  1. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
    A puzzle of a highly rarefied order. At times it's enthrallingly clever and subtle; at others it's borderline incomprehensible.
  2. Support the Girls
    To see a black female over 40 holding the center of a story about ordinary, unsung lives makes Support a low-key pleasure; one that transcends its own shaggy narrative.
  3. Half Nelson
    Half Nelson offers an opportunity to marvel, once again, at the dazzling talent of Ryan Gosling for playing young men as believable as they are psychologically trip-wired.
  4. Vincere
    Mezzogiorno (Love in the Time of Cholera) plays Dalser with the kind of fervent intensity once seen in silent films.
  5. The Fabulous Baker Boys
    Nearly every scene is a jazz-tinged, virtuoso actors’ duet.
  6. The Insider
    A good but far from great movie because it portrays truth telling in America as far more imperiled than it is.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Victim
    While some may be put off by talk of ”abnormalities,” the inner struggle depicted so poignantly in Victim has not dated at all.
  8. Love and Diane
    Riveting family portrait.
  9. About Schmidt
    The power of this great movie -- part comedy, part tragedy, part satire, mostly masterpiece -- is in the details.
  10. Domestic Violence
    Wiseman reveals the victims of domestic abuse in all of their pity and terror.
  11. Hero
    I wish 'Hero's emotional heat rose more intensely -- more recklessly. There's something grand but distant and almost fetishistic about the operatic solemnity with which Zhang approaches the Rashomonic story of assassins attempting to kill a king.
  12. Neil Young: Heart of Gold
    Young, wizened yet valiant, his voice still braying at the moon, delivers these songs of aging and loss as if caught in a beautiful dream of what lies waiting for him on the other side.
  13. Mudbound
    I’m not quite sure how Rees (2011’s Pariah) has done it, exactly, but the depth of heartbreak and humanity in this — just her second feature film — is remarkable.
  14. Passing
    It feels like an actor's film: a delicate, melancholy study in black and white, nearly every scene filled with careful silences and subtext.
  15. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
    Mitchell directs and stars in the riotous, loving, and only occasionally pathos-milking film adaptation of his own acclaimed Off Broadway play, with great up-your-ante music and lyrics by Stephen Trask.
  16. Holy Motors
    An exhilarating puzzle, one of the grand cinematic eruptions of the year.
  17. Unforgiven
    As enjoyable as most of Unforgiven is, Eastwood's shades-of-gray moralism feels like a whitewash.
  18. The Dark Knight
    At two hours and 32 minutes, this is almost too much movie, but it has a malicious, careening zest all its own. It's a ride for the gut AND the brain.
  19. Everybody Wants Some!!
    There’s Glen Powell as Finn, the endearing loquacious smoothie; there’s Juston Street as Jay, the psycho loose-cannon fireballer; and Wyatt (son of Kurt) Russell as Willoughby, the older, sage-like stoner who quotes Carl Sagan after ripping bong hits.
  20. The Past
    The Past, is hugely ambitious — it's Farhadi seizing his moment — yet it's also a wrenchingly intimate tale of lives torn asunder by forces within and without them.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Cinderella
    The character gags work, the dreamlike ball sequence still induces swooning, and if you aren’t on the edge of your seat for the climactic fitting, it’s time to get back on the romanticism meds.
  22. One Child Nation
    If One Child sometimes seems to raise more questions than it can answer, and more pain than it has room to explore, the movie offers an urgent and affecting reminder of what happens when the rule of law subsumes not just free will but the very act of existing — and the humanity that still, against all odds, endures.
  23. 24 Hour Party People
    An insider nostalgia trip for graying art punks. It could have been called ''When We Were Cool,'' and it's finally so cool that it freezes you out.
  24. Atonement
    In the end -- an ending of such power and narrative originality (in both book and movie) that those who know it ought never breathe a word to those who don't.
  25. The Tree of Life
    Malick clings to the promise of grace: His vision of the afterlife is a dreamy beach, enhanced by an excellent playlist of fine classical music, and promising the peace that surpasses all understanding. Plus a beautiful sky.
  26. The Fabelmans
    Because it's Spielberg, it's all beautifully, meticulously rendered, and not a little glazed in wistful sentiment: an infinitely tender, sometimes misty ode to the people who raised him and the singular passion for cinema that shaped him.
  27. The Host
    Bong Joon-ho's wildly entertaining saga should become the hip, thinking-person's monster movie of choice.
  28. Das Boot
    Sweaty and claustrophobic, exciting and horrifying at the same time, it never lets us forget we're riding aboard a giant, primitive tin can, a hunk of industrial machinery that mingles the illusion of omnipotence with the reality of a floating prison cell. [Director's Cut]
  29. Restrepo
    It's doubtful you'll ever see a combat documentary that channels the chaos of war as thoroughly as this one.
  30. The Iron Giant
    At times, The Iron Giant is more serene than it needs to be, but it's a lovely and touching daydream.
