Our Critics' Picks for Movies to See ASAP

Watching movies for a living is a tough job, but somebody's got to do it, and our film critics are up to the task. While they see plenty of stellar movies, they see some not-so-great ones, too. They've weeded through them all to give you their picks for some of the best films of August 2017. If a few haven't opened in a theater near you just yet, don't fret: There's always a chance you'll be able to stream them on your small screen, or they may go into wider release in September.
