  1. Strange Weather
    In the end, human decency and resilience are this narrative’s common threads. And you needn’t have lost a loved one to recognize it.
  2. The Last Face
    This is about as egregious as filmmaking gets.
  3. Atomic Blonde
    Based on the best moments of Atomic Blonde, I would very much like to see a series of films in which Charlize Theron’s ruthless, brutal and glamorous secret agent dispatches a variety of Cold War-era enemies to the accompaniment of hit songs from the 80s.
  4. The Emoji Movie
    It is a soul-crushing disaster because it lacks humor, wit, ideas, visual style, compelling performances, a point of view or any other distinguishing characteristic that would make it anything but a complete waste of your time, not to mention that of the diligent animators who brought this catastrophe into being.
  5. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
    There is no doubt that Gore has a life-altering passion; he just doesn’t possess the personality required to express it cinematically.
  6. Brigsby Bear
    Its low-gear celebration of fandom-inspired ingenuity, and belief in the power of creating as a reparative balm, earns it enough well-deserved smiles when things fall predictably into place in the latter stages.
  7. Person to Person
    A day can be mind-numbingly dull or fate-alteringly momentous. Person to Person expresses this duh statement with scarcely more wisdom, nuance, or emotional pull.
  8. Logan Lucky
    As summer movies go, Logan Lucky is especially tasty bar food, slung by a master.
  9. In This Corner of the World
    It succumbs to evasiveness and sentimentality at the end, but this does not extinguish the memory of the many funny, touching, and captivatingly odd scenes that have come before.
  10. Detroit
    Detroit has a vital sense of authenticity, rooted as it is in history, conveyed via Bigelow’s meticulously crafted cinema vérité style that, essentially, thrusts the viewer into the tense events. She is an expert at managing suspense and deftly blending sensitivity with a journalistic sense of details.
  11. Landline
    Crumbling nuclear families are a well-worn movie genre; you could even add “in Manhattan” to that description and the examples would be many. “Landline” is simply another one, not appreciably worse than the average, but not much better, either.
  12. The Midwife
    The bothersome and irritating thing about the way The Midwife is written is that we keep hearing detail after detail and story after story about the shared history between Claire and Béatrice, but we never get a solid idea of what that history was.
  13. Dunkirk
    Nolan has crafted a film that’s sensational in every sense of the word; it aims for both the heart and the head, to be sure, but arrives there via the central nervous system.
  14. To the Bone
    Noxon, a TV veteran making her directorial debut here, had suffered from an eating disorder herself, as did the film’s star, Lily Collins. It’s surprising, then, that the script offers only generalities instead of any real insight.
  15. Endless Poetry
    The filmmaker’s outsize, and sometimes unnerving, stylistic choices jump into the frame and vanish just as quickly.
  16. Chasing Coral
    Chasing Coral is not impartial. It’s staunchly pro-life, in the truest sense of the term.
  17. Lady Macbeth
    It features a striking lead performance, but it ultimately leaves the viewer unmoved, and possibly confounded.
  18. False Confessions
    Unfortunately, to follow these characters around is to experience not great theater, nor rich cinema, nor architectural wonder, but rather the itch of the restless spectator.
  19. Wish Upon
    The death scenes range from goofy and completely preventable to modestly suspenseful.
  20. Girls Trip
    There are few surprises here.... But that’s okay, because we’re in it for the ride, the company, and the pure pleasure of watching these women, and the actresses playing them, embrace an independence Hollywood doles out too grudgingly.
  21. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets might well represent the apotheosis of Besson’s singularly loony brand of filmmaking. It’s bonkers and gorgeous and confusing and thrilling and tiring and overflowing with ideas.
  22. City of Ghosts
    As information-age documents go, it’s as necessary a glimpse of 21st century heroism and ideology warfare as you’re going to encounter, and a brutally effective argument for compassion toward those forced from their homeland.
  23. The House
    You get flashes of the clever comedy this might have been — a funny line here, an amusing bit of business there, the occasional whiff of relevance — but it too often lumbers along, coasting on the backs of some very talented performers.
  24. 13 Minutes
    13 Minutes is well-acted, with authentic settings and an involving structure, but it’s undercut somewhat by a rather flat love story.
  25. Despicable Me 3
    Even parents who found the earlier outings reasonably tolerable may find themselves making excuses to linger longer at the concession stand.
  26. Spider-Man: Homecoming
    The result is a “Spider-Man” that feels a little more punchy, laugh-filled, and exciting than one might expect from a property that’s already been given plenty of chances to succeed.
  27. The Little Hours
    The Little Hours is no one-trick pony. While the lunacy of nuns who swear like sailors makes a comically boisterous impression, it’s also about women in the Middle Ages forced into religious life for various reasons and how they cope, viewed through a decidedly humorous lens.
  28. War for the Planet of the Apes
    It’s not just the CG that’s visually impressive here; “War” boasts some extraordinary set pieces.
  29. The Big Sick
    While The Big Sick isn’t always a complete success — it’s another film bearing the name of Judd Apatow (he produced with Barry Mendel) that could stand to lose 15 or 20 minutes — it’s the kind of sweetly funny love story that’s so bizarre that it has to be real.
  30. My Journey Through French Cinema
    One of the biggest takeaways from "My Journey” and Tavernier’s enthusiasm for the confluence of image, performance, writing and sound is something hard to ignore the next time you see a contemporary film: the care of shot selection that previous generations deployed, and that barely exists in today’s sloppy, keep-filming-and-figure-it-out-later ethos.
