What critics say and rankings
Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer ranking placed The Secret Agent at #1 with a 98% score, with the critics consensus calling it "a thematically rich and visually arresting political thriller" that blends grindhouse stylization with biting social commentary. Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s historical vampire sensation starring Michael B. Jordan, drew praise described in the critics consensus as a "rip-roaring fusion of masterful visual storytelling and toe-tapping music" and lists Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton and Jack O'Connell among its cast. Sentimental Value’s critics consensus notes it as "a bracingly mature work" from Joachim Trier, marvelously acted across the board; Train Dreams is described as a "gorgeous meditation on America" anchored by one of Joel Edgerton's best performances, with Joel Edgerton, Clifton Collins Jr., Felicity Jones and Alfred Hsing credited among its cast. One Battle After Another earned a critics consensus calling it an "epic screwball adventure" and lists Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Chase Infiniti and Benicio del Toro among its stars.
