  1. Darling
    Keating’s flattery is sincere, and so is his wish to stylishly freak you silly.
  2. Jim: The James Foley Story
    Directed by Foley’s childhood friend Brian Oakes, the doc does raise some difficult issues – albeit very tactfully.
  3. Midnight Special
    As other worlds reveal themselves, what started with a gripping premise slackens and goes limp.
  4. Everybody Wants Some!!
    It’s hard to imagine another filmmaker who could invest the lives of straight, middle-class, norm-y, aggressively bro-y, immaculately groomed college sports jocks with a sense of vital anarchy and resounding humanity.
  5. Eye in the Sky
    The political buck-passing from all entertains and creates the film’s time-sensitive tension.
  6. The Clan
    Trapero reveals the ways in which truth can be much stranger, more tragic and confused, than fiction.
  7. The Lobster
    The Lobster is a brilliant piece of satire, but largely fails in an attempt to build its wicked wit into a more conventional romance.
  8. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    There are many plot lines here, but little tension.
  9. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    The film might be pretty to look at, but narratively speaking, it is a disaster.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Boris Without Béatrice
    Beautiful to look at, the film showcases Côté’s talents at building tone and theme through images and sounds.
  11. The Brothers Grimsby
    When the film’s pace slows down every now and then, and Cohen gets room to breathe, the film is a genuine riot.
  12. The Program
    The Program makes passing references to the power of celebrity and the Live Strong narrative – the cyclist admits to telling people what they wanted to hear – but it never goes deep on what it was that produced the awfulness that is Lance Armstrong.
  13. The Bronze
    The Bronze often feels like an extended skit, but Hope is so refreshingly unladylike and the movie is so refreshingly cynical about gymnastics that the results are surprisingly amusing.
  14. Chi-Raq
    This film is many things at once: It is didactic but ambitious, affecting but satirical, absurd but also poignant.
  15. Knight of Cups
    Already being decried as either self-parody or half-assed nonsense, the drama is in fact just as challenging and rewarding as Malick’s previous work, though with a more modern and caustic edge than one-time acolytes might be used to.
  16. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    Try as I might, I cannnot activate your interest in this bloated excuse for a movie.
  17. Forsaken
    Typical themes (redemption, forgiveness) are laid out with little imagination.
  18. All the Time In The World
    It’s an engrossing nature documentary – of human nature – and while for most it is also a fairy tale, the takeaway can be vicarious.
  19. Miracles from Heaven
    Miracles from Heaven is mostly an embarrassment.
  20. Cemetery of Splendor
    The mesmerizing and lingeringly paced Cemetery of Splendour, picks up where Freud left off.
  21. The Little Prince
    The audience is invited to celebrate the purified wonder of youth and the dazzle of life’s invisible indispensables.
  22. Glassland
    Glassland is a small film with an emotional punch that wallops above its weight class.
  23. Born to be Blue
    Budreau constructs with imagination and pleasing fluidity, painting a portrait with a soft, sympathetic focus while steering clear of worship.
  24. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    This is a near-masterpiece, an intimate and nerve-wracking shocker that deserves as big an audience as the mystery box can conjure.
  25. Hyena Road
    Its war scenes are plenty thrilling, but the film’s real achievement is its quiet authenticity.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    The dialogue is sour, the politics problematic (Broadway veterans as Afghan locals? Why not?!), and the sentiments sometimes eye-rolling. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, indeed.
  27. Zootopia
    Zootopia takes the cultural practice of posing animals as human characters to queasy new heights.
  28. Mountains May Depart
    Like a Chinese Balzac, Jia expertly balances the micro and the macro, the onrush of the new and the tug of tradition here, blanketing the proceedings with a pall of melancholy as palpable as the smog over Beijing.
  29. The Wave
    While The Wave doesn’t quite match the saga of, say, The Impossible from 2012, it’s a film absolutely worth catching.
  30. London Has Fallen
    The film is a popcorn-crowd pleaser, but a “yippee ki-yay” or two away from something more memorable.
