    Tenet
    Tenet is a practically perfect (re)introduction to the big screen. Whether audiences are ready – where safe – to return to cinemas en masse is another question entirely. Certainly, Tenet’s a more challenging film than some may be comfortable with after a five-month absence, but this is an all-too-rare example of a master filmmaker putting everything on the table with, you sense, not a modicum of his vision compromised. The stakes have never been higher, but Tenet is exactly the film cinemas need right now.

    Blade Runner 2049
    An exquisitely crafted sequel that stands shoulder to shoulder with one of the greatest films ever made. Everyone involved is operating at the height of their powers.

    One Battle After Another
    Paul Thomas Anderson's bravura comic satire is a serious film of the year contender, and one of the best studio movies in years. An instant classic.

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
    Visually astonishing, emotionally daring, this spectacular sequel has enough wit, imagination and thrills to fill several worlds. But prepare to be left hanging till the sequel hits screens.

    Time Bandits
    Wonderfully whimsical children’s fantasy about a young boy’s journey through the space-time continuum in the company of six cantankerous dwarves.

    Joker
    More character study than comic book movie, and anchored by an Oscar-worthy Joaquin Phoenix, Joker is a bravura blockbuster that proves you don’t need superpowered scraps to dazzle.

    The Lighthouse
    Proves The Witch was no fluke. Dafoe and Pattinson dazzle in a luminous exercise in maritime madness.

    Thor: Love and Thunder
    Unashamedly absurd, wildly entertaining and face-achingly funny, Love And Thunder makes Ragnarok look like Bresson. Another classic Thor adventure.

    Isle of Dogs
    A barking mad shaggy dog story with imagination to spare. 13/10, would watch again.

    Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
    A stupid film made by very smart people, Subsequent Moviefilm has a noble intent at odds with the loathsome figures that populate it. It’s never quite as gut-bustingly funny as the 2006 original, but you get the sense that wasn’t what Cohen was going for. By simply holding a mirror up to the rampant hypocrisy, division and hatred across America and giving bigots the rope to hang themselves, Borat feels more relevant and necessary than ever.

    Loveless
    This chilly thriller is another highly accomplished feature to add to a formidable body of work.

    You Were Never Really Here
    Lynne Ramsay returns with a scuzzy, stripped-back thriller focused on the man, rather than the mission.
    • 72 Metascore

    Promising Young Woman
    Carey Mulligan is electric in a blackly comic #MeToo revenge thriller fuelled by righteous fury.

    A Real Pain
    While the film occasionally pushes you to feel as deeply as Benji, something it can’t quite pull off, there is a profundity to David and Benji’s pilgrimage that leaves an unmistakable impression.

    Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood
    Tarantino’s ode to Hollywood is his best since "Jackie Brown"; an evocative and disarmingly heartfelt LA story, capped by a finale you won’t forget.’
    • 87 Metascore

    The Banshees of Inisherin
    McDonagh’s latest is a worthy In Bruges reunion: smart, funny, deeply felt.

    Coco
    It may lack the ingenuity of their finest outings, but this is Pixar’s best film in ages. Visually splendid, frequently emotional and culturally nourishing.

    The Death of Stalin
    The Death of Stalin review: "A frighteningly funny satire that finds humour in historical horror"

    Spiral: From the Book of Saw
    That a formula as well-trodden as Saw’s can still surprise, delight, and make you feel like you need a quick shower after is impressive.

    Moonage Daydream
    Unconventional, almost to a fault, Brett Morgen’s impressionistic, experiential Bowie documentary is an electrifying oddity.
    • 85 Metascore

    The Handmaiden
    A ravishing period piece that simmers with sexual tension while pulling off some dazzling narrative gymnastics.
    • 69 Metascore

    Spider-Man: Far from Home
    Another home run for the MCU that puts Pete’s responsibilities in a post-Iron Man world front and centre during a rib-tickling summer romance. Whatever you do, don’t skip the credits.

    Get Out
    It lacks the subtlety of Night of the Living Dead, but deftly balances laughs and bloody thrills.

    Sorry We Missed You
    Cut from the same cloth as I, Daniel Blake, Loach’s latest is a powerful state-of-the-nation dispatch.

    Sweet Country
    The beauty of Alice Springs offers a profound contrast with the ugly acts committed by its inhumane colonists.

    A Hidden Life
    A Hidden Life is the most soulful war movie since "The Thin Red Line": elegiac, emotional and exquisitely shot. Malick’s back!
    • 64 Metascore

    Elvis
    The toe-tapping beats of this full-throated biopic will be familiar in more ways than one but Baz Luhrmann, like Elvis, knows how to put on a great show. Butler’s Best Actor chatter starts here.
    • 72 Metascore

    The Batman
    A gripping, grimy and sensational street-level detective story, the Dark Knight’s triumphant return is exactly the fresh start needed after a decade of diminishing returns.

    Beau Is Afraid
    Like many an auteur filmmaker’s passion project, it’s a huge swing that doesn’t always fully connect, and one that undoubtedly peaks too soon. But at a time when safe-bet sequels, franchise extensions and movies built on brand recognition are more prevalent than ever, the fact that something so singular exists and succeeds on its own terms is something to be celebrated.
