    Piggy
    Aided by a dynamite performance from newcomer Laura Galán, Piggy uses the tension of a slasher thriller to weave a painfully relatable tale of adolescent angst gone terribly awry. As body shame and self-loathing morph into a disturbing complicity with violence, Piggy pushes the torments of youth to their naturally wicked ends.

    For They Know Not What They Do
    It is a stirring call to action, and an urgent warning to those who place religion above their child’s survival. Most importantly, however, the film does not judge or speak down to those who most need to hear its message.

    And Then We Danced
    It’s one of the year’s best gay films.

    Beast
    Beast walks the line between taut psychological thriller and doomed genre romance, smartly remaining laser-focused on Moll and her fraying sanity.

    The Proposal
    The film is itself a provocation; a fascinating document of a years-long conceptual project as well as the final (or next) piece of the complicated puzzle.

    Indigo Girls: It's Only Life After All
    "It’s Only Life After All” paints a holistic portrait of two artists who became one, crafting a stirring collage of queer history with the engaging archival footage.

    Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story
    Taking an empathetic and respectful approach, the film follows Baker as he weighs the professional benefits to delaying transition against the joy and relief of fully embracing himself.

    Monica
    Spare but poignant, "Monica" is a pensive family drama that’s loaded with the empty space of things left unsaid.

    Mr. Gaga
    The dancing alone is worth the price of admission, and Naharin is a dynamic if somewhat aloof subject.

    Monogamish
    Ruspoli’s presence in the film elevates Monogamish beyond the predictable talking heads documentary.

    Whitney: Can I Be Me
    The film’s main triumph is in crafting a convincing narrative with a clear point of view.

    Lucky Grandma
    While the plot is not overly complex, Lucky Grandma benefits from a compelling array of supplementary characters.

    Bel Canto
    Like a grand opera, Bel Canto weaves many stories into one sweeping epic.

    Dashcam
    Equal parts confounding, challenging, and insanely fun, “Dashcam” is horror at its most inventive.

    Secret Headquarters
    With a PG-rated humor that parents can enjoy too, Secret Headquarters feels like the movie equivalent of the fun uncle who speaks to you like an adult, but also drives a mean Mario Kart.

    Rough Night
    We’ve yet to see if Kate McKinnon can lead a movie, but she sure as hell can steal one. She did it in “Ghostbusters,” and she did it again in Rough Night, which is surprisingly funny despite a wild premise riddled with potential pitfalls.

    Body Parts
    Objects become subjects in Kristy Guevara-Flanagan’s sweeping yet focused analysis that exposes the truth about the power of images to shape the world’s views of women.

    Tina
    It’s the first documentary about the musical legend, and aside from the fact that no such film would exist without Turner’s approval, it offers an illuminating take on her complicated trajectory while humanizing the larger than life diva.

    Aline
    Surprisingly funny, well-acted, and a little offbeat, Aline is as delightfully kooky as its monumental subject.

    Spirited
    It’s refreshing to see two stars who could have easily phoned it in for the rest of their careers push themselves to try new things. Even more thrilling, they really can sing!

    Welcome to Chechnya
    Welcome to Chechnya is a vital and urgent portrait of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and the world needs to hear about it.

    The Last Resort
    Sweet’s work is a time capsule of a bygone era, preserved in glorious, saturated technicolor. He was the master of the unexpected composition, and in that sense, The Last Resort is a fitting tribute.

    Lingua Franca
    Lingua Franca illustrates the woefully untapped potential of marginalized storytellers.
    • 55 Metascore

    Consequences
    Consequences thrums with a vibrant current — propelled by a dizzying churn of cigarettes, cocaine, fistfights, and shirtless young men — until arriving at its predictably explosive conclusion. The film’s perspective may be austere, but its heart is defiantly exuberant.

    The Stroll
    Enduring racist policing, violence, poverty, and employment discrimination; they also found joy, humor, sisterhood, and community. By celebrating these women’s humanity and spirit without minimizing their hardships, that duality is what makes The Stroll so markedly different than what’s come before it.

    Loving Highsmith
    As seen through the eyes of her former lovers (merely a few of many), Highsmith’s life is brought sharply into focus, revealing as much about her humanity as her work.
    • 69 Metascore

    Of an Age
    While Of an Age leans a little heavily toward sentimentality at times, a sharp wit and a few wild shifts in tone keep things afloat.

    My Life as a Zucchini
    A testament to the power of community to heal the deepest wounds, My Life As A Zucchini takes on heavy subject matter with a light hand, and comes up with a delightful tale that is equal parts wrenching and uplifting.

    Porno
    This gory teen comedy blends laughably outrageous carnage with a legitimately scary plot to delightful ends. Throw in a winking fetish for cinephile culture and audiences are sure to go wild for the gutsy film.

    Minyan
    In Minyan, the arresting and evocative feature film debut from documentary filmmaker Eric Steel, the search for answers turns up far more riches than any half-baked conclusion ever could.
