Good Time (2017)

The Dark Tower (2017)
It gets where it's going fast enough, but you don't feel like you've traveled anywhere at all.

Besson's trying to cram in as much as he possibly can, but the more he overstuffs the movie, the emptier it feels.

Girls Trip (2017)
Among the funniest movies of the year, period.

Landline (2017)
A uniformly excellent cast and some genuinely moving moments make it easy to fall for, especially if you're a fan of Obvious Child's returning star, Jenny Slate.

Dunkirk (2017)
The swift-moving, pulse-pounding Dunkirk reveals its filmmaker at his most nimble, supple, and simple.

A Ghost Story (2017)
In its brief sojourn on the screen, A Ghost Story moves through centuries of geologic time and into the deepest recesses of the human heart.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Okja (2017)
One of Okja's great charms lies in its director's ability to vary tone, pacing, and style between scenes without losing the viewer's patience and sympathy.

Baby Driver (2017)
In Edgar Wright's Baby Driver, even the machine guns fire in time with the beat.

The Beguiled (2017)
There's something underfurnished about this movie, a lack of historical, intellectual, and thematic richness.

All Eyez on Me (2017)
The last 20 minutes or so of the film try desperately to create drama out of an ending we all already know, milking every moment for maximum ominousness.

The Big Sick (2017)
This movie keeps a lot of balls in the air: generational and cultural conflict, hospital drama, screwball banter-and only rarely lets one drop.

It Comes At Night (2017)
[A] spare but savage horror movie ...

The Mummy (2017)
Universal might have found more tonal consistency if it just straight-up remade Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
Posted Jun 8, 2017
17
Wonder Woman (2017)
This is a movie about battling evil that pauses to ask what evil is and whether it's necessary to understand its nature in order to defeat it.

I found Dead Men Tell No Tales to be passably fun and certainly no harder to watch than any of the better-pedigreed blockbusters this year.

Baywatch (2017)
Baywatch is surprisingly without sexism or condescension: It's equal-opportunity stupid.

War Machine (2017)
That War Machine is not a better movie is particularly unfortunate given how well-timed it is.

Alien: Covenant (2017)
Even as a cog in a machine, Covenant isn't a very important one.

Snatched (2017)
While you're waiting for Snatched to appall you, it turns out to be a pretty darn enjoyable movie, one that's winning, sweet at times, and consistently very funny.

All sequels repeat the best tricks of their predecessors, but director James Gunn's choice of tricks is way more fun than most ...

Risk (2017)
26
The Circle (2017)
The movie's characterizations are broad and bland, and the haphazard editing leaves apparently major figures stranded for long stretches of the story ...

The Fate of the Furious (2017)
It feels like the movies have gotten as big as they can get, and the gleeful absurdity that drove them is losing ground to the specter of obligation.

The Lost City of Z (2017)
Given Fawcett's trailblazing achievements -- and Gray's choice to film in difficult circumstances deep in the Colombian jungle -- the film is oddly restrained.

Colossal (2017)
30
Song to Song (2017)
Even at his most indulgent, Malick brings something to the movies that no one else ever has, a way of looking at the world that is easily imitated but has never been equaled.

T2 Trainspotting (2017)
For those of us who have survived our own rollercoaster friendships, T2's trip is far more intense than Trainspotting's youthful highs.

Raw (2017)
Raw is the French cannibal sex movie to end all French cannibal sex movies, a truly fearless descent into total degradation. I recommend it highly.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
You'll probably walk away longing to revisit the original for the ump-hundredth time. But isn't that the point?

Logan (2017)
It's Unforgiven, with claws.

Get Out (2017)
36
Maudlin and unrealistic, it's also a lot less funny than what came before.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)
Here we are again: watching two anatomical marvels writhe meaninglessly in the moonlight, like a burlesque performed by bots.

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

The Salesman (Forushande) (2017)
The two storylines interweave seamlessly and subtly, the couple's real-life problems not so much repeating as refracting the experiences of their fictional counterparts.

Split (2017)
Shyamalan has made the straightest thriller of his career, nearly free of the misguided detours and bonkers twists that made him famous. You wish it were messier.

Like Ghibli's classic films, especially Hayao Miyazaki's, it lavishes as much attention on the natural world as the creatures who inhabit it.

Patriots Day (2017)
A film content with the charming, if chuckleheaded, cartoon of the Boston local that Wahlberg has regularly inhabited throughout his career.

Silence (2017)
Though it contains many scenes of prolonged suffering and a few shocking moments of graphic violence, Silence bears a contemplative stillness at its heart.

Assassin's Creed (2016)
I suppose you could say the film made me slightly more likely to play one of the games, but only because I'd do just about anything before I saw this movie again.

I, Daniel Blake (2017)
When the system is rigged, trying to do the right thing wears a man down.

Passengers (2016)
For audiences expecting a two-hour charm offensive, Passengers is not the movie you think you're going to see. It's something considerably darker and dumber.
