  1. Miss Sloane
    So intriguing are the driven, smart and compromised characters, and so infinite are the dramatic possibilities at the intersection of big business and politics, that a vastly expanded small-screen take built around these characters, and others like them, would be quite welcome..
  2. Rules Don't Apply
    This is a fitfully funny quasi-farce that takes off promisingly, loses its way mid-flight and comes in for a bumpy but safe landing.
  3. Lazy Eye
    This is a shallow snapshot of First World problems and feeble conflicts that makes you despair for the state of gay-themed drama, perhaps even more so because it's capably acted and assembled with a slick sheen.
  4. Almost Christmas
    Attempting to mix emotional pathos with broad farce, the film fails on both levels.
  5. A Street Cat Named Bob
    A film that admirably tries to remain true to the slightly gritty spirit of its source material. Unfortunately, it also occasionally sprays the wall with maudlin touches and misjudged additions to the story.
  6. Moana
    Appealing equally to the eyes, ears, heart and funny bone, Moana represents contemporary Disney at its finest — a vibrantly rendered adventure that combines state-of-the-art CG animation with traditional storytelling and colorful characters, all enlivened by a terrific voice cast.
  7. Chief Zabu
    Though its mix of the loopy, the broad and the deadpan is uneven, its story of American business designs on a tiny Polynesian nation still has satirical bite.
  8. Off the Rails
    [A] minor but enjoyable doc.
  9. Don't Call Me Son
    Working with a terrific cast — first-timer Nero is a real discovery — Muylaert makes all the traumatic twists in the story feel both natural and almost casual at times, as if we’re watching everyday people whose lives have suddenly been transformed into a telenovela plot.
  10. The Prison in Twelve Landscapes
    Provocative and often fascinating, The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is an unsentimental look at the ways prisons shape life outside their walls, in places as disparate as Appalachia and Midtown Manhattan.
  11. Portrait of a Garden
    For those less interested in horticultural matters, however, this Dutch documentary is akin to, well, watching plants grow. The sort of film frequently described as "meditative," it produces a calming but ultimately soporific effect.
  12. A Billion Lives
    Just as one should be wary of tobacco-safety data produced with tobacco-industry money, skeptical audiences will have a hard time putting too much stock in a doc so strongly aligned with vape entrepreneurs.
  13. The Unspoken
    A horror film that relies on a silent child to adequately convey terror is starting off with a significant handicap, one that The Unspoken never manages to overcome.
  14. Jack's Apocalypse
    Jack's Apocalypse holds few rewards.
  15. An Eye for an Eye
    As our encounters with him continue, it becomes clear that Stroman — whose early life nearly guaranteed problems ahead — evolved dramatically behind bars, and that his remorse for his crimes is sincere.
  16. Your Name.
    The beauty of the feature lies in its ability to stir the imagination with eerie, resonant hand-drawn animation.
  17. You've Been Trumped Too
    You've Been Trumped Too is a mostly unnecessary sequel that spends much of its brief running time rehashing distressingly familiar news footage about Trump's campaign.
  18. The Ivory Game
    What is admirable about Ivory Game is that it recognizes the complexity of the issues.

    Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
    Despite the iffy script, two of the film’s performances pack a punch.
  20. Peter and the Farm
    Transfixing in its workplace detail and haunting in its harsh commentary on a solitary existence.
  21. Autumn Lights
    [An] empty ponderousness suffocating the film.
  22. Buster's Mal Heart
    An affecting brainteaser with echoes of Lynchian dissociation.
  23. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
    I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House is a lightly gothic murder ballad made with great finesse and a fine cast.
  24. Crosscurrent
    It’s all about metaphor and mood, while the storytelling is so lightweight it might not exist. Without it, this drunken boat sailing on poetry can't hold interest for its entire two hour running time.
  25. Doctor Strange
    To his credit, director Scott Derrickson...navigates through the different zones with a fair degree of actual coherence, and delivers the entire package with evident ease and some flair.
  26. Trash Fire
    Loaded with dark humor, Bates’ script faces considerable challenges developing sympathetic characters.
  27. It Had to Be You
    It Had to Be You ultimately demonstrates enough cleverness and inventiveness to make it more than a by-the-book entry in a genre that's become more than a little stale.
  28. Courier X
    More succinct writing and tighter editing could have yielded a solid B picture.
  29. Hate Rising
    This timely film makes for highly compelling viewing and demands to be seen.
  30. I'm Not Ashamed
    Many Christians yearning for faith-based entertainment will be moved by this film, and that crowd may well ensure a profit for the production. But more picky viewers will admit that even taken solely as an exploration of the trials of being a Christian teen, it's awfully weak tea as a movie, instantly disposable if not for the tragic backdrop.
