  1. Mansfield Park
    The Australian actress Frances O'Connor is a true find. She's as beautiful as the young Barbara Hershey, with a stare that's pensive yet playful, and she puts us in touch with the quiet battle of emotions in Fanny.
  2. Divan
    The serious struggle in this lilting doc is told with an inviting light touch and a big heart.
  3. Next Stop Wonderland
    Anderson brings compassion to his amused sense of yuppie tragicomedy, as he does to his nuanced understanding of Boston, the setting of this appealing fairy tale.
  4. Macbeth
    The film’s raw performances get upstaged by Kurzel’s medieval shock-and-awe palette. The text has been streamlined to make room for more brutal mud-and-blood battle sequences, hauntingly shot by Adam Arkapaw.
  5. Warrior
    Mostly, Warrior is a showcase for its up-and-coming stars. Edgerton, from last year's "Animal Kingdom," and Hardy, who stole scenes as the identity forger in "Inception."
  6. Far from the Madding Crowd
    With a steely resilience burning beneath her delicate, creamy complexion, Carey Mulligan brings remarkable nuance and a rich inner life to the role of Bathsheba Everdene.
  7. Sleepwalk with Me
    Lauren Ambrose is lovely as the girlfriend he's a fool to lose but seems intent on losing anyhow.
  8. Pleasantville
    Technical elegance and fine performances mask the shallowness of a story as simpleminded as the '50s TV to which it condescends; certainly it's got none of the depth, poignance, and brilliance of "The Truman Show," the recent TV-is-stifling drama that immediately comes to mind.

    Blackmail
    The director's most literal signature elements are almost all on display in his first talkie — dizzying camerawork, endless staircases, and fast-paced chase scenes make the movie's best moments distinctly engaging.
  10. The Bergman Trilogy
    After a lifetime of flogging the demons of cosmic despair, Ingmar Bergman, at 88, comes off as lean and vigorous in this fascinating memoir-interview.
  11. Requiem for a Dream
    May be the first movie to fully capture the way that drugs dislocate us from ourselves.
  12. Separate Lies
    Wilkinson once again astonishes with his ability to convey weakness and strength, hypocrisy and gallantry, cruelty and compassion in the same male animal.
  13. No One Knows About Persian Cats
    Director Bahman Ghobadi (Turtles Can Fly) shot his faux documentary in secret, and the close-to-the-ground style compensates for the tenuous narrative structure by capturing the energy and variety of Tehran's music scene in all its bravery.
  14. Where the Wild Things Are
    This is one of the year's best. To paraphrase the Wild Thing named KW, I could eat it up, I love it so.
  15. Little Fish
    Obsessed though it is with the past, throughout its whole runtime, the best part always lies ahead.
  16. Ingrid Goes West
    A clever, corrosive little trick of a movie, a neon candy heart dipped in asbestos.
  17. RBG
    RBG is an unapologetic valentine to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but a sharp and spiky one too.
  18. Roman de gare
    A sly catalog of deceits and a gentle commentary on slippery creativity and desire.
  19. Earth
    Even blood, spilled so freely, has a distinctive intensity of red in this beautiful and harrowing film.
  20. Carandiru
    Lays on the compassion a little thick, yet its heartfelt squalor stays with you.
  21. Twin Falls Idaho
    A quietly dazzling microcosm that's always just this side of eerie, just that side of tragic.
  22. Shadow of the Vampire
    Kicky, elaborately constructed fantasy.
  23. Collateral
    Michael Mann's tensely funny and alive Los Angeles night-world thriller, is, in its own twisty way, a very high-stakes buddy movie, yet it doesn't look like one, because it leaps off from a situation more jangled and threatening than we're used to.
  24. House of Sand and Fog
    Just because a scenario turns dark doesn't mean that it's convincing. House of Sand and Fog is artful until it lunges for Art.
  25. Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
    Aims for the junior stargazer in a release coinciding with NASA's new moon-by-2018 initiative. The movie is unmistakably a pitch, and an honorable one.
  26. Grbavica: The Land of My Dreams
    The dramatic conflicts are soapy and unsubtle, but Karanovic pours intense authority into Esma's scarred psyche.
  27. Lourdes
    Beautifully led by birdlike Sylvie Testud as an ailing young woman in a wheelchair, every character (pilgrim and helper alike) exhibits a soul. And shaped with confident talent by the Austrian filmmaker, every serenely composed shot matters.
  28. Clockers
    A work of staggering intelligence and emotional force -- a mosaic of broken dreams.
