  1. Owning Mahowny
    Hoffman plays Dan Mahowny's addiction to instant money as something dirty and private and, at the same time, soul-quickening.
  2. Girlfight
    While Rodriguez punches through the indie clutter to announce herself as a superb new movie talent, so Kusama scores big points in her first main event.
  3. Unstrung Heroes
    Trying for a dark-toned comedy of familial mishap, Keaton dips into the sentimental fraudulence.
  4. The Friend
    It gracefully captures the remarkable, singular relationship that human beings share with their pets, tapping into the poignancy and warmth that comes from such a bond.
  5. Colossal
    Even if the script’s psychological reach ultimately falls short, Colossal is still a clever, comic, wildly surreal ride — right up until the last sucker-punch frame.
  6. In & Out
    As a sharky, gay TV journalist investigating the story, Tom Selleck charms by playing in contrast to his own determinedly hetero persona.

    Bad Lieutenant
    For all its scenes of degradation (five minutes of which have been shorn for an R-rated cut; we recommend the original NC-17 version), Bad Lieutenant is a deeply moral movie. It's not pretty-it's not even very realistic-but it does matter.
  8. Emilia Pérez
    Despite a slow start and its wildly varying tones, Emilia Pérez works best when you give yourself over to its harried, shaggy magic. It's an ambitious, provocative, big swing of a picture — and if it's not always a home run, at least it manages to consistently get on base.
  9. Big Fan
    The movie is an unblinking look at the hidden (or perhaps not so hidden) pathology of American sports mania.
  10. Ant-Man and the Wasp
    Ant-Man and the Wasp is working too hard to look unconvincingly relaxed.
  11. House of Sand
    The House of Sand's director, Andrucha Waddington, lays on the Awesome Visual Poetry and throws in a welter of story gimmicks, but it's all a bit too fancifully arid.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    John Lewis: Good Trouble
    John Lewis: Good Trouble is absolutely inspiring — but it stops a bit short of being illuminating.
  13. Paddleton
    Thanks to two pitch-perfect performances, Paddleton is bittersweet and poignant beyond words.
  14. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    The creators of Captain America: The Winter ­Soldier have brought off something fresh and bold.
  15. Primary Colors
    One of those thrilling confluences in pop culture that rewards audiences for thinking the worst about politicians and the best about movie stars.
  16. Better Living Through Circuitry
    It's got a good beat, you can dance to it.
  17. Personal Velocity: Three Portraits
    A no-frills docu-Dogma plainness, yet Miller lingers on invisible, nearly psychic nuances, leaping into digressions of memory and desire. She boxes these women's souls right open for us.
  18. The Emperor's New Groove
    Hip, funny, mostly nonmusical, decidedly non- epic family picture.
  19. Prisoner of Paradise
    Gerron's terrible film was never shown in the places it was meant for, but in Prisoner of Paradise it reveals a queasy corner of the Nazi mind that tried to imagine a concentration camp as it fantasized the inmates might have.
  20. 10 Things I Hate About You
    The film's crank-case snappishness doesn't break any molds, but it certainly gives you a lift.
  21. Freaky Friday
    A funny, shrewd, no-bull family comedy about the relationship between mothers and teenage daughters that allows Curtis the comedian to remember her days as a slinky starlet while making use of her wisdom as the mother of an adolescent girl herself.
  22. Thirteen
    With an authenticity that is tender and merciless, the movie shows you what it looks like when youth rebellion becomes a form of fascism.
  23. The Krays
    We never get any sense of how the brothers build their empire, or of how the various supporting characters fit into their lives. Telling this story in a more straightforward fashion would have been far more satisfying. Still, the Kemps are something to see.
  24. Together Together
    A wry low-key dramedy that lands with surprising sweetness.
  25. Heartbeats
    Xavier Dolan is back with another madly stylish Montreal-made delight.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    eXistenZ
    Typically icky and unusually witty.
  27. Far from the Tree
    All of the families in Far From the Tree are compelling — their trials unimaginable and their spirits indomitable.
  28. Gunner Palace
    The film's fragmentary structure, though, is suspect. It says that the soldiers find no real meaning in their combat actions, yet Gunner Palace presents the operations we're seeing in so little context, reducing them to a random hash of ''sensational'' moments, that Tucker at times appears to be exploiting the war to create a didactic canvas of manic military unease.
  29. The Skin I Live In
    Allusions to "Vertigo," "Rebecca," and Georges Franju's great 1960 French horror movie "Eyes Without a Face" are intentional: The Skin I Live In is, above all, the creation of a movie fanatic who loves to look.
  30. Curse of the Golden Flower
    Curse of the Golden Flower is a watchable soap opera, but its marching-band martial-arts scenes are little more than weakly staged retreads of the ones in Zhang's "Hero."
