  1. What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?
    At 150 minutes, What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? could easily have been shorter and still achieved its intended emotional and aesthetic effects. But a river isn’t less pleasant for meandering before it reaches the ocean: if this is how it has to happen before we lose the thread of Lisa and Giorgi’s lives in the flow of others, then so be it.

    Eighth Grade
    This is a story about Kayla but really it is everyone’s story, impossible to recognise when you are in the midst of it but comforting to know that, even back then, you were never really alone.
  3. Utama
    An understated but spectacularly mounted drama.
  4. Cold Water (1994)
    Equal parts arthouse cinema and coming-of-age drama, the influence of his tribute to teen rebellion remains deeply felt.
  5. Wake in Fright (1971)
    A jolting cinematic experience, Wake in Fright bites like a dingo and kicks like a mule.
  6. Martin Eden
    The film’s strongest element and most necessary comes with Luca Marinelli’s performance.
  7. Ghostbusters
    Yes, the cynical argument that Sony needed a franchise to hold its own against the might of Marvel may have something in it. But put the cynicism aside and what you have is a hilarious action-comedy that puts four great comedic women front and centre, with Feig dexterously balancing homage with originality.
  8. The Other Side of the Wind
    It is remarkably good.
  9. The Offence
    The Offence is almost the definition of murk, unrelenting and unforgiving.
  10. Outlaw King
    Outlaw King is proof positive that Pine is one of the most underestimated actors in modern cinema.
  11. Passing
    An impressive, lingering debut from Hall, Passing exists as a fragile, precious, impossible reverie within a snow globe that could shatter at any moment.
  12. The Climb
    Covino’s brilliant comedy is original and smartly entertaining: a celebration of male friendship in all its ups and downs.

    Piranha
    A delight; a silly B-movie with a smart script and an amusing anti-authoritarian undercurrent.
  14. Fourteen
    Rich with scenes of affection and reconciliation, the most charming thing about Fourteen is the degree to which Sallitt finds a balance between his own brand of independent filmmaking and the kind of French middle-class realism he’s clearly influenced by.
  15. Let the Sunshine In
    Bright Sunshine In is a pithily precise portrait of the love life of an artist.
  16. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck
    What Brett Morgen crafts for his audience - in what may very well come to be known as the definitive documentary on the musician - with Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) is simply stunning. Morgen runs his coverage of Cobain from the cradle to the grave.
  17. Hail Satan?
    The Temple’s antics are a hilarious middle finger to the establishment, while, their stand against hypocrisy and the Evangelical Right’s blatantly theocratic mission to take control of the levers of power feels vital.

    Carol
    A beautiful entity, near flawless in design, any talk of accolades certainly seems justified.
  19. Whitney
    MacDonald’s Whitney is compellingly told with compassion and style, showing just how great a gift Houston was blessed with, but also the demons that pursued her all her life to its tragic end.
  20. The Cave
    The Cave is a raw, urgent film about one of the great humanitarian crimes of our times, made all the starker for the utter lack of a global response.
  21. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
    Is Raimi’s latest effort as rich as Spider-Man 2, as revolutionary as The Evil Dead or as fun as Drag Me to Hell? No. But within the self-imposed confines of the studio machine, Multiverse of Madness is about as entertaining as it’s possible to be.
  22. The Man from Mo'Wax
    While it’s obvious that fans of Lavelle and his many creative ventures will get the most out of The Man From Mo’Wax, this remains a fascinating insight into both the hubris and vulnerability of the music industry, which never shies away from casting it’s subject matter in a sometimes unfavourable light.
  23. Daughter of Mine
    A bold and colourful, but by no means superficial portrait of femininity, Daughter of Mine successfully embodies a set of ideas – and anxieties – about motherhood that eloquently reflect a contemporary need to reevaluate the traditional family unit.
  24. Bullet Train
    David Leitch once again proves himself one of the most adept action directors in Hollywood.
  25. Ghost Town Anthology
    Inviting mystery, ambiguity, and a pervasive sense of unease, Ghost Town Anthology is an entrancing yet unsettling allegory that builds like the pressure of an approaching storm that never quite arrives.
  26. Catch Me Daddy
    Despite falling into the occasional genre trap, every step of Catch Me Daddy points to a pair of filmmakers unafraid to make brave and interesting choices.
  27. Only Angels Have Wings
    Grant is absolutely superb as the impassive Geoff.
  28. The Wild Goose Lake
    The editing might be unexpected, unconventional, a bit annoying, but it is also very smart. Creating as it does a vital tension between plot and theme, pushing the two characters unrelentingly towards an event horizon and black hole denouement.
