  1. American Made
    The beamingly ingenuous Cruise, whose character is not burdened with any doubts or an inner life, somehow sells it to you.
  2. Killing Ground
    The elegance of Power’s approach belies the extremities of his blood-splotched, hard-nosed story. Which, as the film escalates conflicts and scampers towards closure, is more than grim – borderline misanthropic, perhaps.
  3. Bushwick
    Sadly the acting and dialogue needed a little work.
  4. Logan Lucky
    It’s all wonderfully preposterous, but also endearing and gratifying.
  5. Clash
    The movie stunningly replicates that sense of inside and outside that must be felt by witnesses to any historic moment: the private debate, the enclosed conflict, and the theatre of confrontation unfolding beyond. What a dynamic piece of cinema.
  6. England Is Mine
    It’s decently and honestly acted by Jack Lowden, who keeps the film alive, but it somehow winds up being a story about always following your dream and never giving up.
  7. Marjorie Prime
    It’s a haunting little film that ends with a somewhat overwhelming poignancy.
  8. The Queen of Spain
    Cruz carries the film. She has a ridiculous kind of heroism, and her disguises are hilarious, particularly as a knight, when she insists on wearing a false beard under her helmet.
  9. Patti Cake$
    Patti Cake$ is by no means a hopelessly bad movie, it’s just hampered by its desperate need to be a crowd-pleaser.
  10. The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature
    The summer of inessential animation continues with this very middling sequel to 2014’s semi-forgotten squirrel-based timekiller.
  11. Machines
    A sombre, relevant piece of work.
  12. After Love
    After Love is intelligent, compassionate, challenging film-making.
  13. The Dark Tower
    It’s rare that a film so convoluted also manages to be so determinedly boring.
  14. The Emoji Movie
    The Emoji Movie is a force of insidious evil, a film that feels as if it was dashed off by an uninspired advertising executive.
  15. Water and Sugar: Carlo Di Palma, the Colours of Life
    It’s a film to remind you of the almost miraculously collaborative nature of cinema, but also the radiant personalities of individuals.
  16. Detroit
    This is a sombre, grieving movie which appears to gesture to the ghost-town ruin that is still in Detroit’s future.
  17. A Family Man
    It’s run-of-the-mill, and crassly manipulative.
