    Mr. Turner
    Spall is best known for his supporting performances (Winston Churchill in “The King’s Speech,” Peter Pettigrew in the “Harry Potter” films). But he’s among the highest class of character actor, able to make a role of any size his own. Leigh has given Spall the gift of a lifetime in J.M.W. Turner.

    The English Patient
    A smashing success on its own terms, though as a transcendent love story it lacks the firm foundation in human reality that characterizes Lars Von Trier's superior "Breaking the Waves."

    Once Upon a Time in Harlem
    This is as essential a historical document as you could ever hope to find. It should be considered required viewing for every American who has the slightest interest in our nation’s history, politics, or culture. And, come to think of it, also for those who don’t.

    Carlos
    Assayas - whose previous work, though noteworthy, never hinted at this kind of ambition - gives the film a journalistic quality, while admitting that only a recombination of facts and fiction could do the story justice. It certainly results in explosive viewing.

    Inside Llewyn Davis
    An evocative vision of self-destruction, a gorgeously crafted time capsule, and a fantastic showcase for Oscar Isaac in the title role.

    The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
    Take us on an indelible tour through the highest and lowest points of the human experience.

    35 Shots of Rum
    There is never a shortage of options if you're looking for an intimate foreign drama about family bonds. But the eloquent insights of director Claire Denis stand alone.

    Remake
    Few films have been more unsparingly intimate.

    The Florida Project
    It’s Prince, though, who lifts the movie into another realm. It’s no exaggeration to say that hers is one of the most noteworthy child performances in recent — or, for that matter, distant — memory. She is so charismatic, and so unfailingly natural, that every one of her scenes feels organic.

    Pulse
    Pulse works as a hypnotic meditation on contemporary alienation. Traditional horror fans, however, will search in vain for signs of life.

    Fighter
    Bar-Lev has created a film remarkable in its ability to capture both the worst and best of human nature.

    Full Grown Men
    Friedlander offers a nicely subtle performance, but the other actors - including Alan Cumming, Deborah Harry and Amy Sedaris - appear to have turned up as a favor to the director. Don't feel obliged to follow their lead.

    Her
    Will you relate more to the bitter, or embrace the sweet? The choice itself is Jonze’s ultimate gift to us: an invitation to leave his film ready to communicate, debate and, most crucially of all, connect.

    Vacancy
    Short, sharp and to the point, Vacancy has a single goal, and that is to scare the hell out of you.

    Waltz with Bashir
    This animated documentary, from former Israeli soldier Ari Folman, blends both tactics to devastating effect. Perhaps only animation could give us the distance that makes his subject bearable: the personal cost of his own participation in the 1982 Lebanon War.

    They Shall Not Grow Old
    This was, undeniably, a risky proposition; no one wants to airbrush history. But by thoughtfully employing cutting-edge technology, Jackson has instead created an essential portal connecting audiences of the present to his subjects in the past.

    Saving Private Ryan
    Steven Spielberg's best war film -- and one of the two or three best movies the director has made.

    First Cow
    Reichardt and her outstanding team ensure that we are fully invested in her striving heroes, and equally anxious for their promising young country, as well.

    Cheerful Weather for the Wedding
    With costumes taking precedence over character, the movie ultimately seems more concerned with atmosphere than action.

    Blue Is the Warmest Color
    Overlong and dramatically thin.

    This Is Not a Film
    It's irrefutably art, and undeniably vital.

    Being John Malkovich
    If we're allowed just a couple of truly singular discoveries in twelve months, it's a good year; when one of them is a film as exhilarating as Spike Jonze's feature debut, it's a banner year.

    A Prophet
    Rahim and Arestrup are both so outstanding that if this were an English-language film, they'd probably be nominated for Oscars, too.

    Once
    Once isn't especially complex, but the chemistry between its appealing leads (who contribute to the lovely score) feels deeply true. You'd have to look awfully hard to find such sincerity in a Hollywood romance.

    Lost Embrace
    Director Daniel Burman examines the ways people cope with the passing of time, whether it's weary mall employees, a broken family or the diminishing Argentinean-Jewish community.

    Whiplash
    Teller delivers a career-making performance as Andrew Neyman, a 19-year-old jazz drummer who wants to be great. Like Buddy Rich great.

    Waking the Dead
    Crudup tends to take average parts in standard genre films and turn them into something special.

    Still Walking
    An usually insightful rendering of an ordinary family, Hirokazu Kore-eda's contemplative Japanese drama is the sort of movie that makes its greatest impact long after you've seen it.
    • 47 Metascore

    The Alto Knights
    If you take The Alto Knights on its own terms – as an eccentric but engaging curio – there’s still plenty of fun to be had.
    • 89 Metascore

    The Artist
    In this film, a single word is worth more than all the expensive effects imaginable.
