  1. The Rescue
    Sometimes reality is stranger, more unbelievable, and more inspirational than fiction.

    Sundown
    Tim Roth is great as Neil.

    Writing with Fire
    Writing with Fire accomplishes what any good documentary should—it allows the viewer a visit a world that they might never even have known to exist.
  4. Saint-Narcisse
    LaBruce dresses up kink in priestly robes and biker leather and raw skin and sets it out on a runway walk in open daylight.
  5. Julia
    The directors’ reverence is clear, but they don’t shy away from giving a three-dimensional examination of their subject.
  6. 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.
  7. The Guilty
    The Guilty manages to keep things interesting with a propulsive plot.
  8. The Power of the Dog
    It is a worthy return to feature directing by Jane Campion and a thoroughly relevant film to our modern discourse.
  9. Rumba Love
    Despite its slight story and tiny budget, the music that pulses through the heart of the film buoys it above its limitations.
  10. Mothering Sunday
    Another problem with the film is the pacing. The main story is interesting enough, but it just feels padded and stretched.
  11. The Mad Women's Ball
    The Mad Women’s Ball avoids caricature or stereotype, though the grounds it walks may seem somewhat familiar. Laurent treads them with skill and passion, immersing us into a period wildly different and dishearteningly similar to ours.
  12. Fire Music
    Fire Music is a comprehensive overview of the major players in this wild, unrelenting scene. Keep in mind, this is a 90-minute documentary, not a 20-hour Ken Burns epic, so it moves quickly. The point, however, is not to be the ultimate authority on the subject but to discuss the motivations and mindsets of the artists involved.
  13. Cinderella
    Cinderella fails spectacularly on just about every level.
  14. A Hero
    Farhadi is, of course, excellent at revealing character through people thrust into morally complicated circumstances. This is achieved here through a slow build and a masterfully nuanced set of character choices.
  15. Malignant
    Wan has style to spare, his direction brimming with confidence and his by-now-familiar trademarks.
  16. Candyman
    I will say Candyman is worth watching. But I will advise not going in with preconceived ideas or comparisons to the original because that is where the disappointment will hit you like a brick to the head.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is an origin story, and director Destin Daniel Cretton, working from script he wrote alongside Dave Callaham and, Andrew Lanham did a masterful job telling a story that’s not only Asian-American but a Marvel movie at the same time.
  18. Moffie
    Kai Luke Brummer is a revelation in the central role, his introverted performance buoying the plot with nuance and charisma. We navigate through the horrors right alongside him, and we root for him, and in the end, despite a striking and sad realization, we gaze at the ocean and wonder if there’s hope for humanity yet.
  19. The Gateway
    This is one of the better examples of art imitating life that I have seen in a long time. It’s very real and takes no prisoners. Watch it when you feel like having a good cry.
  20. Who You Think I Am
    You may think you know what to expect from Nebbou’s gem, but as it unfolds, the tragic, hilarious, deeply cynical, and oddly uplifting film proves to be as multidimensional and expectations-defying as its formidable protagonist.
  21. When I'm a Moth
    Every so often, a motion picture comes around that’s so dreadful you wonder what prompted anyone to want to waste their time making it and your time watching it to such a degree. When I’m a Moth holds that dubious distinction.
  22. The Old Ways
    The Old Ways is a masterpiece that shows how great horror will be done in the future: swiftly paced, engrossing and terrifying.
  23. The Human Voice
    Please seek out The Human Voice as soon as you can. It is a short, shockingly beautiful exploration of the stages of abandonment.

    The Seer and the Unseen
    The Seer and the Unseen has more to offer by showing us the kind and gentle landscape and people of Iceland. It’s best to take the movie for what it is at face value. If you’re the type of person, who just wants to mock an old lady, then you best move on to a different film.

    The Protégé
    The Protégé is just good action-y thriller-y fun with great repeat value. It falls in that mid-range budget for an action film, maybe just a few notches below the Bourne films. So it’s the perfect popcorn and movie outing for the weekend.
  26. The East
    It’s a thrilling, poignant accomplishment, as uncompromisingly bleak as it is epic in scope.
  27. Infinitum: Subject Unknown
    Infinitum: Subject Unknown works as a scary, anxious thrill ride.

    A Dark Foe
    I’d describe A Dark Foe as a dark ride at Disneyland. You’re invited to step into a vehicle, buckle up, sit back, and enjoy what happens around you. The steady progression into darkness moves rather quickly through one revelation after the other.

    Respect
    Liesl Tommy extracts the proper emotion from every scene, and the music is like truffles on top of a fantastic meal.

    Pray Away
    Beautifully filmed and incorporating interviews and impressive archival news footage, Pray Away digs deep into the pathology of fundamentalist Christian conceptions of reparative therapy. By showcasing survivors of the “ex-gay” movement and illustrating the personal tragedy that has resulted from individual involvement, the film provides a lens of hope for those who think there is none.
