Our Picks for the Best Movies of Fall 2017
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 3:44 p.m.

Pax Jolie-Pitt and Netflix
First They Killed My Father:
It would have been easy for Angelina Jolie's adaptation of Cambodian genocide survivor Loung Ung's 2000 memoir to go ruthlessly and repeatedly for the emotional jugular. First They Killed My Father is, after all, the story of a young girl hurled into one of the 20th century's most unthinkable nightmares. But the film unspools with admirable discipline and verve. This is Jolie's most accomplished work yet.

Our Picks for the Best Movies of Fall 2017
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 released this fall. 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 before the end of 2017.
