  1. David Cross: Oh Come On
    It's as stylistically straightforward as concert films get, but should play well to fans in its limited theatrical release as it simultaneously arrives on digital platforms.
  2. Just Say Goodbye
    Awkward execution and technical imperfections prevent the film from having its desired emotional impact.
  3. John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
    An epic of choreographed mayhem that expands the Wickiverse in mostly pleasing ways, it is destined to satisfy fans of this surprise-hit franchise: If its ludicrous aspects bug you, what the hell are you doing here?
  4. Merata
    Fascinating and insightful if also (perhaps necessarily) somewhat checkered.
  5. Game Girls
    Game Girls doesn’t really go beyond its fly-on-the-wall approach to its heroines, offering us lots of intimacy but nothing that really sets its story within a greater social or political context.
  6. Shéhérazade
    The gritty environment and the non-pro cast are convincingly directed by Marlin, a native of Marseille, particularly in the pic's stronger second half.
  7. XY Chelsea
    The filmmaker seems to have been granted unprecedented access to both Manning and to the people around her, and he uses this natural, unforced intimacy to present a fragmented portrait of a person attempting to readapt to a society in which they never particularly learned how to fit.
  8. The Hustle
    Though the 55 year-old plot's bones are sturdy and its new performers gifted, moviegoers hoping for a mercilessly funny post-Weinstein revenge fantasy (its poster declares: "They're giving dirty rotten men a run for their money") will walk away feeling conned.
  9. The Serengeti Rules
    It simply offers a chance to spend time with engaging people who've enriched our understanding of complex ecosystems, and who assure us that much of what we've done to the planet is reversible — provided we take action before the keystone species in question are still around to be saved.
  10. Poms
    Poms is equal parts boring and infuriating, especially when you consider the actresses made to perform caricatures of old age.
  11. Another Day of Life
    It cannily draws its various strands together into a visually striking piece of rare immediacy and power.
  12. Bolden
    Since the lead character is effectively a mystery man, some lack of grounding is appropriate. Unfortunately, the impressionism — the improvisation, you might say, of this particular life (mirroring, one supposes, Bolden's approach to music) — is so dominant that it finally proves a crutch.
  13. Wine Country
    Poehler's adept at showcasing not just the comic gifts of her cast, whose decades-long friendships began in improv theaters and at SNL, but also the joyful vamping that connects their characters.
  14. My Son
    It’s got a nervously eerie feel to it that’s grounded in Canet’s gripping turn as a dad out to do good for his estranged family.
  15. A Day in the Life of America
    An impressive film ... Alternately disturbing and inspiring, it manages to capture the diversity of America in a tight 73 minutes.
  16. Stray Dolls
    Alternately incisive and uneven.
  17. The Short History of the Long Road
    Like Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy or Granik's Leave No Trace, this low-key drama focuses on a regional American woman trying to sustain herself through rough economic and emotional times. It's derivative of both films, but, for a little while at least, not disagreeably so.
  18. General Magic
    Provides a compelling history of a company that created a groundbreaking product that was unfortunately ahead of its time.
  19. The Silence of Others
    There is no big redemptive payoff here, just a few small victories and hopeful pointers to the future. The struggle continues. But this is still a very necessary story, delivered with rigor and conviction.
  20. Lost Transmissions
    [A] modest but heartfelt picture. ... Lost Transmissions tells its story without engaging with foolish cliches about creativity and madness.
  21. Yesterday
    Neither a no-nonsense delight like "She Loves You" nor the White Album-style head trip its premise might suggest, it's more of a "Yellow Submarine" sort of film: crowd-pleasing and sometimes enjoyable, but pretty damned dumb when you stop to think about it.
  22. A Regular Woman
    There's a shakiness in how Hormann utilizes the fact that Aynur's murder is a foregone conclusion. It's as if the director is delaying gut-wrenching emotion as opposed to letting it emerge organically from the stylistic severity.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gay Chorus Deep South
    The doc has stirring moments, but it has too many gaps to be considered a complete success.
  24. Plus One
    Plus One is nothing if not formulaic. ... But what Plus One lacks in originality it at least partially makes up for in warmth and watchability.
  25. Run
    Graham begins Run with a solid premise, but he lacks the dramatic horsepower to move the story out of second gear.
  26. 17 Blocks
    Considering that it was filmed in bits and pieces over two decades, it's not surprising that 17 Blocks is disjointed in its storytelling, nor that its technical elements are ragged (subtitles are frequently employed due to poor sound quality). But it nonetheless packs a potent emotional punch.
  27. Swallow
    The idea is cartoonish in its essence but the pic is shot and played with such straight-faced realism that Swallow becomes utterly ridiculous.
  28. Dreamland
    A drama with dazzling visuals, subtle performances and deft nods to classics like Days of Heaven and Bonnie and Clyde. ... While Dreamland doesn’t entirely overcome its familiar trajectory, the film is so stunning in every other way that its narrative shortcoming hardly matters.
  29. Apocalypse Now: Final Cut
    Final Cut will be screened theatrically ... and it demands to be seen there, both by longtime admirers and by young viewers lucky enough to have their first viewing be in a theater. ... This is an overwhelming sensory experience, with deep colors and nuanced sound amplifying the film's hypnotic effect.
  30. House of Hummingbird
    Sensitive, keenly observed and unflinchingly honest. ... House of Hummingbird can be a little too deliberate in its contemplations and contextualizing Eunhee in her solitude and search for intimacy can be bloated at times, but ultimately it's an assured and affecting portrait of teenaged uncertainty and insecurity.
