  1. If You Don't, I Will
    A quiet, intermittently poignant portrait of two people who've lost each other and aren't sure they want to find their way back.
  2. The Illusionist
    The Illusionist looks rigorously styled and measured, and every one of Norton's postures feels chosen. Yet the interesting actor has chosen so thoughtfully that we're riveted.
  3. Office Space
    Feels cramped and underimagined. I think Judge is capable of making an inspired live-action comedy, but next time he'll have to remember to do what he does in his animated ones--keep the madness popping.
  4. Pulse
    Nothing in the two snail-paced hours of Pulse makes close to a shred of sense?
  5. Queen and Country
    Tonally, the movie can’t decide whether it’s a comedy, a romance, or a wistful wartime madeleine. What it’s missing is the sense of joy and wonder of its predecessor.
  6. Charlotte's Web
    What hooks you from the start is Dakota Fanning's unfussy passion as Fern.
  7. The End of the Line
    Spells out the problem in clear, urgent, prosaic terms.
  8. Professor Marston & the Wonder Women
    A tasteful, surprisingly sedate biopic slathered in the traditional signposts of heavy exposition, gold-toned cinematography, and note-perfect period detail.
  9. Chuck
    Schreiber buoys the film with his characteristic blend of nuance and smirking humor, exuding likability though never lionizing the self-described “selfish prick” that he’s portraying.
  10. For Your Consideration
    Each and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold.
  11. Hustle & Flow
    The home-studio recording sequences in Hustle & Flow are funky, rowdy, and indelible. Brewer gives us the pleasure of watching characters create music from the ground up.
  12. A Civil Action
    Starts out well, but it turns into an almost perversely undramatic legal thriller.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Watch on the Rhine
    Lillian Hellman’s WWII potboiler Watch on the Rhine feels dated.
  14. Richard Jewell
    As a filmmaker, Eastwood may not be famed for subtlety, but he does have a way with economy. And he delivers Jewell’s story with almost no unnecessary flourishes; a taut, streamlined drama leavened by crucial doses of empathy.
  15. Winter Sleepers
    It's slow and pretentious, full of craggy Bavarian snowscapes and dour "mystical" portents that seem to circle back to nothing but themselves.
  16. Heaven
    Further sad evidence that Tom Tykwer, director of the resonant and sense-spinning ''Run Lola Run,'' has turned out to be a one-trick pony -- a maker of softheaded metaphysical claptrap. It's enough to make you want to see him run again.
  17. Miracle
    Miracle -- the title taken from TV announcer Al Michaels' famous game-clinching cheer, ''Do you believe in miracles? Yes!'' -- wins not when it exhorts by word but when it shows by action.
  18. Bon voyage
    Bon Voyage arrives like one of those old soldiers who stumbles from his hiding place unaware that the war is over and the world has changed -- and with it, French cinema.
  19. The Bourne Identity
    It has a few whispers of intrigue, but at the heart of The Bourne Identity lies a dispiriting paradox: The more that Jason Bourne learns about himself, the less arresting he seems.
  20. The Night House
    Though the bag of tricks that Bruckner (V/H/S, The Ritual) digs through — the jump scares and shadow figures, the eerily suspended rules of gravity and physics — are familiar, he uses them to build a kind of clanging, feverish atmosphere. And British actress Hall (The Gift, Godzilla vs. Kong), tasked with carrying nearly every scene, grounds her performance in more than meat-puppet panic; her unraveling springs from genuine, furious grief.
  21. American Animals
    A movie seemingly custom-made for the era of alternative facts, American Animals feels like a new kind of true-crime thriller: one that shamelessly rewrites its truths in real time as it goes.
  22. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    If it’s not exactly unforgettable, it’s still pretty fun.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Take This Waltz
    By never standing back from Margot, the movie courts vagueness as well.
  24. Everybody Knows
    If there’s one nit to pick with Everybody Knows, it’s that Farhadi’s films, as excellent as they are, are starting to feel a bit same-y. He’s plying the same family-in-crisis formula he’s worked before. That formula still works like gangbusters, but it’s becoming a formula nonetheless: Happiness and community curdle into paranoia and suspicion.
  25. Bears
    There's an elemental appeal to watching these animals hunt and play in the Alaskan wildnerness, and the Disneynature team has mastered the art of capturing it.
  26. Off the Map
    This is a character study more than a forward-moving drama, plopped down with exquisite photographic care in a beautiful New Mexico desert, and starring good actors who make a feast of their flavorful roles.
  27. Hustle
    Sandler and Hernangomez have a sweet, goofy chemistry, somewhere between razzing and familial, and the on-court sequences are consistently electric. Hustle isn't reinventing the sports-story wheel; it's hardly even spinning it forward. But in the moment, they're having a ball.
  28. Heartbeat Detector
    It's a thin line between 20th-century Nazism and 21st-century corporate culture in Heartbeat Detector, Nicolas Klotz's rewardingly chilly psychological thriller.
  29. Thank You for Your Service
    Thank You For Service is so successful at capturing the Iraq War’s effects on American lives.
  30. Imperium
    Subtlety is not Imperium’s strength. But as a solid thriller, it’s far more successful, and Radcliffe is brilliant as the quick-on-his-feet agent.
