  1. Hieronymus Bosch, Touched by the Devil
    It highlights how the ownership of art serves as a marker of capital for distinguishing one institution over another.
  2. Equity
    The film ultimately succeeds in offering a fresh female-centered perspective on its genre material.
  3. Tallulah
    Relevant facts about each character are dutifully punched out, in earnest speeches or actions that are often wildly overdrawn.
  4. Lights Out
    Few horror films are as insistent about the trauma mental illness inflicts on families as Lights Out, and still fewer are so insensitive about it.
  5. Star Trek Beyond
    Stark Trek Beyond emphasizes the inter-personal dynamics of the USS Enterprise, and functions best as an extended team-building exercise.
  6. Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
    There's something to be said for a summer movie that offers up Chris Colfer as an unapologetic misogynist hairdresser.
  7. For the Plasma
    The film, whose disparate narrative threads unsurprisingly never connect, drowns in weirdness for its own sake.
  8. The Childhood of a Leader
    Brady Corbet reaches for a dreary self-importance akin to Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon.
  9. Summertime
    Catherine Corsini depicts feminists in lighthearted ways, at once humorously caricatured and sensitively human.
  10. Ice Age: Collision Course
    If Ice Age: Collision Course gleefully fails at being a history lesson, at least it offers an energetic recess from reality.
  11. Train to Busan
    When divorced of message-mongering, the film’s scare tactics are among the most distinctive that the zombie canon has ever seen.
  12. The Seventh Fire
    The documentary renders poverty a mysterious entity instead of a curable malady of systemic exclusion.
  13. Don't Think Twice
    It displays an intimate chemical understanding of the exhausting and unrelentingly impotent agony of failure.
  14. Sea Fog
    The film fails to lift off from this sturdy aesthetic launching pad; it never allows the characters, however stock, to evolve in their respective dealings with one another, which is the primary source of tension and escalation for a thriller set in a confined place.
  15. Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party
    The film is an incoherent and aesthetically barren harangue masquerading as a revisionist history lesson.
  16. Captain Fantastic
    The film is premised on a radical act that it buries beneath a grueling avalanche of quirk.
  17. Demon
    Demon offers a tidal wave of unrelieved longing and regret, with a devilish streak of absurdism.
  18. Phantom Boy
    The filmmakers are thankfully willing to render, with unremitting vigor, how grief can batter the human heart.
  19. Ghostbusters
    When it's good, this new Ghostbusters is funny, driven, sometimes even a bit scary.
  20. The Infiltrator
    Its clunky incidents of exposition leave us with no real understanding of what anyone is thinking or feeling.
  21. Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru
    Director Joe Berlinger essentially allows his subject to hijack the film for his own end.
  22. Café Society
    As clarified potently by the film, most of life is spent distracting oneself from matters of the closest personal significance.
  23. Hooligan Sparrow
    The Nanfu Wang film's noble aims are mirrored in its more frustrating and conventional qualities.
  24. My King
    Maïwenn fashions a bracing film about co-dependency, capturing the erotic contours of subservience and flattery.
  25. Free to Run
    The doc's caginess is a weakness that results from an inherently nostalgic sense of reverie.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Zero Days
    Director Alex Gibney does this vital material a disservice, giving it an air of deflated pomposity.
  27. Under the Sun
    Under the Sun's overall aesthetic identifies a willingness to settle for an easy condemnation of an obviously abysmal regime, while not doing anything challenging or enlightening with all the outstanding footage collected.
  28. The Secret Life of Pets
    The film's messy pile-up of comic diversions can be exhilarating in the moment—the chaos of an id given free rein.
  29. Men Go to Battle
    It's too texturally exacting in its recreation of a transitory moment in U.S. history to register as a failure.
  30. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
    Much like with Neighbors 2, Mike and Dave’s obvious ace in the hole is its commitment to gender parity.
