  1. Snow White
    This is a fairly paint-by-numbers exercise in updating a quintessential but unquestionably quaint property for modern consumption.
  2. Locked
    Throughout, the filmmakers’ sympathies are lost in a confusing haze of cynicism.
  3. Ash
    Flying Lotus and his collaborators give Ash enough visual flair to occasionally transcend such limitations as forgettable characters with fuzzy motivations.
  4. The Assessment
    The Assessment works its way through intriguing conundrums about the motivations and qualifications of parenthood, as well as the power dynamics at play between parents and children.
  5. The Electric State
    There's nothing behind its contemptible eyes, no spine to house the fading diode that once contained a soul.
  6. Holland
    The discomfort in watching Holland is not knowing if something is intended or, like the main character, you’re looking for things that aren’t there.
  7. Opus
    The film takes dozens of different anecdotes about cults and celebrities and manages to render them pedestrian, unoriginal, staid.
  8. Drop
    The film knows that when the stakes are sky high, the emotions need to be firmly grounded.
  9. McVeigh
    McVeigh’s ominous atmosphere is omnipresent, clinging to Timothy like a dog to a bone.
  10. An Unfinished Film
    If the frames of Lou’s previous work suggested that reality was something that could be unlocked and unfurled, An Unfinished Film’s presentation of reality as it basically was unfortunately gives the filmmaker, and the audience, little to discover.
  11. Young Hearts
    The film truthfully hints at the sharp whirs behind the smooth façade of everyday life.
  12. Death of a Unicorn
    Death of a Unicorn taps into the anti-capitalist strain in late-20th-century monster movies from Alien to Jurassic Park by tracing a clever through line from the unicorns of antiquity to the present.
  13. The Ballad of Wallis Island
    The Ballad of Wallis Island plays both its drama and comedy in decidedly minor keys, straining neither for grand emotional revelations nor big laughs.
  14. Novocaine
    We’re used to heroes who can take a licking and keep on ticking, but Novocaine takes action-movie invulnerability to brutal comic extremes.
  15. Bob Trevino Likes It
    It has its very powerful moments, but the oddly linear, untroubled journey of its two main characters robs the film of some of its emotional authenticity.
  16. Black Bag
    By the time the film comes to the end of its brisk runtime, it feels like nothing much has actually happened, despite all the narrative convolutions.
  17. Mickey 17
    Though Mickey 17 can feel like a mixtape of Bong’s greatest hits, it may actually be his most refined and articulate anti-capitalistic critique to date.
  18. In the Lost Lands
    The film provides Paul W.S. Anderson with a sturdy canvas for his unique brand of gaudy, campy cool.
  19. Long Day's Journey Into Night
    Ed Harris and Jessica Lange electrifyingly bring so many of their characters’ emotions to the surface, even as they convey that James and Mary are burying so much more beneath it.
  20. You Burn Me
    Matías Piñeiro’s film is an intimate, impressionistic meditation on love and desire, death and memory, silence and expression.
  21. The Surfer
    When The Surfer does break out of the sun-addled fugue state that marks its midsection, it delivers a gonzo finale that lets Nicolas Cage rev himself up into his most manic, meme-able self.
  22. Seven Veils
    The film’s pleasures are ultimately more textural and academic than those of Tár.
  23. The Visitor
    The Visitor ultimately posits a vision of transcendence through anarchy, seeing repression as the enemy of social progress.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There's Still Tomorrow
    It’s a film about domestic violence that, while clearly intended as an homage to Italian neorealism, finds levity through choreographed musical numbers and moments of light magical realism.
  25. The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
    The film’s open affection for the Looney Tunes franchise has a restorative quality.
  26. The Empire
    Notable as it is for evoking a kind of cosmic banality, writer-director Bruno Dumont’s anti-space opera The Empire runs into same the pitfall as many parodies of its kind.
  27. The Rule of Jenny Pen
    The film single-mindedly sees its elderly characters as objects of disgust or receptacles for harm.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The Klezmer Project
    As with a traditional documentary, The Klezmer Project is affected by forces outside the filmmakers’ control.
  29. The Blue Trail
    An empowering narrative of one woman who refuses to see age as a ceiling, the film serves as a potent warning for viewers about the marginalization of the elderly.
  30. Compensation
    Compensation deftly uses intimate methods of character identification to encourage the viewer to imbibe the larger history lived through those figures.
