  1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
    It achieves the rarest of feats of any tentpole Hollywood release, animated or not: gleefully matching exhilarating stylistic experimentation with a multi-tiered narrative of equal ambition.
  2. Padre Pio
    Offering visceral immediacy over meticulous construction, Padre Pio bristles with arresting images.
  3. Falcon Lake
    The inadvertent effect of the oppressive, almost overbearing gloom that shrouds Falcon Lake is that it manages to sap the life out of its initially carefree depiction of young people’s emotional lives.
  4. Reality
    The film interrogates both the state of our world and the lines between fiction and document.
  5. Lynch/Oz
    Alexandre O. Philippe’s essay film is both dead-serious about its subjects and playfully exploratory.
  6. The Boogeyman
    Ultimately, The Boogeyman is like so many other modern horror films that prioritize mood above all else.
  7. Kandahar
    Where Kandahar is most intriguing is in the oddly even-handed depiction of both American and Middle-Eastern characters as largely exasperated professionals going about their grisly work because they’re too old to pivot to a different job.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    The Little Mermaid
    This Little Mermaid feels more or less like two-hour-plus cosplay with the texture and gravitas of a Disneyland sideshow.
  9. White Balls on Walls
    Sarah Vos creates a nearly mockumentary effect that neither fully lampoons nor endorses contemporary standards for the art world’s political correctness but lands at a decidedly more ambivalent point.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Fast X
    Being as this is the first of a possibly three-part finale, Fast X’s sense of fun is constantly deflated by all the table-setting.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sanctuary
    This is a theatrical story told in a purposefully and self-consciously theatrical manner.
  12. Stay Awake
    Jamie Sisley’s film looks at its serious subject matter through a maudlin lens.
  13. L'Immensità
    By turns wry and tragic, but never glib or mawkish, this is a visually rich and evocative drama about navigating the often treacherous path to adulthood.
  14. The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future
    The film is an object lesson in what can result when a work of art subordinates itself to a message.
  15. Hypnotic
    The film is a pointlessly complicated house of cards that crumbles due to its own hollowness.
  16. Fool's Paradise
    The film sprints past its targets, dealing glancing blows to subjects that have already been obliterated by decades’ worth of Tinseltown parodies.
  17. The Starling Girl
    The film is an impressively complicated and compassionate drama about shame and desire.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Book Club: The Next Chapter
    The film is devoid of serious conflict, yet it hits with unexpected feeling.
  19. Monica
    Monica is an unsentimental exploration of its main character’s search for personal fulfillment through human connection.
  20. Love Again
    The film is nothing but a chintzy promotional tool for Celine Dion.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
    The film undermines its initial sense of intimacy and momentum with a stop-and-start story structure that by and large exists to make as much room as possible for its characters’ banter.
  22. Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World
    The film stumbles sluggishly from one chapter in Foreman’s life to the next.
  23. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
    The sense that they don’t make mass entertainments like this anymore is palpable.
  24. Winter Boy
    Christophe Honoré’s film tackles grief in a subtle, intriguingly indirect manner.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Eight Mountains
    The film is a meditative, slow crescendo of wounded feelings and quiet epiphanies.
  26. Evil Dead Rise
    Lee Cronin serves up considerable gore with monotonous, po-faced earnestness.
  27. Trenque Lauquen Parte II
    Throughout the film, Laura Citarella emphasizes the liberating quality of following the rabbit hole as deep as it goes.
  28. Trenque Lauquen Parte I
    Throughout the film, Laura Citarella emphasizes the liberating quality of following the rabbit hole as deep as it goes.
  29. Plan 75
    Because so much of Hayakawa’s film is given over to depictions of the procedures, formalities, and impersonal administration that define Plan 75, even the tiniest spark of feeling comes as a relief.
  30. Dry Ground Burning
    The film surprises by revealing deeper layers to both its subjects and social commentary.
