    The Gorge
    The script is equal parts juicy and loose, but in the hands of Scott Derrickson, 'The Gorge' is ultimately worth gorging oneself on.

    Companion
    An exciting, intentional ride that never resorts to cheap thrills, instead keeping its story grounded in this day and age's most pertinent topics: lonely men and AI.
  6. Presence
    While 'Presence' may not deliver traditional horror scares, Soderbergh's innovative ghost's-eye-view approach and strong performances create an intriguing supernatural drama that prioritizes technical brilliance over frights.

    Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
    Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is supremely sincere, warmly witty, and laugh-out-loud funny. And really, what else did you expect?

    A Complete Unknown
    For viewers who want to understand Bob Dylan as an artist, A Complete Unknown more than fits the bill. It’s an exemplary character study that doesn’t skimp on the hits that made the musician an enduring icon. The film is unabashedly itself, just as its subject matter is.
  9. Nosferatu
    Robert Eggers' reimagining of the 1922 classic "Nosferatu" delivers a visually striking but uneven Gothic horror experience, elevated by Lily-Rose Depp's captivating performance and stunning second half.

    Wicked
    A brightly colored extravaganza, 'Wicked' is a monumental feat in the stage-to-screen lineage, with stunning sets, sharp choreography, and delightful musical numbers. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande gracefully lead the film to great heights, and Jon M. Chu's tasteful direction raises hopes for 'Part Two.'
    • 85 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A Real Pain
    Pivoting gut-punching drama and whip-smart comedy around a career-best turn from Kieran Culkin, 'A Real Pain' is a real treat of the highest caliber.
  15. Gladiator II
    While Ridley Scott delivers spectacular gladiatorial action and Denzel Washington steals every scene, 'Gladiator 2's derivative plot and inability to escape its predecessor's shadow prevent it from achieving the same legendary status as the original.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Heretic
    Heretic is a genuinely unsettling psychological horror, but it suffers from having one too many red herrings.
  17. Juror #2
    In "Juror #2," Clint Eastwood delivers his best directorial effort in years, crafting a morally complex courtroom drama that's elevated by Nicholas Hoult's compelling performance and a thought-provoking premise.

    Here
    Here plays not only by its own rules, but a whole other cinematic ballgame, and those who take the time to learn its language will be immaculately rewarded.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Conclave
    A pointed puzzle-box that never takes its finger off its stormy emotions, 'Conclave' is as softly sensational as it is sweepingly satisfying.
  20. Smile 2
    While it may not break new ground, Smile 2 delivers a thrilling sequel that surpasses its predecessor, thanks to Naomi Scott's tour de force performance and Parker Finn's improved direction.

    Woman of the Hour
    Anna Kendrick's directorial debut offers a refreshing twist on a tried and true formula by contextualizing a serial killer's wrath within the crueler misogynistic traditions that enable it.

    The Apprentice
    The Apprentice forgoes subtlety in favor of skewering its subject and eventually reveals that deep down this biopic was a horror movie all along.

    • 100 Critic Score
    Piece By Piece
    Piece by Piece, much like its decorated subject, blows right past refusing to play by the rules and straight up doesn't acknowledge them, and it's all the best for it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We Live in Time
    We Live in Time packs an emotional, surprisingly meditative punch in the form of one of the most beautiful romance films of the last decade.
  25. Terrifier 3
    Terrifier 3 marks a significant evolution in the franchise. Director Damien Leone delivers the most vicious iteration of Art the Clown yet, while also maturing as a filmmaker and providing a solid foundation for future installments.
  26. The Outrun
    While still a fascinating filmmaking exercise, this is, unfortunately, one of those movies you can recommend to everyone. Still, The Outrun is a vehicle for Ronan’s talent, with her driving fast towards awards season.
  27. The Platform 2
    The Platform 2 does more than follow the first movie recipe, spicing things up with new ethical conundrums and serving a new batch of intriguing puzzle pieces.
    • 85 Metascore

    The Wild Robot
    Equal parts eye-and-ear candy and carbs for the soul, 'The Wild Robot' is animation's finest hour of the year.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Megalopolis
    Megalopolis is at once one of the least-accessible films of the year, but the sheer depth and insanity of its accomplishment is one we may never see again.

    Transformers One
    Even its mistakes hardly qualify as mistakes, and the intelligence with which 'Transformers One' carries itself as an IP film easily cements it as an instant classic.

    His Three Daughters
    In His Three Daughters, Azazel Jacobs provides the very unique joy of a simple, yet perfectly executed story about universal human experiences.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is an exercise — or exorcise — in studio IP extension that is so strange and unusual as to be almost review-proof. It's messy and overstuffed, but its quirky charms may well win you over.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Thicket
    Impeccably casted and narratively confident, one really only wishes that 'The Thicket' spread its wings just a bit more. Dinklage has great taste in passion projects, and is great in them, too.
  34. Blink Twice
    Blink Twice is a stylish psychological thriller about sexism in the #MeToo era. While its plot may feel familiar, Zoë Kravitz's confident direction and Channing Tatum's surprising performance elevate the film above its occasionally on-the-nose script.
  35. Alien: Romulus
    While its dedication to fan service occasionally holds it back, 'Alien: Romulus' is still a thrilling addition to the franchise, thanks to director Fede Álvarez's dedication to visceral practical effects and new twists to the canon.
  36. Jackpot!
    Jackpot! delivers a delicious deranged mix of dark comedy and thrill ride. While its silliness may not appeal to all, the film's clever premise, strong performances by Awkwafina and John Cena, and well-timed humor make for a great experience.
  37. Skincare
    In Skincare, Elizabeth Banks leads a tense, socially conscious thriller that cleverly blends suspense and social commentary to create an engaging, if uneven, experience.

    It Ends with Us
    Anchored by a mighty Blake Lively, It Ends with Us brings Colleen Hoover's story to smartly cinematic and tremendously touching life.
  39. Cuckoo
    Cuckoo blends B-movie energy with arthouse ambition, delivering a fresh horror concept bolstered by Hunter Schafer's standout performance. While its scattered storytelling may divide audiences, the film's atmospheric tension makes it a worthy watch.

    Deadpool & Wolverine
    It's a fun time at the movies for genuine fans of Marvel superheroes who have been keeping up with the franchise for the last couple of decades. It won't really land for anyone else, and that's okay.

    Fly Me to the Moon
    A powerhouse screenwriting debut, inspired direction, and a Scarlett Johansson-shaped heartbeat ensures that all systems are go for 'Fly Me to the Moon.'
  44. Longlegs
    Thanks to its meticulous Craftsmanship, unsettling narrative, and Nicolas Cage's most harrowing role yet, 'Longlegs' is a masterclass in psychological horror that lingers long after the credits roll.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Fancy Dance
    The awe-inspiring strength of 'Fancy Dance' is as softly sensational as it is proudly singular, and Gladstone is breathtaking throughout; Indigenous voices are a necessity to filmmaking.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A Family Affair
    A Family Affair is far from revolutionary filmmaking but it is a near-perfect sample of its genre. It’s ballsy and funny without being over the top, and it’s got an unexpected fire burning behind each of its characters.
  47. A Quiet Place: Day One
    A Quiet Place: Day One is a gripping prequel that balances emotional depth with thrilling suspense. Lupita Nyong'o's standout performance and the film's fresh take on the franchise make it a must-watch, despite some predictable plot points.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Bikeriders
    Jeff Nichols' masterminding could have sealed the deal on its own, but thanks to this cast, 'The Bikeriders' roars.
  49. Kinds of Kindness
    Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness is a unique, thought-provoking anthology exploring human kindness's dark side. With stellar performances, the film's surreal and unsettling narrative will captivate long-term fans but will alienate some viewers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Inside Out 2
    Its borderline-necessary messaging doesn't render it completely invulnerable, but should Pixar be up to it, they've earned an 'Inside Out 3'.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hit Man
    Much like its protagonist, 'Hit Man' is an amalgam of personalities, not entirely one thing or the other, but a combination of genres that, through careful writing, each manages to maintain their essence throughout.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
    While the final result is a film that’s a bit rougher around the edges than it needed to be, Kingdom quite confidently seals the deal through the animus of Noa; a fantastic protagonist brought to life by the young Owen Teague, whose strikingly intelligent motion-capture performance suggests a wisdom for the craft far beyond his years.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Fall Guy
    As a blockbuster, The Fall Guy flies. As an ode to stuntmen, it soars. But as a movie that simply loves being a movie, it towers quite magnificently above most.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Idea of You
    It is the fairytale you desperately desire and the real-life truth that you detest rolled into a fantasy-charged ride that crashes at the last moment, but doesn't burst your pipe dream of being in the driver seat.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Challengers
    It's truly never been more fun to watch three people be absolutely despicable to one another than in Luca Guadagnino's tennis court love story.
  56. Abigail
    Abigail offers enough blood and guts to deliver an entertaining horror flick, but fails to tie all of its plot threads together in a satisfying way. In addition, the marketing for the movie reveals too much, spoiling its most shocking surprises.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Civil War
    Forget such questions of whether 'Civil War' is good or bad, fresh or rotten, and any other gradation scale that comes to mind. This film is mandatory.
  58. The First Omen
    With skin-crawling scenes and a surprising discussion about the control of women's bodies, 'The First Omen' finds a new angle to explore the well-established franchise. The prequel doesn't always manage the tricky balance between reverence to the original and new ideas. Still, there's a lot to love, both for newcomers and returning fans.

    Monkey Man
    The heart Dev Patel put into Monkey Man is clear at every turn, but the actor-turned-director might have bitten off more than he could chew in his behind-the-camera debut.

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

    Dune: Part Two

    I.S.S.

    The Beekeeper
    By ordinary metrics, it leaves everything to be desired. But, 'The Beekeeper' understands that better than anyone, and occupies the 'Fast & Furious'-esque niche of action filmmaking in a way that's arguably genuinely brilliant.

    Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé
    Renaissance is not a concert film, it's an artifact and a time capsule of Beyoncé at "f***ing forty-two". Its every frame a reminder that although fleeting, greatness is also immortal.

    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

    The Marvels
    The Marvels feels like it should have been developed as a Disney+ project, but Larson, Parris, and Villani's full commitment promise a nonstop, frenetic team-up movie—and who could forget Goose!
  72. Your Lucky Day
    Your Lucky Day finds Angus Cloud and the rest of the cast on sparkling form in a twisting, turning, and altogether unpredictably thrilling time.
  73. When Evil Lurks
    It's not going to be for everyone, but if you've got the stomach for it, then When Evil Lurks is easily among the year's most gruesome, unrelenting, and unforgettable horrors.
  74. Plan C
    Plan C is an emotional journey into American culture, focused solely on one hot topic.

    Bottoms
    Bottoms is never afraid to have fun, even when it comes at the cost of a reasonable plot or political correctness. It's an hysterical teen movie featuring two of the best talents of this generation who have nailed the balance between the ridiculous and the important.
  76. No One Will Save You
    No One Will Save You stands out among a crowded field for both the swings that it does take and the way it simultaneously acts as a love letter to its many forebears, all while putting its own definitive stamp on the proceedings.

    Blue Beetle
    The best film DC has put out in a while, Blue Beetle offers fun, heartfelt action and comedy. Xolo Mariduena shines as Jaime Reyes, while director Angel Manuel Soto succeeds in delivering an ode to Latin American culture in a superhero outfit.

    Oppenheimer
    The true test of 'Oppenheimer' is whether Nolan can maintain his typically mammoth vision with a narrative that mostly comprises white men talking in small rooms. Like his protagonist, the writer/director succeeds in a grand and unexpectedly horrifying fashion.

  82. The Unknown Country
    The Unknown Country proves to be a road trip unlike any other.
  83. They Cloned Tyrone
    They Cloned Tyrone is comfortably Netflix's most original blockbuster of the year, and being exactly the movie you think it is and something completely unexpected at the exact same time is easily its biggest strength.
  84. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
    Tom Cruise has only gone and done it again, with 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One' delivering a stunning summer blockbuster that'll leave you wondering how it can possibly be topped next summer.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie
    Nintendo knows what's great about the 'Super Mario Bros.' games, and perfectly brings them to life on the big screen.
  93. A Good Person
    Florence Pugh gives another magnetic performance in this hard hitting redemption drama, written and directed by Zach Braff. Aided and abetted by Morgan Freeman, an otherwise average melodrama is elevated by two movie stars on top form.
  94. John Wick: Chapter 4
    The exorbitant running time may end up testing the patience of many, but 'John Wick: Chapter 4' does exactly what the franchise does best, but somehow on an even grander and more gripping scale.
  95. Boston Strangler
    Boston Strangler has more to say than some might think by promoting a forthright, focused, and professionally progressive approach in those central performances. Roles which are only made to look easy by Knightley and Coon, purely because they embody them so effortlessly.
  96. Tetris
    Taron Egerton and Toby Jones make Tetris one of the most intriguing video game movies for some time. Slick, savvy, and with no shortage of dry wit - audiences should lap this up.

    Creed III
    Jordan’s clear vision for Creed III is hindered by a couple of melodramatic crutches that are typical of the genre, and constant, incredibly distracting and tacky product placements throughout. Small faults in what is otherwise a self-assured, confident, and refreshingly vulnerable sports epic. The actor and filmmaker is dead serious about his craft, and it’s great to watch.
