  1. Birdeater
    Weir and Clark have crafted an absurdly stylish film that is never content to rest on its ambitious visual scope, burrowing under your skin for an eerie glimpse at how men in their youth form bonds with one another that can slowly spin out of control as time passes.
  2. Franz
    A refreshingly eccentric spin on the staid biopic.
  3. The Greatest Night in Pop
    As far as celebratory backward glances go, it’s compelling enough to temporarily brighten one’s day.
  4. The Deepest Breath
    A story of courage, trust and tragedy, the last of which materializes in ways that are at once shattering and uplifting.
  5. Carry-On
    This breakneck Netflix offering confirms the enduring vitality of its chosen formula—and, in the process, proves an unexpected and welcome Yuletide streaming gift.
  6. The Luckiest Man in America
    A pleasant and well-acted curio, and little more.
  7. Thunderbolts*
    With Florence Pugh as the intensely magnetic center of this ramshackle maelstrom, and despite a couple of familiar Marvel shortcomings, it’s a protean superhero saga that stands on its own—regardless of its title’s qualifying asterisk.
  8. F1: The Movie
    An old-school Jerry Bruckheimer-produced spectacular, albeit one that never deviates from a familiar summer blockbuster course and, consequently, fails to truly kick into adrenalized overdrive.
  9. Omen
    Makes up for any narrative patchiness with a bevy of unforgettable images and an attendant sense of ancient beliefs and rituals that divide as much as they unite.
  10. A Quiet Place: Day One
    Courtesy of an intense lead performance from Lupita Nyong’o, it packs a moderate silent-but-deadly punch.
  11. Crime 101
    A film that lives up to its title by being, in every way, basic—and, in the process, confirms that there’s a reason some clichés endure.
  12. Out of Darkness
    A midnight movie that recognizes that there’s no existence without sacrifice, and no birth without death.
  13. Ne Zha 2
    Despite attractive aesthetics, its fights grow wearisome, especially as the material crosses the two-hour mark and, in the process, zooms past multiple potential endings.
  14. Brats
    Chronicles the whirlwind phenomenon and, it turns out, the tricky process of looking back and learning to both accept the good and let go of the bad.
  15. Superman
    A would-be franchise re-starter that resembles a Saturday morning cartoon come to overstuffed, helter-skelter life.
  16. Rustin
    Far from a stuffy history lesson, it’s a film that’s at once urgent, rousing, and alive.
