  1. The Unholy
    Writer-director Evan Spiliotopoulos barely capitalizes on the luridly sacrilegious implications of the film’s premise.
  2. Every Breath You Take
    Sam Claflin is best in show, but his performance is undercut by the film’s inability to escalate or explore the ramifications of its premise.
  3. The Man Who Sold His Skin
    Art, commerce, and immigration are inextricably bound in Kaouther Ben Hania’s playful and gently moving, if uneven, film.
  4. Funny Face
    Tim Sutton is a deft cartographer of how environments can shape its inhabitants.
  5. Godzilla vs. Kong
    Godzilla and Kong’s brawls have the ennui-inducing feel of a child arbitrarily smashing action figures together.
  6. Shiva Baby
    Emma Seligman’s film effectively builds tension from what is a relatively familiar, low-key scenario.
  7. Violation
    Violation impressively pushes against the typically straightforward trajectory of the rape-revenge film.
  8. Six Minutes to Midnight
    Andy Goddard’s film clumsily superimposes a frenzied, completely fictional spy adventure onto a fascinating fragment of pre-war history.
  9. The Vault
    The film misses the opportunity for a suspenseful interweaving of sports spectatorship and its characters’ high-stakes gambits.
  10. Shoplifters of the World
    The film lacks for the empathy, curiosity, and sense of humor that are the defining characteristics of the Smiths’s music.
  11. Nobody
    The film offers chaos by the yard with no real stakes or emotional reverberations.
  12. Enforcement
    The film is both a lurid urban thriller and an earnest parable about (almost literally) walking a mile in someone else’s shoes.
  13. The Fever
    In the film, Manaus is a place of irreconcilable tension between the lush natural world and the cold, metallic world of industrial modernity.
  14. The Courier
    Dominic Cooke’s film is content to regurgitate some of the more tired artistic tropes about the Cold War.
  15. Zack Snyder's Justice League
    The film could be taken as an intentional travesty of the superhero genre, if only it weren’t so tortuously tedious.
  16. The Inheritance
    The film’s throwback nature is in sync with Ephraim Asili’s interest in wanting to keep the legacy of black activism alive.
  17. Come True
    The film offers a glimpse of a world where screens are pores in the boundary between dreams and waking life.
  18. A Cop Movie
    Alonso Ruizpalacios voices a profound sense of powerlessness on the part of the police without sentimentalizing the abuses and biases of the profession.
  19. Cosmic Sin
    Every story beat is unimaginatively cribbed from better films and every tepid exchange of dialogue is unconvincingly performed.
  20. Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn
    After a while, it’s hard not to feel like Radu Jude is simply shooting fish in a barrel.
  21. Next Door
    Unlike Malcom & Marie, Daniel Brühl’s feature-length directorial debut proves to be authentically self-castigating.
  22. Mr. Bachmann and His Class
    The documentary exists within the very restricted pantheon of films that successfully reap the cinematic potential of pedagogy.
  23. Fabian: Going to the Dogs
    Its characters are suffused with a paradoxical kind of fear that can only happen in a dream, the dread before an immense catastrophe that’s unavoidable because it’s already happened.
  24. Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy
    Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s film is an alternately scathing, erotic, terrifying, and affirming fable of the primordial power of storytelling.
  25. Introduction
    The film is a modern melodrama of grit, beauty, jagged edges, and resonant dead ends and false starts.
  26. Coming 2 America
    Even by the woeful standards of decades-too-late comedy sequels, Coming 2 America is desperate, belabored, and thin.
  27. Petite Maman
    The film evinces Céline Sciamma’s profound knack for visual economy, communicating much with silent looks and structured absences.
  28. Boogie
    The film’s characters hardly possess a sense of a history or an interior life to adequately convey racism’s psychic toll.
  29. Keep an Eye Out
    Quentin Dupieux imbues a trite genre scenario with a Kafkaesque brand of comic existentialism.
  30. Chaos Walking
    Beneath its perfectly entertaining surface, the film is a mess of contradictions that fails to live up to its own potential.
