The Fencer (Miekkailija) (2017)
Almost relentlessly predictable and formulaic - a story of one man's refusal to conform that dutifully hits all its marks.

The Pulitzer at 100 (2017)
Plays as if the Pulitzers were presenting an award to themselves.

The Midwife (Sage femme) (2017)
Even when portraying the needy, nearly shambolic Béatrice in "The Midwife," Ms. Deneuve is capable of vibrating with an elegance that implies both hauteur and froideur.

Romeo Is Bleeding (2017)
The portraits drawn of these young people frequently feel half-finished. As soon as a story or a profile turns compelling, the movie switches to another topic.

Killing Ground (2017)
These personality-free characters fade from your mind even as you're watching the screen, making the brutality waged against them akin to animated mutilation of cartoon creatures.

Landline (2017)
For all the profanity and naughty behavior, it has the timid, ingratiating vibe of a television sitcom, sticking to safe and familiar emotional territory.

Although this film's style is soft and colorful, it does not rub out the emotional sharpness of a story dealing with betrayal, suicide and death.

Kékszakállú (2017)
An exercise in constructing a feature almost entirely from artfully composed, incident-lite tableaus.

The Black Prince (2017)
A dramatic life does not necessarily a dramatic film make.

Dunkirk (2017)

Girls Trip (2017)
Consistently manages to rework and even reinvigorate some severely worn-out conceits, setups and character types, mostly by complicating gender roles with class issues.

Santoalla (2017)
The threads that remain hanging imbue this peculiar story of paradise lost with a tragic resonance.

Zulawski's third feature and his first made in France, is in certain respects among his most restrained. (It may be a good introduction to his work.)

This feather-light French confection, written and directed by Paul Calori and Kostia Testut, addresses its dignity-of-work thesis with sweetness and heart.

Chasing Coral (2017)
Apocalyptic sci-fi? This is real life, in the documentary "Chasing Coral."

Wish Upon (2017)
The splatter is deployed cautiously and sometimes wittily, the story moving briskly from wishes granted to costs exacted ...

Blind (2017)
The film, directed by Michael Mailer, wanted to be a steamy romance, but it ended up leaden and occasionally laughable.
Posted Jul 13, 2017
23
The Wrong Light (2017)
In the end, "The Wrong Light" is an engrossing cautionary tale teaching one of philanthropy's oldest lessons: Caveat emptor.

Mike and the Mad Dog (2017)
It's an enjoyable excursion for fans of the longtime radio partners Mike Francesa and Chris Russo.

Mr. Jodorowsky, at 88, shows the irrepressible energy of a man who is just getting started.

There is little to recommend here, even for Huppert completists who follow her anywhere.

Almost Sunrise (2017)
We're left ... feeling we've had only a glimmer of illumination on a vexingly complex problem.

Birthright: A War Story (2017)
The case histories are stacked to support the film's point of view, but that doesn't make them less painful.

A superb example - rare in this era of sloppily constructed, commercially hedged cinematic universes - of clear thinking wedded to inventive technique in popular filmmaking.

Presenting Princess Shaw (2016)
The film, which had a brief theatrical release last year, is a feel-good story for the age of viral video.

Bronx Gothic (2017)
In the end, Ms. Okpokwasili's often academic-sounding exegeses of her work become repetitive.

500 Years (2017)
You may find yourself championing its subjects even while feeling confounded by the omission of details by its filmmaker.

I Am the Blues (2015)
Mr. Rush is amiable company, quick with stories about playing for next to nothing in the 1950s and '60s.
Posted Jul 11, 2017

Tour De Pharmacy (2017)
The film is directed by Jake Szymanski and written by Murray Miller, who paired so well on an earlier installment in what we can only hope will be a series of sports dismantlings.

City of Ghosts (2017)
"City of Ghosts," a blunt instrument of a documentary, is an urgent and heart-heavy account of Syrian resistance from the ground up.

A Ghost Story (2017)
Just when you think you've cracked the film's circumscribed logic, it opens up and goes wild in ways at once too wondrous and too preposterous to spoil.

The House (2017)
A dark, startlingly bloody journey into the bitter, empty, broken heart of the American middle class, a blend of farce and satire built on a foundation of social despair.

The Reagan Show (2017)
"The Reagan Show" helps attach a face to the name, but it doesn't accomplish much more than that.

Mali Blues (2017)
Despite the urgency of the situation the musicians face, when they're not doing their work, the movie is quiet, observant, taking in the austere beauty of the land and the people.

If we don't always know what drives Curie, we see the determination itself. That's enough to keep the film moving along.

Darkness Rising (2017)
Although the script is stuffed with eerie objects and happenings, there is a sense of restraint that keeps "Darkness Rising" from becoming frightening.
