  1. Diane
    No wonder that cinematic auteurs like Martin Scorsese and Oren Moverman produced Diane. It brings to mind films like Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count On Me, produced by Scorsese, or Moverman’s Time Out of Mind (which also dealt with memories, identity and the limits of human compassion). Jones may lack a little of the former’s humor or the latter’s visual artistry, but perhaps it’ll come later. The hard skills are all here.

    Thumbsucker
    Benefits from a goofy yet incisive sense of humor and some extremely strong performances.
  3. Red Rocket
    [Simon Rex] goes all-in and sells it with incredible skill and passion. Suzanna Son as Strawberry is also a revelation. She has star quality and a screen presence that is extremely rare. We will be seeing her again.

    Dating Amber
    It might be easy to write off Dating Amber as yet another “coming out” film, but what it ultimately is is just plain ol’ good storytelling.

    Dead Man's Shoes
    An original, complex, and utterly gruesome revenge parable, and never portrays its characters as black and white. Considine handles his performance like a pro, and only adds to the pure skill behind it.
  6. Clawfoot
    For a low-budget, contained flick, Day’s film does a remarkable job of keeping audiences riveted with a minimum of pyrotechnics. It doesn’t aspire to greatness, knowing perfectly well what it is: a lean, mean, bloody little machine with a few subliminal – and not-so-subliminal – messages thrown in. Dive right into this tub.
  7. Uncle Frank
    There are some intense, heartbreaking moments in this film, but I am glad to say that the ending is not as sad as it could have been.
  8. Willy's Wonderland
    Willy’s Wonderland is a violent, glorious riot of inside-joke horror tropes and Cage’s own best tribute to a genre he helped to create.

    Phone Booth
    It spends little time on exposition, instead quickly getting into the thrust of the movie. For a film like this, it’s advantageous, grabbing the audience almost immediately after the opening credits.
  10. Castle in the Ground
    While Castle in the Ground may not quite hold together from a narrative perspective, it’s so atmospheric, so acute in the small, tender moments it captures and is propelled by performances of such power, that it hardly matters.

    Before Sunset
    The sequel is an uninterrupted 80-minute dialogue between two richly imagined and performed characters.

    The Persian Version
    The Persian Version is a comedic and beautiful portrait of a Muslim immigrant family caught between the struggles of two cultures and two generations, featuring two outstanding performances that should not be missed.

    The Lost Daughter
    The beauty of the film is just how genuine and down-to-earth the performances are and how Gyllenhaal maintains a natural, authentic tone throughout.
  14. Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV
    As much fun as I had with this film, and many others will have with it for years to come, Citizen Toxie is definitely an acquired taste.

    Divine Intervention
    Wonderfully effective, funny and yet horrific film.
  16. In Between Days
    The camera lingers on the characters' minimal, but expressive actions, allowing the viewer to soak in their emotions rather than having them related to us through dialogue. In doing so, In Between Days is more of an experience than your average movie.
  17. The Elephant 6 Recording Co.
    In The Elephant 6 Recording Company, Stockfleth has assembled the definitive document about a scene that is exceedingly difficult to define. The achievement of getting his arms around the concept and presenting it as such a coherent and entertaining experience is impressive and important.
  18. Mercy Falls
    Mercy Falls asks viewers to make a giant leap of logic to work fully. It makes everyone seem foolish for a brief moment. But the kills and action are brutal and intense. The cast, McKeown and Lyle especially, is giving it their all. The directing and cinematography show just how well Hendrick is honing his craft.
  19. The Boys of Baraka
    An entertaining experience as the filmmakers focus on a few select boys who provide a wealth of charm as they struggle with their new surroundings.
  20. The Princess
    Perkins brings an entirely new perspective to her life and the events that lead to her untimely death.
  21. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
    Tykwer makes of all this murder and madness a concoction of improbable beauty and rare artistry. "Perfume" is not just the finest film of his career but easily one of the past year's most accomplished.
  22. Fighting with My Family
    It’s a touching and funny tale about a family chasing their unconventional dreams in the world of sports entertainment. It has such a magnificent cast, and the story is interesting enough to entertain both wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans alike.
  23. Solaris
    I find Soderbergh's Solaris an eminently more satisfying experience than Lem's. This is a film as elegantly directed as any by Kubrick, one which is superbly acted and brilliantly scored, as spellbinding a work of cinema as we're likely to see for some time.

    The Lovebirds
    The film’s structural frenzy lends itself to lots of comic riffing from the leads that often results in hilarious one-liners.
  25. Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection
    Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection does an excellent job of examining all aspects of his life in order to get a full picture. Fans of his work, as well as the uninitiated, should find Stevens’ eccentric ways fascinating.
  26. His Girl Friday
    His Girl Friday probably shouldn’t be approached lightly. You don’t want to try and watch this when you’re half asleep. His Girl Friday is probably best seen in the middle of crystal meth adventure. If you’re not paying attention you’ll probably miss all the jokes and not understand this movie.
  27. Destroyer
    Destroyer is a good film, but it is Kidman’s nuanced performance that takes it to the next level.
    • 63 Metascore

    Hannah Takes the Stairs
    What really elevates Hannah Takes the Stairs is the truly outstanding performance by Greta Gerwig.
  29. The Trip
    So well is this film made, written and acted that you’d have to be a pretty big hard ass not to get pulled into the hilarious and even touching exploits of Alan and Tommy as their lives take the most unpredictable of turns. Try it, you’ll like it!

    The Savages
    The interaction between Hoffman and Linney makes following their characters from their winter of hard experience to a spring of renewed hope well worth the while.
