10) Driveways
In Andre Ahn’s touching indie, Dennehy is Korean War vet Del, who comes to befriend socially awkward young Cody (Lucas Jaye) after the boy and his mother Kathy (Hong Chau) take up temporary residence next door, cleaning out the pigsty that used to belong to Kathy’s deceased sister. All three of these characters are suffering in their own distinct ways, due to a combination of loss, loneliness and fear.


9) Mulan

If you grew up with the original, like me, you’re already locked and loaded into this new live-action version. I love that they’ve cast talented Chinese actors who, by the looks of it, are absolutely crushing the material. The fact that some of the classic Disney music plays softly in the background of the trailer will also hit your nostalgia button, hard.

8) Bad Education

Trading the stock market for the public education system, director Cory Finley’s wry docudrama, which takes its inspiration from a wild New York Magazine feature from 2004, charts the tragi-comic downfall of Roslyn School District superintendent Frank Tassone (Hugh Jackman), a charming and beloved administrator in a rising wealthy area. Using a high school newspaper reporter as an audience surrogate (Geraldine Viswanathan), the script withholds key details of Frank’s life for large sections of the runtime, allowing Jackman to give a performance that gradually reveals new layers of emotional complexity and moral emptiness.

7) The Assistant
The Assistant builds its claustrophobic world through a steady accumulation of information. While some of the writing can feel too imprecise and opaque by design, Garner, who consistently steal scenes in our movies invests every hushed phone call and carefully worded email with real trepidation. We never learn the name of the tyrannical boss in the story and the exact nature of his crimes are never fully revealed; instead, Julia Garner’s assistant Jane, a Northwestern grad fresh off a handful of internships, provides our entryway into the narrative. The movie tracks her duties, tasks, and indignities over the course of a single day: She makes copies, coordinates air travel, picks up lunch orders, answers phone calls, and cleans suspicious stains off the couch.

6) Bad Boys For Life
Bad Boys For Life is a gentler, sillier movie than its predecessor, less interested in moments of vulgarity than in scenes of sitcom-like human connection and familial melodrama.Smith and Lawrence easily slip back into the roles that made them action movie icons in the ’90s and the writers find a way to update the garish, over-the-top aesthetic of the series for the franchise era. The two jokes about getting too old for this shit, but the material is given a light touch that lets the two stars do what they do best.

5) Sorry We Missed You
Sorry We Missed You, the latest working class social drama from 83-year-old English filmmaker Ken Loach, is a harsh reminder that those piles of cardboard Amazon boxes have a human cost. The film follows married couple Ricky (Kris Hitchen) and Abbi (Debbie Honeywood) as they attempt to raise their two kids, keep their humble home in Newcastle, and and hold down jobs stripped of conventional protections.
Though the script leans too hard on melodrama in its final stretch, setting up scenes that don’t always deliver on their dramatic potential, Loach never loses his moral grasp on the material.

4)Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Quiet and watchful, Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) observes the world around her from benches, bus seats, and doctor’s office chairs, dragging an enormous suitcase through the drab interiors of various midtown locations.She’s joined by her cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder), who wants to be a supportive friend and sounding board. The movie’s most striking image shows the two holding hands in a moment of shared vulnerability, like their bond transcends language.

3) Lost Girls
Mari Gilbert turns to law enforcement for help when her daughter shannan goes missing on long island but all the police reclutant on this search because her daughter was a prostitute. Meanwhile mistery unfolds after much persuasion from Mari for further research and this leads to the uncovering of several dead bodies of young girls.


2) Da 5 Blood
Lee holds nothing back in recounting this sprawling tale, employing different aspect ratios and film stocks, plentiful Marvin Gaye tunes, flashbacks, shout-outs to Black Lives Matter, denunciations of President Trump. Nonetheless, Lee’s action-movie investigation of internal, domestic and global racial dynamics—and defiance—thrums with timely anguish and fury


1)First Cow
A wealthy landowner (Toby Jones) brings the first cow to the region, and Cookie and King-Lu decide to steal the cow’s milk at night and use it to bake sweet honey biscuits, which they sell at the local market. The story has an allegorical quality, gently pulling at classic American notions of hope, ambition, and deception.
