Mile 22 (2018)
"Mile 22" makes for an appalling referendum on the state of commercial cinema in 2018.

Minding the Gap (2018)

Alpha (2018)

The Wife (2018)
"The Wife" pulls off the not inconsiderable feat of spinning a fundamentally literary premise into an intelligent screen drama that unfolds with real juice and suspense.

Down a Dark Hall (2018)

Notes on an Appearance (2018)
If Mr. D'Ambrose doesn't quite earn his pretensions, it's refreshing to see a filmmaker thinking so far outside the box.

A Whale of a Tale (2018)
"A Whale of a Tale" is a rambling blend of complaint, tourism and straw-men arguments. What it's not is persuasive.

Do You Trust this Computer? (2018)
A sleek and engaging watch.

Memoir of War (La douleur) (2018)
10
We the Animals (2018)
On one level... "We the Animals" is a classic coming-of age tale; on another, it's a near perfect depiction of the emotional damage that can result from economic insecurity.

Certifiably bonkers and cheerfully offensive.

Juliet, Naked (2018)
The abundant, generally on-target sociological details and comic observations feel overdone and superficial, like an elaborately patterned rug laid over an unfinished floor.

Cielo (2017)
Watching it can't help but call attention to the artifice of moviemaking. The sides of the frame are all too visible. Moody woodwinds fill the emptiness of the space.

Zoe (2018)
15
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The Swan (Svanurinn) (2018)
17
Slender Man (2018)
The most perfunctory horror picture I've seen in some time.

18
Madeline's Madeline (2018)
If "Madeline's Madeline" is sometimes unconvincing and frequently unnerving, it is never uninteresting.

BlacKkKlansman (2018)
Don't sleep on this movie.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
20
Skate Kitchen (2018)
"Skate Kitchen" is unfailingly compassionate to, and genuinely appreciative of, the people it chronicles.

317th Platoon (1965)
This is a staggeringly engrossing and effective movie, its settings both beautiful and oppressive, its incidents tense and eye-opening.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
22
BuyBust (2018)
Featuring one villain in leopard pants and another in a bathrobe, "BuyBust" is surprisingly funny for a movie that's basically a massacre in progress.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
23
A Prayer Before Dawn (2018)
24
Dog Days (2018)
On the whole, this picture, which could just as well be titled "Dog, Actually," is sweeter-than-average treacle.

25
Elizabeth Harvest (2018)
Mr. Gutierrez keeps the viewer in the same state of confusion as Elizabeth, but each surprise, paradoxically, makes the movie less and less surprising as a whole.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
26
The Meg (2018)
"The Meg" doesn't seem to know how dumb it is.
Posted Aug 8, 2018
27
The Week Of (2018)
How bad could it be? Well, as the popular "Mad Men" meme goes, it's "Not great, Bob!"
Posted Aug 3, 2018
28
Father of the Year (2018)
A lot of third-tier Farrelly-brothers-influenced gross-out humor.
Posted Aug 3, 2018

Like Father (2018)
It's a predictable comedy of reconciliation. But it boasts substantial pleasures, largely on account of the performers.

Christopher Robin (2018)
31
Navigating troubled culture-war waters with grace, humor and compassion, "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" is a movie that deserves a wide and diverse audience.

Cocote (2018)
I wish I were able to give it an enthusiastic endorsement.
Posted Aug 2, 2018
33
The Darkest Minds (2018)
"The Darkest Minds" plays like a lightning round in which the goal is to hit as many teenage-dystopia tropes as possible.

If you don't know the man, you should, and this is a lively, informative introduction.

35
Never Goin' Back (2018)
The movie has a ramshackle charm that's due entirely to its vivacious leads, whose mutual devotion and easy, unlabeled sexuality feels endearingly innocent.
Posted Aug 2, 2018
36
Night Comes On (2018)
A film that balances penetrating clarity with compassion.
Posted Aug 2, 2018
37
Gavagai (2018)
There are pleasures and intellectual provocations to be had here. But its attempted effects fall flat a little too often.
Posted Aug 2, 2018
38
Mr. Tyrnauer surreptitiously hoses away the layers of dirt to reveal the fragility of his subject's anything-goes hedonism.
Posted Aug 2, 2018
39
Milla (2018)
"Milla" is a major achievement, a film that is at once as delicate as it is strong, a fitting testament to motherhood, to survival.

The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)
41
An absorbing illustration of how minor actions and bad decisions can amplify one another (and have ripple effects of their own)...

Nico, 1988 (2018)
Ms. Nicchiarelli, using brief archival flickers of Warhol's Factory parties, deftly connects the carefree chaos of Päffgen's past to the dark desperation of her present.

Rendezvous in July (1949)
"Rendezvous"... is superabundant in charm, wit and soul, and has many expressive visual touches.

Damascus Cover (2018)

Prairie Trilogy (2018)
Moving and still pertinent depictions of the human realities that animate labor struggles.
Posted Jul 26, 2018
47
Our House (2018)
"Our House" distinguishes itself with its purposeful pacing ... its use of sound and crosscutting, and its wit with household objects, from a turntable to a mechanical calendar.

Puzzle (2018)
Like a bedtime cup of cocoa, Marc Turtletaub's "Puzzle" has a soothing familiarity that quiets the mind and settles the spirit.
