  1. Love Again
    The film is nothing but a chintzy promotional tool for Celine Dion.
  2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
    The film undermines its initial sense of intimacy and momentum with a stop-and-start story structure that by and large exists to make as much room as possible for its characters’ banter.
  3. Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World
    The film stumbles sluggishly from one chapter in Foreman’s life to the next.
  4. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
    The sense that they don’t make mass entertainments like this anymore is palpable.
  5. Winter Boy
    Christophe Honoré’s film tackles grief in a subtle, intriguingly indirect manner.
  6. The Eight Mountains
    The film is a meditative, slow crescendo of wounded feelings and quiet epiphanies.
  7. Evil Dead Rise
    Lee Cronin serves up considerable gore with monotonous, po-faced earnestness.
  8. Trenque Lauquen Parte II
    Throughout the film, Laura Citarella emphasizes the liberating quality of following the rabbit hole as deep as it goes.
  9. Trenque Lauquen Parte I
    Throughout the film, Laura Citarella emphasizes the liberating quality of following the rabbit hole as deep as it goes.
  10. Plan 75
    Because so much of Hayakawa’s film is given over to depictions of the procedures, formalities, and impersonal administration that define Plan 75, even the tiniest spark of feeling comes as a relief.
  11. Dry Ground Burning
    The film surprises by revealing deeper layers to both its subjects and social commentary.
  12. Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant
    The film bangs the drum loudly on behalf of American exceptionalism.
  13. Other People's Children
    The film’s most authentic moments are those that leave its main character breathless, cutting her plans for making up for lost time short.
  14. Somewhere in Queens
    Many of the character actors occasionally elevate the film above some of the more clichéd family humor.
  15. Carmen
    By stripping the story back to its most elemental form, Benjamin Millepied makes it feel mythic, poetic, and captivatingly romantic.
  16. Renfield
    The film frustratingly shrouds Nicholas Cage’s manic intensity in thick blankets of winking irony.
  17. Beau Is Afraid
    With Beau Is Afraid, his third and easily most ambitious feature to date, Ari Aster traces, to more cosmic and absurd ends, how tragedy is birthed by, well, birth itself.
  18. Human Flowers of Flesh
    There’s an emptiness to Helena Wittmann’s Human Flowers of Flesh that no amount of striking cinematography, thematic suggestion, and allusions to Jean Painlevé can disguise.
  19. Suzume
    The film is consistently delightful, offering up an unrelenting supply of shimmering, sun-dappled visuals and a sweet, strange story about a young girl making peace with her past.
  20. Passion
    Passion already finds Hamaguchi Ryûsuke to be a superb orchestrator of moods and tones.
  21. Sick of Myself
    Kristoffer Borgli is unduly proud of himself for concocting his unlikable protagonists, and he marinates in their repulsive self-absorption.
  22. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
    Some pleasingly odd visuals and a sustained off-kilter mood will likely please many animation fans who haven’t had any exposure to the source material, but Pierre Foldes’s film ultimately fails to create any clear identity of its own.
  23. Country Gold
    For all its formal playfulness, the film never loses its grip on the interior lives to its characters.
  24. Paint
    The film doesn’t have a clear opinion on its main subject and the scourge of misogyny in media.
  25. Joyland
    Joyland is full of extraordinary situations that prevent it from being defined by its topicality or tantamount to a badge of honor.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    The Super Mario Bros. Movie
    The film feels like it’s content to check off to-do notes and scratch the viewer’s nostalgia itch.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
    The overreliance on wisecracks and employing, and then mocking, clichés make it seem as if Honor Among Thieves is outright embarrassed by its source material and wants you to know it.
  28. In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis
    The film unfolds at an excessive remove from its subject matter, and it becomes less an incisive thesis about the pope than an occasion for Gianfranco Rosi to flex his stylistic muscles.
  29. A Thousand and One
    The film brims with authenticity and the electrifying emotional intensity of the best melodramas.
  30. Tetris
    There’s a riveting story somewhere here about the crumbling of the Soviet Union and the stranglehold of capitalism on ’80s culture, but Tetris never quite locates it.
