  1. Love Life
    Because we’re tasked with inferring so much about the characters, especially their pasts, so much of the film’s romance is unconvincing.
  2. Meg 2: The Trench
    If your hook is the promise of seeing Jason Statham go mano a mano with prehistoric sea behemoths, then leaning into the ludicrous is the only way to go.
  3. Mob Land
    John Travolta’s scenes are islands of tranquility in a jittery sea of rote crime-movie pyrotechnics.
  4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a film that feels ripped right out of a high school art-class notebook, and sounds like a Twitch stream.
  5. Corner Office
    The film goes to show that humanism and absurdism are often two expressions of the same face.
  6. Dreamin' Wild
    The elegantly underplayed performances ensure that the film never succumbs to melodrama.
  7. Haunted Mansion
    The film handily invokes the campiness of the iconic Disneyland attraction, if not its kinetics.
  8. Our Body
    Our Body offers, in its unwavering commitment to staring at the fragility of life in the eye, a solace devoid of romanticism or spiritual self-delusion.

    Lady Killer (Gueule d’Amour)
    Exquisite and disturbing, Gueule d’Amour is still one of the screen’s least seen masterpieces.
  10. War Pony
    The filmmakers never effectively detail the characters’ relation to the various cultural, psychological, or historical intricacies of their milieu.
  11. Sympathy for the Devil
    With copious scenes of Nicolas Cage going buck wild, it can hardly be faulted for failing to give audiences what they want.
  12. Kokomo City
    The film’s most significant accomplishment is the mood it crafts with its cool black-and-white images, fast-paced editing, unorthodox camera angles, handheld camera, and overall jazzy atmosphere.
  13. The First Slam Dunk
    The First Slam Dunk is able to throw a relentless series of new gambits, twists, and reversals at the screen that will keep even seasoned sports film fans on the edge of their seat.
  14. The Beasts
    The film is as much about the beastliness of outmoded machismo as it is about the perseverance and fortitude of women in opposition to it.
  15. Return to Dust
    The film is best in moments when the bond between two outcasts is made corporeal and fully present.
  16. Cobweb
    As tantalizing as the film’s ambiguity can be in certain moments, there comes a point where it starts to feel at once half-baked and a transparent means of delaying the inevitable.
  17. Oppenheimer
    For better and worse, Nolan has often turned to practical and scientific means to demystify his films’ subjects, be it dreams, magic, or the impossible antics of one particularly traumatized billionaire orphan. His best work (The Prestige, Interstellar) ultimately resists the comedown that can accompany such explication as the material retains some fundamental sense of wonder.
  18. Barbie
    The film is at once a journey of self-actualization and a testament to female solidarity.
  19. They Cloned Tyrone
    The satire here isn’t quite as on point as that of its predecessors, but it helps that Boyega, Parris, and Foxx share the sort of chemistry that even the most secretive government lab couldn’t cook up.
  20. Two Tickets to Greece
    The film can never quite decide to what extent it wants to be either a light-hearted raunchy comedy or a darker comedic assessment of contemporary life.
  21. Theater Camp
    The film feels like sitting through extended acting exercises where everyone is giving it 110% every take.
  22. The Miracle Club
    In the end, The Miracle Club is splintered at the seams between its desire to tell an uplifting story of forgiveness and a cheeky tale of patriarchal floundering, all the while doing both a tremendous disservice.
  23. The Out-Laws
    The Out-Laws shines when it spotlights the committed performances of its cast.
  24. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
    The action consistently snaps the film into focus, but it also further illustrates how badly the decision to split this narrative into two parts throws off the delicate rhythm that’s made Mission: Impossible arguably the most consistently entertaining American action franchise of all time.
  25. Amanda
    Carolina Cavalli’s film consecrates a ferocity as refreshing as it is infectious.
  26. The Line
    The Line isn’t without its moments of genuine beauty, but it’s difficult to shake that its distinct lack of a clear story hasn’t given enough space to the characters.
  27. Earth Mama
    Despite Earth Mama’s bleak subject matter, it exudes a beatific warmth, in large part because Leaf takes remarkable pains to dramatize a web of solidarity between a group of Black women alongside her depiction of the very system that disenfranchises them.
  28. Biosphere
    Mel Eslyn’s film is a thoughtful drama about life, gender, and male friendship.
  29. The Lesson
    It’s a testament to the skills of the cast and filmmakers that The Lesson’s mysteries, while easy to foretell, are worth unraveling.
  30. The League
    At its most engrossing, the film vibrantly sketches out the historical roots of the Negro baseball leagues.
