  1. Antlers
    The exposition-heavy, cluttered finale, wherein the plethora of thematic elements collide and threaten to implode, almost undoes the painstakingly built-up sense of melancholy/paranoia. Yet it’s refreshing to see a wide release aspire to be something more than just another creature feature, slasher, or zombie gore-fest. Antlers has something to say. It should’ve just spoken less, and more eloquently.
  2. The Kindred
    Despite its plot-thick propensities, The Kindred remains a superior British thriller that unfolds with a deliberate, measured pace leading its audience through an engaging mystery with a deeply human core.
  3. The Nowhere Inn
    The Nowhere Inn deeply explores the dynamic between performer and audience and performer with self. It does so in a way I’ve never seen before. It has so many layers that at some point, you get lost in the thick of it, but in a good way.
  4. Insomnia
    A good movie, atmospheric and sometimes creepy. It grabs us with the premise and holds our attention and doesn’t let go, right up to the explosive climax.
  5. The Burial Society
    The appeal of The Burial Society lays in its unusual and obscure take on an otherwise mundane tale of greed, treachery and double-cross.
  6. Tel Aviv on Fire
    Tel Aviv on Fire moves with purpose, even if it occasionally trips over its own ideas. It has a lot on its mind but doesn’t tackle all of them deeply, focusing on the satire and outlandish comedy. Thankfully, that’s where the movie succeeds the most.
  7. Grizzly Man
    The results are by turns fascinating, horrifying, and maddening.
  8. The Road to Mandalay
    Both Wu Ke-xi and Kai Ko were phenomenal in their performances and Midi Z has probably in Mandalay his best work so far.
  9. Jackie Brown
    Quentin actually made a REAL movie, with believable characters and performances, rather than just repositories for clever dialog.
  10. Infinitum: Subject Unknown
    Infinitum: Subject Unknown works as a scary, anxious thrill ride.
  11. Saint Ralph
    McGowan’s film isn’t just about following this boy’s private quest to accomplish the impossible. It is also about how he affects the other characters in the film.
  12. Kajillionaire
    It is leaps and bounds above the average boring status quo comedies, and it is exceptionally well-crafted.
  13. Fully Realized Humans
    he feature’s laid-back, lo-fi, semi-improvised approach and brevity ensure that it never lags. Although never quite reaching revelatory status, Leonard, a keen observer of the human condition, pieces together scenes that are bound to strike a resonant chord – especially with expecting couples.
  14. Red Right Hand
    Red Right Hand fully delivers in the action realm.
  15. Lansky
    Lanksy is a workman-like film with decent production values, but Rockaway is not Scorcese or Coppola. There are no great faults to find with it, except one: fans of the genre have literally seen every element of it before.
  16. Trespassers
    It should be memorable for fans of thrillers, especially for those of the home invasion variety.

    Say Uncle
    A consistently provoking dark comedy that not only sheds light on our cynical society, but on mentally unstable people who find solace in children.

    Horse Girl
    Enter Horse Girl with an open mind and enjoy the ride.
  19. Hala
    Hala is a breath of fresh air that reminds us that as long as we live authentically, with compassion and understanding, the world around us is far easier to deal with.
  20. What We Leave Behind
    What We Leave Behind is about generations passing on their hard-earned wisdom. It offers an insider’s glimpse into our neighbor’s culture. Some may find its lack of emotional peaks – save for, perhaps, the ending – exasperating, while others may regard it as a well-edited and shot home movie. But look a little deeper. There’s real poetry here.
  21. The Starling
    The Starling is trying to be a feel-good movie about finding hope in dark times. That’s admirable, but the main problem is that it does it in such a down-the-middle, straightforward way. As a result, there aren’t any surprises and at least a few missed opportunities. Still, Melissa McCarthy and Kevin Kline are worth the price of admission alone.
  22. Things Will Be Different
    The filmmaker, doing a lot with an extremely limited cast and location, has a concrete vision and sticks with it, and whether you get it or not is up to you. A character in the film, when confronted, states: “Big question. Too long to answer.” That pretty much summarizes this cinematic endeavor.

    The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
    In a case where the most dangerous are kept dangerously close, here we have a rarity: a suspenseful, yet dramatic Western.
  24. Lilo & Stitch
    Sublimely silly and genuinely sweet film.
  25. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
    I can't deny it: I had a shit-eating grin on my face for most of the ensuing two hours. I also can't deny that many of the criticisms about to be leveled at Spielberg and Lucas over "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" are well-deserved, but it's still good to see Indiana Jones, and Marion, back in action one last time.
  26. The Guilty
    The Guilty manages to keep things interesting with a propulsive plot.
  27. Julia
    The directors’ reverence is clear, but they don’t shy away from giving a three-dimensional examination of their subject.
  28. Hal
    Hal is a loving tribute to a filmmaker who rarely gets the attention he deserves.

    Tafiti: Across the Desert
    If you’re hunting for a fresh animated quest for the under-ten crowd, Tafiti: Across the Desert delivers a simple, sweet ride with Tafiti and Bristles proving that the best adventures come with an unexpected (yet familiar) partner.

    Cannibal Mukbang
    Cannibal Mukbang is not for the faint-hearted, nor is it perfect. It is audacious, messy, and oddly romantic.
