    Augustine
    Sokolinski, a French pop singer better known at home as Soko, is fully in tune with Winocour’s sharp vision. Her intense, almost accusatory turn feels like the opposing image of Keira Knightley’s intellectual neurosis in 2011’s similarly themed “A Dangerous Method.” Where that film found some lightness within the dark, this one drags an historic darkness into the light.

    Frankenweenie
    Burton's extraordinary powers of imagination are in dazzling bloom, from the gorgeous stop-motion animation to the goofy, homemade horror movies the children direct.

    Divine Intervention
    Suleiman isn't much for words, but when he's ready for action, there's no hiding his anger.

    Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys
    For those who've become increasingly conscious of the connections between strangers sharing a city, it's a challenge that's hard to resist.

    Rize
    Exhilarating.

    The Captive
    Surely an Oscar-nominated filmmaker like Atom Egoyan (“The Sweet Hereafter”) can do better than this nasty and unconvincing thriller.

    The Ignorant Fairies
    Though predictable and a bit of a soap opera, Ferzan Ozpetek's Italian drama is saved by the tremendous appeal of its stars, Margherita Buy and Stefano Accorsi.

    Polisse
    If you're the type who unwinds by watching "The Wire" or "Law & Order: SVU," you might appreciate this grim procedural drama from French actress Maïwenn. There's no denying its power: It took home the Jury Prize at Cannes last year. But for most, Polisse will be tough going.

    Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child
    It doesn't dip much below the surface, but Tamra Davis' biography of her friend Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died in 1988, offers an informative introduction to one of contemporary art's most complex figures.

    Liv & Ingmar
    If you’re only a casual observer of Bergman, you’ll find this documentary as inaccessible as his densest works.

    Inception
    When was the last time you had your mind blown by a movie? Because when Inception ends and the lights come up, you'll be sitting in your seat, staring at the screen, wondering what the hell just happened.

    Serenity
    While it's a geek's paradise from scene one, newcomers are likely to feel left out until they get their bearings. Fortunately, Whedon's characteristic humanity, coupled with the slyest sense of humor in Hollywood, greatly eases the transition.

    Computer Chess
    Better to stick with his slightly weird, ultra-focused nerds, who toil away on something strange and special, simply for the beauty of it.

    Ichi the Killer
    This time around, the cult director dispenses with the feminism, the satire, and even the issues, so he can concentrate on his true passion: the dissecting.

    Raja
    There's little to enjoy in this unsettling tale, but Doillan's unblinking depiction of manipulation and desperation stays with you long after the characters make the deals that seal their unjust fates.

    The Armstrong Lie
    There’s so much more to this story — as any number of articles about the people he wronged attest — but this time, Gibney never really gets in gear.

    The Time That Remains
    Unfortunately, the stylistic repetition and intensely one-sided viewpoint only undermine his (Suleiman) goal.

    Bully
    Incredibly enough, it seems many people still believe that bullying is just a matter of "kids being kids." Until that attitude changes, this film should be considered required viewing for every parent, teacher and teenager in America.

    Colette
    As a traditional period biopic, it checks all the boxes in fine fashion. But you’d never know it was inspired by a woman whose life was expansive and contradictory and unwieldy in the extreme.

    Becoming Cousteau
    “Becoming Cousteau” could have used a little more focus on his earthly experiences.

    Love, Gilda
    It’s no easy task to find a fresh way to approach a familiar face, but D’Apolito does a wonderful job ushering us through the highs and lows of Gilda Radner’s life.

    A Woman in Berlin
    Unfortunately, Färberböck never gives us reason enough to sit through such unremitting punishment. Though the story is based in truth, an emotionally removed Hoss feels more like a symbol than an actual person, while her detached narration keeps us at further remove.

    Gods and Monsters
    It has the most beautiful ending of any American film in years, a coda of reconciliation and remembrance set in a gentle L.A. rain.

    Higher Ground
    This would be tricky territory for the most experienced director, but I can't remember the last time I saw organized religion handled in such an even-handed, thoughtful manner.

    Stonewall Uprising
    Many witnesses offer emotional recollections of the ensuing riots, but equally powerful moments come courtesy of old footage, in which anti-gay "experts" expound with a confident ignorance that sounds chillingly familiar even today.

    Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself
    Plimpton recorded many of these adventures in books that are well worth seeking out. But if you don’t have enough time to do so, Bean and Poling have assembled a delightful cheat sheet.

    In Darkness
    It's a transformation as wrenching to watch as it is vital to remember.

    Little Otik
    Must be the smartest -- and most disturbing -- movie about parenthood in ages.

    Into the Abyss
    The story is never less than gripping, but the most important questions disappear into that unbearably bleak abyss.

    Bridge to Terabithia
    Csupo needed two very gifted leads to do this beloved story justice, and found them in AnnaSophia Robb and Josh Hutcherson.
