  1. Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)
    The film doesn’t totally succeed in capturing the show’s scope or thematic through line.
  2. Mortal Kombat II
    Mortal Kombat II is done waiting around. It’s ravenous to get down to bloody business.
  3. Silent Friend
    Despite loose ends, it’s one of the most dreamily affectionate (and affectionately critical) portrayals of the natural sciences ever committed to the screen.

    The Python Hunt
    The at times overbearing aesthetic touch isn’t enough to diminish the film’s saliency.
  5. Blue Film
    On the whole, Blue Film’s raw, skin-crawling interrogations of aberrant sexuality and trauma ring fearless and true.
  6. The Devil Wears Prada 2
    Befitting its image-conscious milieu, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has the aspartame fake-sweetness and zero-calorie comfort of its predecessor: It’s charming enough in the moment but you’ll be hungry again half an hour later.
  7. One Spoon of Chocolate
    The slower it moves, the more obvious One Spoon of Chocolate’s deficiencies become.
  8. Two Pianos
    Arnaud Desplechin’s film only flirts with questions about the sacrifices made for art.
  9. Hokum
    Damian McCarthy threads the needle between supplying old-school scares and a richly layered character piece that also functions as a meditation on his own perspective as a storyteller.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Two Seasons, Two Strangers
    In beautifully quiet ways, Two Seasons, Two Strangers captures its characters in the realm of the ineffable, making the mundane utterly sublime.
  11. Over Your Dead Body
    Once it turns into a home-invasion thriller, the film becomes more sadistic than hilarious.
  12. Power Ballad
    Like the fraught relationship between its two musician characters, the film never finds the right groove.
  13. Michael
    The film turns the realities of a tragic, deeply complicated life into a sanitized popcorn film.
  14. Lee Cronin's The Mummy
    In lieu of any competently developed drama, we get a blitzkrieg of scares and gooey body horror that can best be described as arbitrary.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo)
    Across the film, Joel Alfonso Vargas delivers an intimately observed portrait of Rico and the Bronx’s Dominican community, folding warmth into the very real pressures that define daily life.
  16. Amrum
    Fatih Akin’s Amrum is a delicate coming-of-age parable tracking national identity and violence to their most intimate origin points during the waning days of the Third Reich.
  17. Mother Mary
    The film is a boldly theatrical pop exorcism where the wounds of the past serve as a gateway to forces that can consume or lift the possessed to ecstatic new levels of self-expression.
  18. ChaO
    The narrative is nonsense, but it’s at least an arch and sweet kind of nonsense as it jumps through its fairy-tale hoops on the way to the next splash of artful color and manically doodled creativity.
  19. Fiume o morte!
    Igor Bezinović plays up the farcical side of history in Fiume o Morte!, his innovative docudrama retelling of Italian fascist poet Gabriele D’Annunzio’s short-lived occupation of Rijeka, Croatia, in 1920.
  20. Faces of Death
    For a film that’s so well versed not only in the genre but in its tendencies to recreate and recycle itself, it’s disappointing to see Faces of Death do so in such slavish fashion.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Christophers
    The film brims with hilarious dialogue, lightly satirical observations of a culture that treats art as a commodity, and satisfying payoffs to a number of story elements planted early on.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Mermaid
    Ultimately, Mermaid shows how loneliness can un-anchor a person, and it makes you understand how any lost sailor might fall for the first thing, no matter what it is, that breaks it.
  23. Hamlet
    Aneil Karia’s Hamlet, which is nearly defined by its handheld camerawork and the medium close-ups on Riz Ahmed’s face, is one of the more intimate adaptations of Shakespeare’s play to date.
  24. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
    The film has, figuratively and literally, somehow even less gravity than its source material and predecessor. The visual language is divorced from reality and referent to the games; even Looney Tunes action is grounded in the real world—the better to subvert it.
  25. The Drama
    Kristoffer Borgli delights in creating a hypothetical trap for his lovers, but he also acknowledges that there’s something romantic about being stuck in it together.
  26. The Stranger
    François Ozon’s adaptation of Albert Camus’s novel is haunting, transportive, and tragically humanist, a worthy introduction to the text for the skeptical (or a refresher for the lapsed) and a memorably grim drama in its own right.
  27. Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
    BenDavid Grabinski’s film is less of a crime drama than a punch-drunk comedy of errors.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    They Will Kill You
    This is a film that’s content to imitate its influences rather than build an identity of its own.
  29. Pretty Lethal
    The film is lean, mean, and feisty, even if it doesn’t quite stick the landing.
  30. Forbidden Fruits
    The film is a witchy mall comedy that mostly keeps you under its spell.
