  1. A Rainy Day in New York
    The film’s skittishness is particularly maddening considering that Woody Allen has nothing to artistically to prove.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Song of Names
    In the end, the film is unable to bridge the gap between the emotions it elicits and the messages it imparts.
  3. Cats
    This adaptation gets straight to the heart of the material, which is basically two hours of stray cats introducing themselves.
  4. Ip Man 4: The Finale
    The film is overstuffed with characters and subplots that ultimately have little to do with Ip Man and his legacy.
  5. Invisible Life
    Only rarely does Karim Aïnouz allow for loopholes to refreshingly emerge from the film’s stylistic deadlock.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
    The film, hyper-aware of the shadow cast by the franchise’s history, struggles to both honor and redeem the past before everything comes to a close.
  7. Clemency
    Chinonye Chukwu’s film is a morality play with a true sense of contradiction and melancholia.
  8. What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael
    The documentary is enjoyable, but one suspects that its subject may have found it soft.
  9. Seberg
    Throughout, the filmmakers occlude the most fascinating and potentially powerful elements of Jean Seberg’s history.
  10. Black Christmas
    The filmmakers’ overly simplistic depiction of good and evil is mitigated to some degree by the presence of Landon (Caleb Eberhardt).
  11. Jumanji: The Next Level
    For all the emphasis on video game characters who can be swapped out on a whim, it’s the players themselves who come across as the most thinly drawn and interchangeable beneath their avatars.
  12. Chinese Portrait
    The simplicity of bodies barely moving before a camera that brings their quotidian temporality into a halt is nothing short of a radical proposition in our digital era.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Bombshell
    The film is too irreverent in tone and narrow in scope to place Roger Ailes’s criminality in a larger, more meaningful context.
  14. Empty Metal
    The film is greater in its confrontational force than the sum of a dozen festival breakthroughs lauded for their fearlessness.
  15. Richard Jewell
    Ironically, Clint Eastwood is as condescending of Jewell as the bureaucrats he despises.
  16. Cunningham
    While some individuals are inevitably more compelling than others, as a whole the entire series, and “63 Up” in particular, is completely enveloping as it draws us into the latest happenings of these people we’ve followed for so long.
  17. The Two Popes
    There isn’t anything in the bleeding-heart positions espoused by Jorge Bergoglio that complicates Pope Francis’s public persona.
  18. The Disappearance of My Mother
    It’s fascinating to see Benedetta Barzini in academic action, like an ethnographer of the patriarchy herself, bringing back news from its most glamourous yet rotten core.
  19. Midnight Family
    It’s the mix of the humane and the calculating that gives the film its empathetic power.
  20. The Aeronauts
    As a suspense film, it’s so sluggishly structured that it borders on the avant-garde.
  21. The Wolf Hour
    The film is all surface, and its depiction of trauma becomes increasingly exploitative and hollow as it moves along.
  22. Knives and Skin
    The film gets so lost in its affected idiosyncrasies that it stops probing any discernible human feelings.
  23. In Fabric
    Strickland’s film is another fetish object that rues the perils of fetishism.
  24. Daniel Isn't Real
    Its performatively extreme imagery thinly masks a rather banal view of male subjectivity and inner conflict.
  25. I See You
    The film’s tone is extremely eerie, with creeping camera movements, striking imagery, abrupt edits, and a delicately sinister score.
  26. When Lambs Become Lions
    Think Michael Mann’s Heat but in East Africa and with real-world stakes.
  27. Little Joe
    Jessica Hausner confidently expresses a thorny and disturbing theme, though perhaps with too much confidence.
  28. 1917
    The most thrilling and haunting details here are actively undermined by the chief technical gimmick of the film.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Little Women
    Individual scenes are set to the rhythm of the young women’s conversations, which at times approach Gilmore Girls-level warp speed.
  30. Feast of the Epiphany
    Its sensitivity to how something as seemingly ordinary as food can have an immense emotional impact is consistently and unobtrusively profound.
