  1. My Big Night
    Álex de la Iglesia's film is an explosion of kitsch, an intensely formalized mixture of farce and tragedy.
  2. Colonia
    Nothing more than leftwing exploitation cinema, a cheap thriller dressed up in the guise of a social-justice exposé.
  3. Sing Street
    All traces of grit from John Carney's earlier films have been scrubbed away in favor of relentlessly crowd-pleasing slickness.
  4. Green Room
    The film is an unambiguous endorsement of violent revolt as the only effective response to such inhuman savagery.
  5. Above and Below
    The documentary lingers on silences and reveals its subjects only through moments of quotidian behavior.
  6. Rio, I Love You
    The hygienization of Rio into what at times looks like a soulless Southern California town is so scandalous it feels like a spoof of the Cities of Love series.
  7. An Eye for Beauty
    Denys Arcand fashions a commandingly leisurely pace that allows us to follow these people who walk a tightrope separating ecstasy from misery.
  8. The Adderall Diaries
    It's too busy skipping through subplots to do much more than gloss over such heady issues as the fundamental subjectivity of truth and self-identity.
  9. The Boss
    The incongruity between Melissa McCarthy's eagerness as a performer and her character's total lack of compassion makes the film somehow both restless and tedious.
  10. Vita Activa: The Spirit of Hannah Arendt
    It reduces its historical moment to a series of vignettes and voiceovers, each evincing a curiously tone-deaf sentimentality.
  11. Louder Than Bombs
    Louder Than Bombs is a parable that takes depression seriously as a condition and a state of being.
  12. Demolition
    It takes its literalism to such an extreme that, at points, it's difficult to determine whether or not the film is operating with a semblance of irony.
  13. 11 Minutes
    Jerzy Skolimowski's formal control over the material is so masterful that the textual particulars are revealed to be beside the point.
  14. The Invitation
    A charged, unnerving turn of the screw, The Invitation is consumed by the fear of forgetting.
  15. The Blue Hour
    An initially intriguing attempt to splice together a gay romance and a horror film that ultimately shows little flair for either genre.
  16. Mr. Right
    It has a bouncy sense of lunacy, wearing its derivative junkiness on its sleeve with surprising lightness of authority.
  17. Hardcore Henry
    The film's unbelievably precise choreography of action seeks to tap into a universal feeling of powerlessness.
  18. Everybody Wants Some!!
    Richard Linklater's film luxuriates in a world that's the platonic ideal of youthful indulgence.
  19. Darling
    The film's aesthetic is striking, but feels almost intangibly derivative, most obviously suggesting an austere cover of Repulsion.
  20. Right Now, Wrong Then
    Spotting and processing the countless differences between the parts offers pleasures on various levels.
  21. Standing Tall
    The film quickly devolves into a contemptible, exploitative presentation of sociological matters.
  22. Kill Your Friends
    Thanks to a strong performance by Nicholas Hoult, all reptilian sinew and heroin-chic vacuity, it keeps threatening to become more dynamic and self-critical than its final result.
  23. Too Late
    All the narrative hopscotching is little more than a superficial ploy to gussy up a clichéd redemption tale.
  24. Notfilm
    Ross Lipman's gloriously egalitarian approach to culture means that his complex argumentation never becomes inaccessible.
  25. I Don't Belong Anywhere: The Cinema of Chantal Akerman
    The documentary is an attempt to capture something of Akerman's infectious spirit and thirst for worldly experience, as both an artist and a human being.
  26. Francofonia
    For all its congratulatory spirit, the film has the persistent feeling of an elegy bidding adieu to a bygone time.
  27. The Dark Horse
    Despite the occasional cliché, this film mostly feels as messy as life, and as movingly complicated.
  28. The Girl in the Photographs
    The film is ultimately devoted to formula, as Nick Simon discards his jumbled meta-media conceit at around the halfway mark.
  29. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    A sequel that functions as origin story, apologia, and harbinger of a second expanded universe of overpopulated action bonanzas.
  30. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    As far as shameless excuses to rehash crowd-pleasing gags from the first film go, it doesn't particularly go about its duties cynically.
