  1. The Kid Stays in the Picture
    A candy store for film buffs.
  2. Startup.com
    For sheer dramatic wallop outpowers virtually every fiction feature I've seen this year.
  3. Harry Is Here to Help
    A suspenseful and delightfully creepy French drama.
  4. The Full Monty
    The comic moments in this ingratiating bit of malarkey from director Peter Cattaneo and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (both TV trained, both making their feature debuts) are winning.
  5. Roger Dodger
    A little too programmed in its despair, but it coasts along on the jagged music of the modern lothario's song.
  6. Liberty Heights
    But Levinson's passion to explain how he got from there to ''Sphere'' gives Liberty Heights its own farkatke Hollywood integrity.
  7. The Deserted Station
    Slow going, but I mean it as no insult when I say that it bored me, in the end, to tears.
  8. Kitchen Stories
    The icy whimsy of Kitchen Stories is certainly well sustained, but you don't laugh at the movie so much as wait for the joke to thaw.
  9. Les amitiés maléfiques
    While the young people chatter about life and literature with sometimes overbearing self-satisfaction, the astute filmmaker observes their pretentious gum-flapping with a mixture of amusement, compassion, and wised-up rue.
  10. Whitney
    Whitney feels like the kind of film anyone who cared at all about her should see: the fullest portrait yet — if one that will always, inevitably fall short — of a singular artist and human being who may have eluded understanding in the end, but still gave the world far more than she ever got back.
  11. Catch Me If You Can
    The film's charm ends up worn out by the very perfection of Frank's con. We look at this teen wizard of rotating identity, and we realize we know everything about him except who he is.
  12. X-Men: Days of Future Past
    Not surprisingly, the best thing about Days of Future Past is that it's heavier on the days past than future.
  13. Land of Mine
    Land of Mine is essentially bomb porn.
  14. Thoroughbreds
    What begins as a gleefully nasty piece of work gradually picks up more nuance as it goes, adding dimensions to characters who could easily have coasted on the story’s arched-eyebrow burlesque.
  15. The LEGO Batman Movie
    LEGO Batman revs so fast and moves so frenetically that 
it becomes a little exhausting by the end. It flirts with being too much of a good thing. But rarely has corporate brainwashing been so much fun and gone down with such a delightful aftertaste.
  16. A Prairie Home Companion
    What sustains the film is the performers' belief in their shaggy-dog selves, which is more than just talent - it's faith.
  17. Funny or Die Presents: Donald Trump's the Art of the Deal: The Movie
    It’s utterly demented, slightly terrifying, and most of all hilarious. It’s also one of the giddiest and most stinging political satires since Thomas Nast took on Tammany Hall.
    • 75 Metascore

    Microbe and Gasoline
    By the end of Microbe & Gasoline, we feel a little closer to the boy who made the man behind the camera as a result.
  19. Must Read After My Death
    Did granny intend this stuff for strangers? We'll never know. File this ''therapeutic'' movie, well made and creepy, on the dysfunction-as-art shelf next to "Capturing the Friedmans."
  20. Baadasssss!
    The beauty of Baadasssss! is the way Mario Van Peebles salutes his father's truth by coaxing it into legend.
  21. Trainwreck
    Beneath all of his bad-boy shtick, Apatow’s always been a pretty conventional moralist. But Schumer gives their raunchy rom-com enough of her signature spikiness to prevent it from ever feeling predictable.
  22. The Specialist
    This lone, fallen Nazi's obsessive distance from his actions is enough to give The Specialist a lingering chill.
  23. Secret Ballot
    Charms with its amalgam of absurdity, optimism, humor, and avuncular regard for the million small daily chores, rituals, suspicions, and courtesies of dwellers on even the sparsest spots on earth.
  24. The Believer
    Bean's commitment to serious theological examination is exciting, Gosling's performance is riveting, and this fiery and imperfect feature shines as a demonstration of independent filmmaking at its most uncompromising.
  25. About a Boy
    Hugh Grant has grown up, holding on to his lightness and witty cynicism but losing the stuttering sherry-club mannerisms that were once his signature. In doing so, he has blossomed into the rare actor who can play a silver-tongued sleaze with a hidden inner decency.
  26. In This World
    Realer and more consequential than much being packaged for TV and movies these days as ''reality,'' the fictional In This World unfolds with the deceptive dispassion of a documentary, but builds with a sure sense of dramatic epic.
  27. Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst
    A gripping documentary that uses voluminous period evidence — unedited news footage, tape recordings of SLA leader Cinque's rants — to brilliantly reconstruct the entire freak event.
  28. Emily
    There's something gently intoxicating about O'Connor's dreamlike pastoral settings — oh, those wily, windy moors! — and her determination not just to rewrite Emily, but set her free.
  29. This Film Is Not Yet Rated
    Has a bright, dishy spirit.
  30. 10,000 km
    It’s a decent critique of romance in the digital age—until you realize how boring it is to watch people break up on Facebook.
