Battle of the Sexes (2017)
It was personal and it was political, which "Battle of the Sexes" gets. It was also entertainment, which is where the movie really excels.

The Force (2017)
The movie may offer an incriminatory catalog of organizational failure, but it also repeatedly shows people trying to make the system work.

Loving Vincent (2017)
4
The free-form assembly is consistent with this movie's utopian worldview, but the lack of narrative discipline can be trying.

Stronger (2017)
"Stronger" takes more artistic risks than any other American-made "inspired by true events" picture I can recall.

The King's Choice (2017)
7
Victoria & Abdul (2017)
In the shift from comedy to drama the movie goes wobbly. The narrative of cross-cultural understanding by way of individual affinity is a comforting but ultimately dubious one.

Unrest (2017)
It powerfully insists on giving a voice to victims whose greatest challenge, apart from their symptoms, is surmounting a world of indifference.

The Tiger Hunter (2017)
"The Tiger Hunter" might balk at the harsher details of immigrant life, but it has a generosity of spirit that lifts everyone up.

Bobbi Jene (2017)
"Bobbi Jene" may interest viewers who are well versed in contemporary dance. All others are on their own.

The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017)
I'm sorry to report that the Lego movie enterprise has lapsed into intentional mediocrity.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)
"Circle" is an emotionally sterile lark, its wounds inflicted with brolly and bullwhip, a smirk and a shrug.

Woodshock (2017)
Depressingly dull and terminally inarticulate.

Thirst Street (2017)
Though both Ms. Burdge and Mr. Bonnard offer vulnerably world-weary performances, Mr. Silver has made a movie about obsession that never delves deeper than infatuation.

It's more of a document than a documentary; calling it cinema seems like an error of categorization.

Jerry Before Seinfeld (2017)
It's still quintessential Seinfeld, poking fun at cereal and air travel and prepositions, but his set is looser, intimate and more biographical, a rebrand for the podcast age.

Brad's Status (2017)
"Brad's Status" at its best is genuinely thought-provoking.

Wetlands (2017)
As the haunted Babs, Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje has an imposing physicality and understated nobility, while Ms. Graham fleshes out the resolute if underwritten Savannah.

American Assassin (2017)

In Search of Fellini (2017)
The movie can shift unevenly from effusive love letter to travel lust to sentimental moment, but that doesn't break the fantasy.

TIt rushes through Mr. Blahnik's biography, dwelling on pop-culture moments and blandly ecstatic celebrity testimonials.

Strong Island (2017)
This potent film gives equal weight to complex emotions as well as bare facts. In the same way, it's not just the story of a man's death, but also a study of the aftermath.

The Wilde Wedding (2017)
[An] execrable remarriage comedy, one that's mystifyingly seeded with acting heavyweights.

Woodpeckers (Carpinteros) (2017)
José María Cabral's arresting drama "Woodpeckers (Carpinteros)" could be called love in a pressure cooker, but that would be understating its vivid textures and palpable vitality.

Alina (2017)
This fish-out-of-water story goes to predictable places in unconvincing ways.

First They Killed My Father (2017)

mother! (2017)
Mr. Aronofsky's visual wit and dexterous, disciplined camera movements create frissons of comic terror.

One of the greatest movies of Mr. Wiseman's extraordinary career and one of his most thrilling.

Dayveon (2017)
The diffuse filmmaking style muffles the story's power.

Wrestling Jerusalem (2017)
Mr. Davidman ends up not far from where he begins - his first line is "It's complicated." But that doesn't mean nothing is gained.

Tyrus (2015)
If you are looking for examples of the tremendous contributions immigrants have made to American and global society, look no further.

The Challenge (2017)
It is detached almost to the point of abstraction.

School Life (2017)
While Headfort may offer an aspirational model for schools, such pervasive niceness can come across as repetitive on screen ...

"Boris Without Beatrice" appears to have something to say about the hubris of the modern business tycoon, but it never coalesces into more than a self-amused goof.

The Limehouse Golem (2017)
Marrying fact and fiction, Jane Goldman's seamy screenplay is wildly overstuffed; but the director, Juan Carlos Medina, gives the music hall scenes a rowdy authenticity.

Shot with unassuming lyricism and an eye for everyday detail and full of modest, eloquent performances.

Trophy (2017)
The intimacy of the film's images and the surprising candor of its participants are disarming: Whatever your initial response, be prepared to re-evaluate.

Rememory (2017)
The writers of "Rememory," Mark Palansky (who also directed) and Michael Vukadinovich, mash a fertile premise into sentimental mush.

"Nobody's Watching" addresses immigration issues head on, but it's more about being set existentially adrift.

True To The Game (2017)
Though Ms. Woods's novel was a resonant entry in the crime genre when it came out nearly 20 years ago, this adaptation lacks the vision to find a fresh angle on her story.

Year by the Sea (2017)
The movie is not entirely my cup of tea, although it is refreshing in its depiction of diverse, older female characters.

Rebel in the Rye (2017)
While "Rebel in the Rye" isn't quite as bad as its pile-of-bricks-clunky title suggests, it's both simple- and literal-minded ...
