    The Witches
    From scene to scream, The Witches is good mean fun for the whole family.
  2. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
    In a year short on so many of those things, Jangle feels like finding something sweetly familiar but also new, finally, under the tree.
  3. Daughters of Darkness
    Loaded with atmosphere, bared flesh, and a haunting turn by the Dietrich-esque Delphine Seyrig as an ageless countess who hungers for a pair of newlyweds (and their necks).
  4. Hard Target
    By the time Hard Target reaches its amazing climax, set in a warehouse stocked with surreal Mardi Gras floats, the film has become an incendiary action orgy, as joyously excessive as the grand finale in a fireworks show. Woo puts the thrill back into getting blown away.

    The Man with the Golden Arm
    Though director Otto Preminger’s decision to use an RKO set instead of Chicago locations initially jars, he makes it work, amping up the claustrophobic tension in beautifully choreographed long takes.
  6. The White Tiger
    Gourav is frankly devastating, his face a cracked mask of pain and disbelief. In others he's ruthless, calculating, even cruel. It's the kind of performance that can either make or break a movie like this, and the broad sweep of Tiger, with its cavalcade of outsize themes and incidents, sometimes threatens to overtake him. But through his eyes, Balram's singular story — in all its wild, exuberant improbability — roars to life
  7. Farewell Amor
    Its gentle, understated tone belies Msangi’s careful attention to rhythm and detail, though the simplicity of the plot, particularly in a few mild contrivances, slightly undermines the story’s authenticity.
  8. The Killing of Two Lovers
    With [Crawford's] proud, wounded performance at the center, the film's raw vérité style and unforced naturalism do more than set a mood; in its best moments, it breaks your heart.
  9. Monsoon
    The specificity with which Khaou portrays this beautiful place, evolving beyond its traumatic history but never forgetting it entirely, is what makes Monsoon so piercing.
    • 73 Metascore

    Robin and Marian
    The social satire gets precious at times, but Connery (sans hairpiece!) and Hepburn (swathed for the first hour in a nun’s wimple) bring a fervid depth of feeling to their characters’ rekindled courtship.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Young Man with a Horn
    (Doris Day) is quietly touching in Young Man With a Horn as a singer pining for Kirk Douglas’ tortured trumpeter.
  12. Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry
    As her success spikes exponentially, so does the film's momentum, shifting toward the more familiar touchstones of a traditional music doc: The smear of foreign cities seen through a town-car window; the endless roundelay of interviews, meet-and-greets, and promo signings.
  13. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
    Furiosa can’t possibly be as mind-blowing as its predecessor, but it does allow us to spend a little more time in this world and Miller’s mind. No other working action filmmaker sees the world the way he does.
    • 54 Metascore

    So I Married an Axe Murderer
    As an evening’s rental, it provides an embarrassment of silly riches. Travis is unstoppably charming, and well-integrated comic cameos by Alan Arkin, Phil Hartman, and Steven Wright keep things chugging.
  15. CODA
    Jones — who trained intensively in voice work and American Sign Language for the role — has the gift of coming off like a genuine teenager, and more particularly a girl torn between her unique obligations to the people she's always loved and known and the bigger dreams she holds for herself.
  16. Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
    The interviews are their own historical document, though it's the visceral thrill of being inside all those archival clips — the flick of Simone's wrist, an ecstatic face in the crowd — that makes Summer of Soul comes most fully alive, somehow both as fresh as yesterday and as far away as the moon.
  17. Misha and the Wolves
    The insights of the doc don't reverberate far beyond the story it's telling. But oh, what a story.
  18. Together Together
    A wry low-key dramedy that lands with surprising sweetness.
  19. Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal
    Most illuminating are the various journalists, attorneys, witnesses, and admissions counselors who testify to the case
  20. Avalon
    When Levinson leaves the older generation behind and concentrates on his immediate family, Avalon becomes suffused with the thrill and anxiety of young, postwar Americans approaching life in a way that’s so new it feels like science fiction.
  21. Gas Food Lodging
    Gas Food Lodging is really about the same thing Thelma & Louise was about: It’s a portrait of working-class women betrayed and abandoned by men. Yet I vastly preferred this movie’s generous and buoyant tone.
  22. Heavenly Creatures
    If the pleaures of Heavenly Creatures remain defiantly on the surface, on that level the movie is a dazzler.
  23. Of Mice and Men
    Lyrical, stirring, and beautifully acted — a seamless adaptation of a novel many will recall with almost too much familiarity.
  24. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
    The MCU has been stumbling a bit since it bid goodbye to Captain America and Iron Man, and by reuniting us with characters we've known and loved for years, GotG 3 marks a welcome pivot from a recent run of unimpressive experiments and disappointing debuts. It'll be a long time, if ever, before we feel this kind of emotional payoff from this franchise again.
  25. Red Rocket
    Rocket is leisurely episodic and at over two hours, almost certainly longer than it needs to be, but the director's singular gift for street casting — beyond Rex, hardly anyone here has acted professionally before — and deeply embedded sense of mood works its own kind of unhurried alchemy.
  26. Lamb
    The movie's stark Nordic mood and obscure mystery are as coolly immersive as nearly anything on screen this year — and in the hammy world of supernatural horror, that ambiguity alone feels like a small, spooky gift.
  27. Titane
    In an era when nearly everything that can be done on film already has been, Titane forges something sensational from nerve and pure metal, and makes it new.
  28. The Meaning of Life
    It’s tough to find the meaning in much of the craziness on display here, let alone the meaning of all human existence as the title promises, but you will find a whole lot of exquisite nonsense.
  29. Bullet Train
    Leitch embarks on a series of adrenalized set pieces that defy logic and physics so breezily that its relentless, ridiculous violence plays more like a winsome ballet.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Help!
    The music (including Ticket to Ride) is wonderful and the European scenery an eyeful, but this is ultimately a movie starring the Beatles rather than a Beatles movie, and there’s a big difference.
