love.
  8. White Boy Rick
    By treating its main character as exceptional, Yann Demange's film validates the punitive system it seeks to criticize.
  9. Proud Mary
    Babak Najafi’s Proud Mary is a so-so action melodrama with an insulting whiff of generic blaxploitation stylistics.
  10. Souvenir
    Huppert is such a master of her craft that even the silliest sequences give way to tour-de-force moments.
  11. Roman J. Israel, Esq.
    Throughout the film, a promising character study is smothered beneath lazy genre machinations.
  12. Pilgrimage
    The film remains too uncompromisingly black and white as a character study and a story of the conflicts of faith.
  13. Gemini Man
    Whatever new technology facilitated its genesis, the film is just another assembly-line reproduction.
  14. Molly's Game
    There's a blank space at the core of Molly's Game that the protagonist cannot fill, unable as she is to represent anything beyond her esoteric narrative of unorthodox self-actualization.
  15. The Wrong Light
    The divide between meaningful journalism and ethical filmmaking seldom seems as wide as it does in The Wrong Light.
  16. Fun Mom Dinner
    The film is lazily content to simply put its female characters through the potty-mouthed, gross-out comedy ringer.
  17. Lemon
    Self-absorption is Janicza Bravo’s focus, though—as in other smug and mock-ironic comedies—it’s a topic that’s less examined than indulged.
  18. Where'd You Go, Bernadette
    The film is a curiously anodyne affair that proposes the distinctly unenlightening idea that the medicine against despair is just a little R&R.
  19. The Good Catholic
    Despite The Good Catholic‘s interesting macro approach compared to other films of its ilk, it’s far less successful on a micro level.
  20. Mister Universo
    The film eventually replaces the captivating smallness of everyday life with an inconsequential drama.
  21. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
    One may wish that the entire film had restaged the entirely of Tchaikovsky's ballet rather than reimagine it as an ultimately lifeless epic fantasy.
  22. Loving Vincent
    Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman's film is driven by an off-putting and oxymoronic fusion of reverence and egotism.
  23. The Leisure Seeker
    No matter how likable Sutherland and Mirren are, they're still stuck in little more than an upbeat wish-fulfillment fantasy.
  24. England Is Mine
    England Is Mine is a tour ride through a legend’s formative years that’s more concerned with the familiar signposts than the intricacies of the scenery along the way.
  25. Rebel in the Rye
    The whole affair suggests dramatic Tetris, and it leeches the artist and his process of any mystery.
  26. What Happened to Monday
    Tommy Wirkola’s film squanders an evocative premise in favor of rote gun-fu carnage.
  27. Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
    The film curiously steers toward surmising Hedy Lamarr's psychological state as it pertained to love and pleasure.
  28. The Queen of Spain
    Fernando Trueba fails to probe the political implications of The Queen of Spain's period milieu, which is particularly confounding given the filmmaker’s evident anti-fascist sympathies.
  29. 6 Days
    6 Days boils down the intricate relationship between Iran and the West into a tense standoff of conflicting ideals where the values and perspectives of only one side really matter.
  30. Super Troopers 2
    Given the sheer amount of comic material here, some of the jokes are bound to fall flat, but the hit-to-miss ratio is depressingly low.
