First They Killed My Father (2017)
Jolie's masterstroke is that she never departs from the gaze of her young protagonist.

It (2017)
What we're left with is a solid but relatively conventional horror movie, above average but overlong.

The Trip to Spain (2017)
A gentle, relaxing delight, with just enough uproarious conversation and a touch of regret. In other words, it's a perfect piece of British comedy comfort food.

Logan Lucky (2017)
Logan Lucky is like a cheerful sing-a-long of a movie, sweeping its audience along easily, even if some of the details quickly vanish from memory.

Detroit (2017)

Wind River (2017)
[Wind River] is still a film worth seeing-as, one hopes, will be whatever films lie in Sheridan's promising future.

Good Time (2017)
12
Icarus (2017)
It's fair, then, to call Icarus a coup for a first-time documentarian, the product of both dumb luck and a strange rapport between Fogel and Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov.

The Emoji Movie (2017)
14
Landline (2017)
Landline ultimately succumbs to a trope it eagerly tries to avoid-it ties things up with a bow.

Brigsby Bear (2017)
16
Atomic Blonde (2017)
The action in Atomic Blonde is top-shelf; but the plot that knits it together, crucial to any good spy film, is a whole lot flimsier.

Dunkirk (2017)
It is hard to imagine a better tribute to this victory of survival than Nolan's spare, stunning, extraordinarily ambitious film.

It's unafraid to embrace the expansive potential of its genre, to make each new location, costume, and alien creature feel like the wildest version of itself.

A Ghost Story (2017)
Lowery's greatest success is in keeping this intentionally spare story from feeling like a gimmick.

Lady Macbeth (2017)
One of the best, and most surprising, films of the year.

The Little Hours (2017)

Tour De Pharmacy (2017)
It takes the thorny subject of doping in professional cycling and turns it into pure, gleeful mayhem.

Baby Driver (2017)
Put in your metaphorical earbuds, turn the key in the ignition, and enjoy the cinematic highlight of the summer so far.

Michael Bay has promised that this is the last Transformers movie he will direct, which is no small relief. It will not, alas, be the last Transformers movie.

Cars 3 (2017)
Corporate synergy, as they say, is a cruel mistress.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Okja (2017)
It's a sublime tale of the value of humanity, and the horrors we often have to suffer through to hold on to that.

The Big Sick (2017)
The recent death of the American rom-com has been much remarked upon, but it only takes one great film to zap it back into life. The Big Sick just might be that film.

The Beguiled (2017)
Each frame of The Beguiled is a wonder to look at, from the candle-lit dinner-time conferences to the angelic portraits of John, who's frequently bathed in heavenly light.

My Cousin Rachel (2017)
Did she? Didn't she? Much as I enjoyed My Cousin Rachel at times, by the end I was no longer sure that I particularly cared.

Baywatch (2017)

In Marvel lingo, Guardians 2 feels like a great six-issue arc, the kind of storytelling that used to be the backbone of superhero comics.

Land of Mine (Under Sandet) (2017)
Most of the film's power and interest comes from the ethical discussion it inspires.

Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare) (2016)
Fire at Sea is a powerful, and beautifully shot, look at the migrant crisis-one that manages to subvert viewer expectations of what has become for many a familiar news subject.

My Scientology Movie (2017)

Maudie (2017)
Maudie's biggest success is Walsh's interest in depicting the environment from which art springs, rather than laying out some simple emotional cause for its generation.

The Book of Henry (2017)
The Book of Henry is the equivalent of eating a cake baked with salt instead of sugar, or listening to a Beatles song where the lyrics are in Esperanto.

Hounds of Love (2017)
If you can stomach its content, Hounds of Love is an undoubtedly effective work, an impressive calling card for a director sure to attract the eye of Hollywood.

Wakefield (2017)
It isn't the dull midlife crisis movie it initially presents itself as. But it also doesn't do enough to lurch into more nightmarish territory.

War Machine (2017)
War Machine is a failure, but could perhaps have been a great film if it had tried a little harder to pick a tone.

Band Aid (2017)
The film too often struggles to find a balance between being searing and charming; at best, it's a notable curio, one Lister-Jones may well build on for her next feature.

It Comes At Night (2017)
A fairly straightforward post-apocalyptic story, tightly focused on human torment, but suffused with surprising, undeniably atmospheric sights and sounds.

The Mummy (2017)
As the beginning of an ongoing series, it's an utter bore, one with only the faintest grasp of what made Universal's monster pictures so iconic all those decades ago.

The result, directed by Danny Gold, is a documentary that's loose, unfocused, and utterly charming -- much like its subjects.
