#2
Adjusted Score: 115339%
Critics Consensus: A bigger, bolder Spider-Man sequel, No Way Home expands the franchise’s scope and stakes without losing sight of its humor and heart.
#3
Adjusted Score: 99167%
Critics Consensus: Fueled by powerful acting and a taut, patiently constructed narrative, 99 Homes is a modern economic parable whose righteous fury is matched by its intelligence and compassion.
#4
Adjusted Score: 89670%
Critics Consensus: Small in scale but large in impact, Boy A‘s career making performances (particularly that by star Andrew Garfield) and carefully crafted characters defy judgment and aggressively provoke debate.
#5
Adjusted Score: 98046%
Critics Consensus: tick, tick… BOOM! makes musical magic out of a story focused on the creative process — an impressive feat for debuting director Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Adjusted Score: 91120%
Critics Consensus: While Under the Banner of Heaven gets bogged down by an overabundance of backstory, its procedural through-line is enriched by a thoughtful introspection on personal faith.
#7
Adjusted Score: 97381%
Critics Consensus: Hacksaw Ridge uses a real-life pacifist’s legacy to lay the groundwork for a gripping wartime tribute to faith, valor, and the courage of remaining true to one’s convictions.
#8
Adjusted Score: 96842%
Critics Consensus: Silence ends Martin Scorsese’s decades-long creative quest with a thoughtful, emotionally resonant look at spirituality and human nature that stands among the director’s finest works.
#9
Adjusted Score: 87526%
Critics Consensus: A well-chosen cast and sure-handed direction allow The Amazing Spider-Man to thrill, despite revisiting many of the same plot points from 2002’s Spider-Man.
#10
Adjusted Score: 62530%
Critics Consensus: No consensus yet.
#11
Adjusted Score: 78400%
Critics Consensus: With Never Let Me Go, Mark Romanek has delivered a graceful adaptation that captures the spirit of the Ishiguro novel — which will be precisely the problem for some viewers.
#12
Adjusted Score: 80722%
Critics Consensus: The Eyes of Tammy Faye might have focused more sharply on its subject’s story, but Jessica Chastain’s starring performance makes it hard to look away.
#13
Adjusted Score: 76846%
Critics Consensus: Strong performances from Breathe‘s well-matched leads help add an edge to a biopic that takes a decidedly heartwarming approach to its real-life story.
#14
Adjusted Score: 71754%
Critics Consensus: Terry Gilliam remains as indulgent as ever, but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus represents a return to the intoxicatingly imaginative, darkly beautiful power of his earlier work, with fine performances to match all the visual spectacle.
#15
Adjusted Score: 66315%
Critics Consensus: Under the Silver Lake hits its stride slightly more often than it stumbles, but it’s hard not to admire – or be drawn in by – writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s ambition.
#16
Adjusted Score: 66180%
Critics Consensus: While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters.
#17
Adjusted Score: 37024%
Critics Consensus: Mainstream makes a vain attempt to satirize viral fame, settling instead for obvious commentary that feels painfully dated.
#18
Adjusted Score: 34142%
Critics Consensus: Despite its powerhouse cast, Lions for Lambs feels like a disjointed series of lectures, rather than a sharp narrative, and ends up falling flat.
