  1. 7 Days
    Under the guise of a straightforward love story, Sethi’s film reveals itself to be an incisive look into the long-running Indian tradition of arranged marriages and its implications, set against the backdrop of a rapidly spreading COVID-19. If that sounds heavy, it’s anything but, the writer-director ensuring that things don’t get bogged down in ponderous polemic or pretentiousness.
  2. The Letter: An American Town and the 'Somali Invasion'
    As an affecting work of compassionate craftsmanship, The Letter delivers.
  3. Four Hands
    Carefully balancing breakneck momentum and a heartfelt investigation of the grieving process is no simple feat, but Kienle is mostly up to the task.
  4. #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead
    #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead is a well-crafted horror comedy that provides a thoroughly enjoyable viewing experience. The cast brings their smartly written characters to life, adding depth and dimension to the story.
  5. In This World
    The film has a riveting central narrative, the performances are compelling and, most of all, we need to hear more immigration stories like this.

    Master Z: Ip Man Legacy
    Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy is a big story with big action along the lines of Carlito’s Way. You can easily jump in on this story without needing to see the previous Ip Man films.
  7. The Pilgrim
    It’s impossible to escape the allusions to faith throughout the film. It may not be everyone’s bag, but Benson uses it in a relatively unobtrusive way that doesn’t seem like an exercise in proselytizing.
  8. Bodied
    Dense in content but also delivered at an intense pace – much like the raps themselves – the script by Kahn and Alex Larsen (a prominent Toronto rapper under the moniker of Kid Twist) balances the harsh directness of rap lyricism with academic analysis, without alienating fans of either realm.

    100 Days to Live
    Though I don’t think 100 Days to Live is necessarily a PSA on suicide prevention, it’s a damn good thriller. I’m still thinking about the morality of that ending even now.

    American Fighter
    George Kosturos carries American Fighter. His acting is above average, and his fighting makes him look like this kid look believable. The bouts never feel choreographed or staged for the camera.

    Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her
    The stories are small but the outcome of each means so much to the characters, you’ll find yourself drawn into their very real world.

    The Dying Gaul
    The Dying Gaul is Craig Lucas's film directing debut, and it's impressive. The film never feels one bit like a stage adaptation.
  13. Diane
    Diane is incredibly satisfying, especially at the end, with all the loose ends tying themselves together in a way that isn’t entirely expected but is kind of in your face the entire time.
  14. The Golem
    The Golem is creepy, as the cinematography is awash with atmosphere and the use of such a creature is interesting. The dramatic side of things mostly holds up as well, and when combined with the excellent acting, the movie turns out to be very effective and memorable.

    Dolls
    The cinematography is stunning, particularly where Matsumoto and Sawoko walk through the four seasons of life.
  16. Bloody Marie
    A cautionary tale, a story of salvation, sad, lyrical, funny and even brutal at times, Bloody Marie is a shot of adrenaline in a landscape filled with cinematic clones. It may not be perfect, or for everyone, but it sure is spicy as hell, and it gets most of the ingredients just right.
  17. The Idolmaker
    Who thought that New Kids On the Block would turn out to be the most influential group of the ’90s? Anyone who was paying attention to history, of course. That’s why The Idolmaker is so fascinating. Based on the guy who gave us Fabian and Frankie, it understands the inevitable pattern that repeats itself time and time again.
  18. The Painter and the Thief
    Sometimes we need to bask in each other’s demons, to exorcise them and achieve a semblance of redemption. Ree traces such a relationship; like an evocative painting, The Painter and the Thief will remain engraved in your memory.
  19. Yuni
    Yuni is a beautiful, tender film with strong characterizations. The cast is excellent, and the subtle direction reinforces Yuni’s overwhelming feelings.

    Nowhere Man
    A grim and gritty movie, but sardonically funny at the same time.
  21. Lila Says
    This thoroughly engaging, if tragic, love story unfolds like a psychological striptease. The biggest challenge here is not to blush.

    Teeth
    Like a deranged version of “Clueless,” the film is light-hearted, yet subversive, displaying a surprisingly wicked bite…literally.

    Juno
    Bateman is given all the best dialogue and delivers his hilarious one-liners and odd observations with his usual brilliant deadpan, along with Garner who gives the finest performance of her career.
  24. The Same River Twice
    Congratulations to Robb Moss for making such a crowd-pleaser. But more importantly, congratulations to Moss for having such interesting friends.

    Seeing Other People
    Another astute independent comedy shot on a small budget and boasting high laugh-per-minute ratio. But these are good laughs, not your average sitcom laughs.
  26. Girl You Know It's True
    The music is excellent, the direction is clear, and the story does not disappoint, even though it is true and sadly tragic. The acting makes sense and carries the film until the end. Perhaps what makes Girl You Know It’s True success is that you can’t believe it happened and is true.
  27. The American Astronaut
    This musical epic is unlike anything I (or anyone I know) have ever laid eyes on.
  28. Sky High
    Surprisingly good.
  29. Boiling Point
    This is one intensely-flavored meal that begs to be swallowed in a single bite. Compliments to the chef.
  30. Syriana
    A bleak and powerful movie, made all the more sobering by how much of it isn't fiction.
