  1. Dancer
    It refuses to pass judgment on whether or not Sergei Polunin's success was worth so much sacrifice and heartache.

    Silicon Cowboys
    Jason Cohen’s slick aesthetics manage to elevate Silicon Cowboys beyond fellow “info dumps” of this caliber.
  3. Operation Avalanche
    The film attains a chilly existential quality as Matt Johnson's character discerns the weight of his actions.
  4. Miss Stevens
    It provides materials for discussion without directing the viewer toward a particular solution or easy answer.
  5. A Beautiful Now
    Writer-director Daniela Amavia fails to link the lives of her characters to any deeper sense of meaning.
  6. Command and Control
    Robert Kenner's stylistic choices amplify the film's fetishistic fascination with the nuclear weaponry itself.
  7. Mr. Church
    Bruce Beresford's film is remarkable for how it manages to indulge so many offensive and shopworn clichés at once.
  8. Snowden
    The film depicts Edward Snowden's ethical dilemmas in a political vacuum that disregards America's increasingly complex security threats.
  9. The Dressmaker
    The frequent contemptuousness the film displays toward its characters keeps the audience at arm's length.
  10. The Apostate
    The Apostate finds humor in unusual images or situations, few resounding with lasting impact.
  11. Sully
    It presses the case that the complexity of the human condition distracts us from the pure dignity of a noble act.
  12. Peter and the Farm
    Peter and the Farm is a warts-and-all portrait that asserts its subject's sense of purpose even as it seems to slip out of his grasp.
  13. As I Open My Eyes
    Leyla Bouzid successfully dramatizes how young people eroticize peril and risk due to a lack of experience.
  14. Happy Birthday
    It plays like it was written by a bro who just discovered the early films of Quentin Tarantino.
  15. Ithaca
    The film is confused in conception, dreary in execution, and completely lacking in forward momentum.
  16. Other People
    The film is at its sharpest when Chris Kelly hands scenes over to his main character's family and friends.
  17. Author: The JT LeRoy Story
    Jeff Feuerzeig isn't skeptical enough of Laura Albert's explanations and rationalizations.
  18. Transpecos
    Violence in Transpecos is sparse, but the filmmakers use it with a narrative precision that highlights the unforgiving consequences that accompanies every choice in this desolate borderland.
  19. Kicks
    It's less notable for its originality than for how dynamically it blends a few styles that ultimately prove incompatible.
  20. Come What May
    Christian Carion's film shamelessly wrings excitement from the recreation of violent ideological conflict.
  21. The 9th Life of Louis Drax
    Every incident in the film is a time-bidding maneuver, completely and unimaginatively untethered from logic.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Antibirth
    It’s unfortunate that the only part of the film that works does so by taking the wind out of the rest of it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Game of Aces
    The characters' motivations are dictated less by the dynamics of their personalities and more by the needs of the screenplay.
  24. The Light Between Oceans
    Derek Cianfrance's film is a beautifully sustained study in adult themes of emotional crisis.
  25. White Girl
    It's an entertaining and unapologetic tale of female risk-taking, filled with clever camerawork, but the characters remain shallow.
  26. Morgan
    The film's makers lose trust in the intellectual heft of their material and chose to prioritize empty sensation instead.
  27. Skiptrace
    The film's bloated action-comedy machinery prevents any real chemistry from forming between Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville.
  28. Kickboxer: Vengeance
    It relies less on in-camera stunts than editing that renders vague gibberish of the altercations.
  29. Cameraperson
    Cameraperson is certainly a collection of memorable images, but it's more so Johnson's facility with narrative, on a micro and macro level, that impresses.
  30. Max Rose
    The film occasionally and promisingly suggests an obsessive and free-associative paean to regret.
