  1. Exotica
    Like Christina’s dance, the movie is a gorgeous tease, an artful promise of something that never quite arrives.
  2. The Thomas Crown Affair
    A romp of romantic larceny built out of spare parts we've seen in countless other films.
  3. Rejoice and Shout
    The film is a bit too chronological, but its historical reverence is true to gospel's joyful insistence on locating the spiritual in the everyday.
  4. Berlin
    Berlin is far from the lost masterpiece the movie wants it to be.
  5. M3GAN
    The tart in-jokes and absurdity of the script, its winky acknowledgment of all the tropes gone before it, feels like a delirious cap on recent genre hits like Barbarian and Malignant.
  6. God Grew Tired of Us
    God Grew Tired of Us never brings us half as close to its subjects as the far more penetrating "Lost Boys of Sudan" did in 2004.
  7. Aimee & Jaguar
    Färberböck's sensual adaptation is a matter of fact embrace of the unconventional and dangerous during a terrible time.
  8. Kissing Jessica Stein
    All too content to be a comedy of surfaces and stereotypes. And because, for all the novelty of the bisexual romantic angle, there's something about Jessica, her New York-singleton ticks and her Jewish-family tocks, that feels...old.
  9. Seabiscuit
    Trembles with respect for Hillenbrand's book. It's hobbled by good intentions, grand plans for telling many stories at once, and a fear of the very audience whose intelligence and sophistication it claims to court.
  10. Always Shine
    The too-clever conceit sabotages the whole thing.
  11. A Secret
    The filmmaker's decision to shoot the past in color and the present in murky black and white is an inspired visual translation of psychological truth.
  12. 3-Iron
    3-Iron is like a Raymond Carver story that slowly, inexorably takes on the dimensions of a ghostly fairy tale.
  13. Earth
    This super-duper deluxe nature documentary clearly aims to recruit young viewers as conservationists.
  14. Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine
    What the movie actually could’ve used less of is Gibney, whose faux-pensive voice-overs are meant to push the story forward, but more often make your eyeballs roll backward.
  15. Bone Tomahawk
    I doubt there’s a huge audience for a movie like Bone Tomahawk, but those who find it may turn it into a new cult classic.
  16. Let Them All Talk
    There’s a loose, jazzy verve to the production, a sort of sonic and visual razzmatazz that gives the film a fanciful Oceans 11-style gloss. Mostly, though, Talk is just a chance to spend two hours watching Streep & Co. make the most of Deborah Eisenberg’s deliciously salty script, while Soderbergh — who also serves as cinematographer — shoots it all in ruthless, radiant light.
  17. Superman Returns
    The surprise of Superman Returns is that it isn't a funky, ambitious conceptual reimagining, like last summer's "Batman Begins." This really IS your father's Superman; it re-creates - and updates, though just barely - the universe Donner invented.
  18. Men in Black
    The aliens aren't particularly scary or funny, and so the joke of watching Smith and Jones crack wise in their faces wears thin.
  19. Infinity Pool
    At least Mia Goth, herself recently reborn as indie horror's new scream queen with Pearl, understands the assignment, getting more unhinged with every scene (her character starts off with vigorous flirting and a brusque handjob, and goes from there).
  20. Blindsight
    Lucy Walker's observant film Blindsight is about profound East-West differences in the importance of journey versus destination and comradeship versus competition.
  21. Good Hair
    Rock gives Good Hair a rousing message: Where African-Americans in the '60s adopted a ''natural'' look, they now feel free to coif their heads any way they want. That's cultural power.
  22. Pi
    The movie's freakazoid intensity gets to you, but there's something at once cramped and show-offy in Aronofsky's refusal to even slighty vary its atmosphere of shock-corridor burnout.
  23. Dances with Wolves
    The movie is so busy turning the Sioux characters into photogenic saints that it never quite allows them the complications of human beings.
  24. Tony Manero
    Larrain's (literally) dark, edgy movie is a precise artistic commentary on Augusto Pinochet's miserable regime.
  25. Presumed Innocent
    The convolutions of Turow’s plot remain absorbing, and Presumed Innocent is certainly as watchable as a lot of other courtoom-investigative thrillers. Yet almost everything in the picture feels sterile and posed. Pakula is good at laying out an intricate, almost mathematical series of events (his best film remains All the President’s Men), but he’s not big on atmosphere. The movie could have used some of the bowels-of-the-city grit Sidney Lumet brought to Q & A.
  26. The Outrun
    Without Ronan's towering talent, The Outrun could easily be a trite addiction drama. But Ronan, cast against the backdrop of the sublime, evocative Orkney Island landscapes, elevates the film to a moving tale of overcoming one's demons and learning to savor life as it comes.
  27. Wreck-It Ralph
    There are more videogame cameos and winks than you can shake a Wiimote at - even the Konami Code, the gamer's paternoster, makes an appearance - but the real success of the film is its emotional core and the relationship between the two misfits.
  28. First They Killed My Father
    It’s an artful, quietly affecting piece of filmmaking, more than worth the lessons learned.
  29. ParaNorman
    The story may be thin, but the project, a feat of stop-motion animation, is made with generous care by the same impressive LAIKA studio artists who conjured up the gorgeous "Coraline."
  30. Let It Rain
    Jaoui neatly, gently, firmly slips political commentary into Let It Rain's articulate mayhem.
