  1. The Guilty
    This is an engaging, no-frills entertainment that still fails to justify its reason for being.
  2. The Nowhere Inn
    The film is elevated by funny, cleverly staged sequences, but it too often hammers the notion that fame destroys authenticity.
  3. The Mad Women's Ball
    The film capsizes in the absence of a compelling center for Mélanie Laurent to hang her directorial panache.
  4. Dune: Part One
    Dune ends up feeling like an extended prologue for what one can only hope will be a sequel that will clarify its parables and paradoxes.
  5. Last Night in Soho
    In the end, Edgar Wright isn’t particularly interested in taking aim at all that is dark in the zealotry that shapes a culture.
  6. Unclenching the Fists
    Unclenching the Fists is a tale of how the desolation of a nation inhabits and engraves a woman’s body.
  7. France
    France indecisively utilizes a news personality’s crocodile tears as a symbol of the bad faith that pervades news discourse.
  8. Dug Dug
    The film is marked by an empathetic understanding of the inkling of belief that can be exhumed from even the most rational of minds.
  9. Wife of a Spy
    Wife of a Spy could use a streak of live-wire, huckster crudeness, a bit of melodrama delivered in an unselfconscious manner.
  10. Ali & Ava
    Ali & Ava once again showcases Clio Barnard’s uncanny ability to capture the insoluble complexities of life.
  11. Spencer
    Pablo Larraín’s film readily conjures a paranoia-suffused atmosphere of fear for what might happen at any moment.
  12. Neptune Frost
    The film thrillingly captures the social, economic, political, and material character of Rwanda in the age of global communication.
  13. The Duke
    The film misses an opportunity to delve particularly deeply into the keenly relevant issues of inequality and social disconnection that so animate its protagonist.
  14. Intregalde
    Întregalde is a sharply drawn and subtle fable about the meaning of charity and the limits of altruism.
  15. The Voyeurs
    It’s hard to deny that Michael Mohan’s preposterous fable doesn’t exert the dark pull of voyeurism itself.
  16. Queenpins
    The film’s largely painful humor is informed by the mistaken belief that the main characters’ criminal enterprise is inherently quirky.
  17. Kate
    Kate will leave you wishing that its narrative possessed the same attention to detail as its elaborately violent action set pieces.
  18. The Card Counter
    Paul Schrader’s film grows more heated and crazed as the chaos of the past bleeds into a repressed present.
  19. Anne at 13,000 ft
    The film intimately immerses us in the psyche of a woman for whom each day is a minefield of uncomfortable interactions.
  20. I'm Your Man
    The film’s disarming romcom sensibilities are an unlikely yet fitting vehicle for timely ruminations on AI.
  21. Yakuza Princess
    This grimly self-serious tale of violent destiny is consistently drowned out by Vicente Amorim’s overreaching visual style.
  22. Who You Think I Am
    Unlike the novel, the film ultimately trades its main character’s account of her own suffering for her therapist’s pathologizing assessment.
  23. Memory House
    Memory House, much like Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Donnelles’s recent Bacarau, makes no secret of its disgust for neocolonialism, capitalism, or fascism, though it’s more skeptical of violent resistance even when exercised in self-defense.
  24. We Need to Do Something
    We Need to Do Something mainly succeeds at suggesting a more compelling film beyond its bathroom walls.
  25. Cinderella
    With an overload of winking, Kay Cannon’s Cinderella displays a contemptuous attitude toward fairy tales in general.
  26. Mogul Mowgli
    The film’s poignancy derives from its profound understanding of its main character’s identity crisis.
  27. The Year of the Everlasting Storm
    These shorts capture everything from how fear of the unknown can rewire relationships to the natural world exerts its pull on us all.
  28. Candyman
    Candyman doesn’t merely note the connection between fear and remembrance, it also interrogates it from every possible angle.
  29. Mosquito State
    The film hauntingly suggests that a man’s most rational move in a rigged society is to fade away into the ecosystem.
  30. No Man of God
    As an exploration of the misogyny that drove Bundy’s crimes, Amber Sealey’s film mostly falls short of its potential.
