Jana Nayagan is Vijay's farewell to cinema, a three-hour Tamil mass action drama that electrifies as a star event but sags under its political messaging.
Jangan Buang Ibu is an Indonesian family drama about a mother abandoned by her children, lifted by Nirina Zubir's raw performance and a welcome sense of restraint.
Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia →Kanto is Ensar Altay's Turkish drama about a woman with dementia who vanishes into the snow, a restrained, quietly devastating study of caregiving and family guilt.
Kardeş Takımı 3 is the Turkish family spy comedy's billed finale, adding time travel to the formula but finding little new to do beyond slapstick and gadgets.
Kıble: Bitlisli Belkıs is Turkish folk horror about orphaned sisters and a healer said to speak with djinn. Its distinctive folklore is let down by stock scares.
Lady is Olive Nwosu's assured debut about a Lagos cab driver drawn into a circle of women working the city's nightlife. A vivid study of friendship and survival.
Leviticus is Adrian Chiarella's Australian queer horror debut, in which two teenage boys face a monstrous force unleashed by conversion therapy. Tender and angry.
Lucky Strike is Rod Lurie's Battle of the Bulge survival thriller, with Scott Eastwood as an officer trapped behind German lines. It is capable but predictable.
México 86 is Gabriel Ripstein's satire of how Mexico landed the 1986 World Cup, with Diego Luna as a bluffing bureaucrat. It is breezy and well cast but too polite.
Michael is Antoine Fuqua's authorized Michael Jackson biopic, electric whenever Jaafar Jackson performs and cautious to the point of timidity everywhere else.
Minions & Monsters sends Gru's henchmen into a failing monster-movie studio, and its love of old Hollywood horror makes it the liveliest Minions film in years.
Disney's live-action Moana is a handsome, near scene-for-scene remake of the 2016 musical. Catherine Lagaʻaia shines, but the film never finds a reason to exist.
Motor City is a near-wordless 1970s Detroit revenge thriller built on Alan Ritchson's physicality and a rock-and-disco soundtrack. Stylish, lean, and thin on story.
Mutluyuz Mu? is a Turkish family comedy sequel in which divorced parents fake a happy marriage for their daughter's holiday. A promising setup wasted on stale jokes.
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie takes Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol's cult Toronto mockumentary to the big screen: fearless, ridiculous and often hilarious.
Nouvelle Vague is Richard Linklater's buoyant French-language comedy about Jean-Luc Godard shooting Breathless in 1959 Paris, a love letter to making films on nerve.
Obsession is Curry Barker's darkly funny horror romance about a lovesick clerk whose wish for a co-worker's devotion comes true, then curdles into something monstrous.
Our Hero, Balthazar is Oscar Boyson's prickly dark comedy about a privileged New York teen chasing a heroic role, with Jaeden Martell and Asa Butterfield.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man brings Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby back for a brooding wartime crime film, a handsome send-off built for the show's fans.
People We Meet on Vacation is Brett Haley's friends-to-lovers romcom from Emily Henry's novel, lifted by Emily Bader and Tom Blyth but cautious in its storytelling.
Power Ballad is John Carney's warm Dublin music comedy-drama in which Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas are bound together by a hit song and the question of who wrote it.
Pressure is Anthony Maras's Second World War drama about the forecast behind D-Day, with Andrew Scott as a stubborn meteorologist and Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower.
Project Hail Mary is Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, with Ryan Gosling as a teacher sent to save the Sun and a friendship at its core.
Psicópata: El Asesino del Conejo Blanco is a Mexican serial-killer thriller with interesting ideas about trauma, undone by a muddled script and a clashing villain.
