  1. Woodstock: Three Days that Defined a Generation
    Throughout, the era-defining yet problem-plagued music festival astounds in large part for all the disasters that didn’t occur.
  2. The Souvenir
    Its stylistic fluctuations are a sign of a filmmaker really wrestling with how she became the woman and artist she is today.
  3. Aladdin
    Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake is content to trace the original’s narrative beats with perfunctory indifference.
  4. Brightburn
    The way the film shuttles through its 90 minutes, it’s as if it’s been stripped of its most crucial narrative parts.
  5. The Lighthouse
    Robert Eggers loosens the noose of veracity that choked his meticulously researched but painfully self-serious debut just enough to allow for so much absurdism to peek through.
  6. A Hidden Life
    Terrence Malick’s film means to seek out souls caught in the tide of history, but which move against its current.
  7. Rocketman
    As a musical, Dexter Fletcher’s film is just fun enough to (mostly) distract us from its superficiality.
  8. Pain and Glory
    Pedro Almodóvar’s latest only occasionally captures the spry, comedic rhythms and impassioned intensity of his finest work.
  9. Joan of Arc
    Bruno Dumont seems perpetually aware of the trap of familiarity, which may be why he indulges in some of his most inscrutable filmmaking.
  10. Zombi Child
    Bertrand Bonello’s quixotic, slow-burn genre film is political largely in the abstract.
  11. Diamantino
    The film is at its strongest when depicting how Diamantino becomes a tool of politicians hoping to oust Portugal from the EU.
  12. The Tomorrow Man
    The film is content to peddle the naïve notion that love is the panacea for all that ails you.
  13. The Dead Don't Die
    In Jim Jarmusch’s film, what starts as a subtle undercurrent of knowing humor curdles into overt self-referentiality.
  14. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
    The action choreography is as brutal as you expect, though the repetition in style from the first two films makes the effect less surprising.
  15. Perfect
    Eddie Alcazar’s film is a purposefully inscrutable, wandering, disconnected, symbolic, and highly precious mood bath.
  16. Photograph
    In pushing so many seemingly crucial moments off screen, the film transforms its main characters into blank slates.
  17. The Professor
    The film goes down easy because it saves the self-improvement clichés for the homestretch.
  18. Aniara
    The filmmakers are interested in world building only as a pretext for maintaining a tone of non-contemplative ennui.
  19. The Hustle
    Like other gender-swapped films in recent years, The Hustle plays the identity politics game as an end in itself.
  20. Charlie Says
    The film appears to be striving for humanistic understanding, but the end result is far too jumbled to have the proper impact.
  21. The Silence of Others
    Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar’s documentary is monumental for its clamorous sounding of an alarm.
  22. Pokémon Detective Pikachu
    At the very least, Ryan Reynolds’s casting perfectly splits the difference between the adorable and the absurd.
  23. My Son
    The film seeks to elevate genre clichés by slowing down the speed with which they’re typically offered.
  24. Wine Country
    The film’s relatively static approach to narrative works in scenes where the material is funny or elevated by a certain performance.
  25. The Biggest Little Farm
    The film is often quite moving in spite of its evasions, suggesting a real-life Charlotte’s Web, but one wonders what an artist with a bit more distance might’ve made of such rich material.
  26. All Is True
    It’s an unfussy, intimate chamber drama that’s fearless in confronting the attitudes of its exalted subject.
  27. Dreamland
    Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s ultimately succumbs to melodramatic clichés and simplistic political demagoguery.
  28. Tolkien
    The film preaches of the love of creative freedom, yet finds no original form of expression of its own.
  29. El Chicano
    Throughout, the film peddles notions of self-realization and self-actualization that feel nothing short of moth-eaten.
  30. The Projectionist
    Where The Projectionist ultimately excels ... is as the kind of cultural microcosm that makes Ferrara’s other documentaries feel at once urgent and incredibly rich in their broader implications.
